Michigan Railroads Valued Higher by Cooley Adams Hearing
Professors Cooley and Adams shocked the state board of assessors at the public hearing in Lansing by asserting Michigan railroads are worth 284,710,659 dollars, far above the board’s 207,080,000 valuation. They detailed physical and nonphysical values, cash, and assets, and argued Pere Marquette and Michigan Central are undervalued. The testimony sparked debate on method, with officials noting earnings and cash worth, while other experts presented differing valuations. Separate items report smallpox in Gladstone, and a large fire in Elkton damaging multiple businesses with losses over 23,000 dollars.
