NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Annual Report of the Railroad Commission. The report of the railroad commission for the year ending December 1st, shows an increase in the taxable value ot railroads in the State since the first assessment of 87,405,056.56. In Halifax eounty the mileage aid assessed value for taxation is as follows : Raleigh a d Gaston 23.63 miles, value 7,183,50, Wilmington and Weldon, Weldon to Halifax 8 miles, value $80, 000, Wilmington and Weldon, Scotland Neck branch, 24.81 miles, value 155.- 982.78, Norfolk and Carolina 14.04 miles, value $114,479.95. Total number of miles of railroad subject to taxation in Halifax county when the report was made, 70.48; total value of property $357,64623. Since the report was made the main line of the W. & W. road from Halifax to the county linn has been subjected to taxation. It is 11 mites and valued at $110,00.0, so that now the total number of miles (all in the county) is 81.48, and total valuation for taxation is $467,646.23. The total annual State and county tax (not including the two yeais back taxes) is $3,117.64. The uurnber of miles and the valuation of the same in the towns in the county are as follows : Littletou, R. & G., miles 1.70; valua tion $516.80, Hobgood, W. & W., miles .81; valuation $1,131.67, Hobgood, N. & C, miles 55; valuation 4,496.36, Scot land Neck, W. & W., miles 1.05; valua tion C.602.44, Weldon, W. & W., miles 1.20; valuation 21,256.34, Weldon, R, & G., miles 1.88; valuation 571.52. Tho railroad property in Halifax and Enfield will bo assessed this year. The difference in the valuation of the R. & G., and the other roads in the county arises from the fact that the road bed of the R. & G., road has heretofore been exempt from taxation and the total amount of its taxes is divided pro rata in proportion to the number of miles in the several counties and towns. Beginning with this year the bed of this road will be taxed and it is safe to say that its assessed value will not be less than $10,000 per mile, which will add nearly $250,000 to the taxable property of the county, from $15,000 to $20,000 to the taxable property of Weldon, and from $12,000 to $15,000 to the taxable pro perty of the town of Littleton. But this is not all. The Seaboard & Roanoke railroad will this year and every year hereafter pay to the State, Halifax county and the town of Weldon tax on one-fourth of its personal property, such as bonds, &c, and this will also add largely to the taxable property of the county. The amount will not be ascer tained until listed in June next. 'ew adVert ADVERTISEMENTS. K l - i 111 .
