"What finally," asked Mr.

it seemd to me therefore that this
work of valuation will be of incidental
benefit to the railway investor and so
to the general public. While this has
not been generally, perhaps not at all
remarked upon as an advdntaze, it
will turn out to be a substantial one.
“To the general apprehension the
object of this valuation is to determine
what rates our railways should be al-
lowed to charge for their services to
the public.
“While the property invested in our
railroads and other public utilities is
private property. the government has.
in consideration of the nature of the
service rendered. the right to impose
upon this property the terms and con-
ditions under which it shall he used.

be of much benefit to know the value

"While this valuation will be of in~
