B—14 FEEBINE ——— . BAL VALUES Holds Lines of Nation to Be; Worth Today About $21,241,711,081. By the Associated Press. ‘The Nation's railroads were estimated today to be worth at going prices ap- prox¥mately $21,241,711,081. ‘This figure was computed from fig- ures issued by the Valuation Bureau of the Interstate Commerce Commission on which the commission is expected to base its decision in the rate study it| now has under way. The commission 4s considering the question of whether freight rates shall be reduced throughout the country. On their books as of December 31, 1932, the railroads carried a total val- uation of $26,091,310,739. . This figure is slightly less than the original cost of building the roads, including pur- chase of land and working capital as! estimated by the commission. This fig- | ure was $26,232,019,220. ‘The value of the carriers was com- puted on the following basis: Spot prices (current prices of materials) gave a figure of $16,858,547,204 for cost of reproduction less depreciation. To this figure was added $3,032,799,826 cost of land; $338,854,000 for working capital, and 5 per cent as a going value, bring- ing the total to $21,241,711,081. Actual cost of reproducing the rail- roads new was estimated at $23,742,-| 958,869 at current prices. Based on average prices over the period from 1929 to December 31, 1932, | the cost except land would be $23,953,- ! 546,235. | Using the same method of computa- | tlon as that from which the $21,241,- 711,081 figure was derived, it was esti- mated that Eastern railroads are worth approximately $9,789,907,500; Southern railroads, $3,673,841,891, and Western rallroads, $8,555,556,593.
