tolephono and express companies.
The duty of making the valuation is
placed In the hands of the state rail

that of tho corporations which come
under the law on July 1, 1909. Tho
bill ' provides that the valuation of
railroads shall Include: Tho value

grading. Tho value of bridges, cul
verts, wator stations and liko struc
tures on tho right-of-way. The

commission is allowed to employ the
necessary expert anticlerical help by

A fine of between $100 and $10,000
is fixed for failure to comply with
tho law. Provision is made for re
vising the valuation each year by
reason of new work done and old
