MS TUX REDUCTION Oi SALTUKE ROUTE Government Addresses Letter Let-ter to State Board of Equalization. Attention of the Utah state board of equalization has been called by the United States railroad administration to the increases in-creases in, the assessed valuations this year on the Salt. Lake Route and the Western Pacific in Utah. The federal authorities ask for the co-operation of the state board in doing what it can to have the taxes paid by the railroads reduced re-duced to a basis that will be just .nd equitable, as compared with the assessment assess-ment of other property in the state. To this letter the board replied yesterday, yester-day, pointing out that the matter has at this time, under the laws of the state, passed beyond the jurisdiction of the board, and stating that therefore the board is helpless in any attempt to render ren-der relief to the government, which must guarantee the expenses of the railroads, including taxes. On the Salt Lake Route the assessed valuation for 1IUS is $18,27001, as compared com-pared with $15,637,505 in 1917. On the Western Paclfin the corresponding figures fig-ures are $5,165,525 for WIS and 54,090,085 for 1917. The letter from the United States railroad rail-road administration is signed by .John Barton Payne, general counsel for the administration. The letter was dated in September. Yesterday's was the first meeting of the board of equalization since the letter was received. It discussed the matter and directed Secretary William Bailey to send a reply. |
