Railroad Commissioner's Plan to Value Public Utilities
Des Moines reports state railroad commissioner S Ketchum proposes a county by county physical valuation of railroads and public utilities to establish actual construction costs as the tax base. He argues engineers should determine land values and construction costs, replacing current methods and training young engineers in these assessments. He predicts widespread education and better accuracy for public utility valuations.
