Stories of poverty plea at Indiana railroad equalization session
Representatives from several Indiana railroad companies testified before the state board of equalization about steep assessments. Judge Williamson for Nickel Plate described the line through Fort Wayne as having little value beyond right of way and estimated construction cost at ten thousand dollars per mile. R Bell for White Water noted last year’s earnings of ninety five thousand dollars against expenses of ninety thousand, arguing the company could not sustain higher assessments. Bell also argued the Fort Wayne Cincinnati and Louisville line has barely covered seven thousand dollars annual interest. John H Baker for Lake Shore and Michigan Southern said main line assessments were fair but the Fort Wayne branch too high.
