Railroads Plea To Maintain 1901 Assessments Before State Board
Indiana railroad representatives urged the State Tax Commissioners to keep current assessments intact, arguing real estate values should not trigger higher railway levies while acknowledging a need for unified evaluation. They pressed reductions for the Vandalia and Eel River lines and noted the Four railways have long faced overassessment. The board planned executive session to review figures and determine proper property valuations.
