It was an al- most impossible thing, he said, to set a rate of income which would allow both the weaker and stronker ecar- riers to make a suitable income with- out allowing either one or the other of these divisions to have an advan- tage over the other, He explained the bill as having the rallroad commission place an approxi- mate value on all the rallroad prop- erty In the countr yand then to base the income on a certain percentage from the total valuation figure, The rate set as an income rate, based on the total property valuation of the company, was not a guarantee of the sum to be recelved annually by the company but was an approximate re- what is now Manhattan, SURPRISE MR, AND MRS, NELSON | A pleasant surprise party was len-} dered Mr. and Mrs. John Nelson of | | 821 Stanley street last evening at the | total excess profit is divided evenly | home of Mr., and Mrs. Oscar Windish of East street, Mr, and Mrs, Nelson were ‘the recipients of many gifts, among them being a pursedof money | and a bouquet of 30 carnations, A/ large number of friends were present and the evening was spent. in games and music following which refresh- ments were served, turn arrived at after extensive study | of the situation by experts. | In case the income derived by the rallroad s in excess of the rate set by the commission, one-half of the | between the government and the rafl- | rond.
