RAIL VALUATION
A GIGANTIC TASK
\ - r ;*• '
JJO GOVERNMENT HAS EVER ES
SAYED A TASK OF GREAT
ER MAGNITUDE.
TREMENDOUS UNDERTAKING
Bill Requires Commerce Commission
to Ascertain Physical Value
of Every Railroad.
Washington.—The interstate com
merce commission is shortly to enter
upon the biggest piece of work It lias
ever undertaken.
No governmental agency in this
or any other country has ever essayed
a lusk of greater magnitude. The
work ol' a tariff commission is a
schoolboy's problem /in comparison.
This stupendous task is nothing
more nor less than to make a com
l/letc valuation of ail the -public utii-
Jiy property of the United States,
which comcu under tile jurisdiction of
ihe interstate commerce commission,
as provided _ for in the bill of Repre
: tmative Adantson of Georgia.
'IHn- Adatro wr hiH passed the- boutn*
early in the last session. It was sent
over to tlie senate, where a number
of i xperta -of wide experience were
consulted as io the practical diffieul-
t!i b to be overcome in the work which
this measure outlined. After making
verbal changes suggested by their ex
perience in similar lines of work, Sen
ator IjttKollette reported the favora
hie action of the (senate committee to
tlie senate and the bill wan passed.
The measure dots more than re-
Hiiire u physical valuation. It provides
for a complete financial history of ev
eiy piece of property owned by a pub
iic utility corporation and used by it
f|» its business. After litis mass of
innterial, whhh is expected to take
,i Urge force of trained men thr«e or
lour years to dig up, Is collected, it
mum th'n be kept conntantly .op to
dale by the interstate commerce com
mission.
