Professor Mortimer E. Cooley Appraiser of Properties. Immediately
thereafter the general organization was mapped out along the following
lines of division of labor and responsibility:
_1.—Administration._—All matters of general policy in regard to the
conduct of the work, all matters relating to negotiations and
conferences with officials of corporations, all transactions with the
State Tax Commission, the Governor, or the Board of State Auditors, and
the entire direction of all relations with the public through newspapers
and other channels, were retained by the appraiser, who was the final
arbiter on all matters referred to him regarding the details of the
work.
_2.—Civil Engineering._—The appraisal of all property which in the
course of construction would fall under the supervision of the civil
engineering department of a road, including land, roadway, bridges, and
structures, was in charge of the writer.
_3.—Mechanical Engineering._—The appraisal of all motive power, rolling
stock, and property which in the course of construction would fall under
the supervision of the mechanical engineer, including power and electric
plants, shop tools and machinery, water stations, etc., was in charge of
Mr. Theodore H. Hinchman, Jr., of Detroit, Mich.
In the matter of the final assembling of figures, computation of
percentage values, and compilation of final results, Mr. Hinchman and
the writer worked together with joint general supervision.
_4.—Telegraphs._—The inspection and appraisal of all telegraph
properties was under charge of Mr. William S. Conant, of Detroit, Mich.
_5.—Telephones._—The appraisal of all telephone properties was directed
by Mr. William J. Rice, of New York.
_6.—Vessel Properties._—All vessels belonging to companies whose
property was involved by the appraisal were inspected and appraised by
Herbert C. Sadler, Professor of Naval Architecture and Marine
Engineering at the University of Michigan.
In the following narrative, no special mention is made of the work
executed under the direction of Messrs. Conant, Rice, and Sadler,
because they really had charge of independent appraisals which were
conducted on lines similar to those adopted in the railroad appraisal,
and their methods were not different from those of the latter; hence any
description of their work would be in a large measure repetition. This
omission is in no wise to be construed as any reflection on the
importance or high character of their work.
The organization as just outlined, while necessarily touching and
overlapping at points, was generally defined so clearly that there was
no duplication of work. Each head of department was responsible for the
work of his special division, and directed the laying out and execution
of the work done by his men.
The first task, after deciding on the general organization, was to
determine the general methods to be adopted and the manner of getting
the necessary detailed information. The magnitude of the work was
appalling. There were seventy-eight different incorporated companies,
owning some 10,000 miles of railroad, scattered over 54,000 sq. miles of
territory. In addition, there were a number of small unincorporated
railroads, telegraph, telephone, plank road, and other corporations,
many of which had no records, no complete inventory, and no department
organized so that the information could be readily secured. It was
determined:
(1) To make or secure a complete detailed inventory of every
piece or parcel of property belonging to each company;
(2) To examine each separate thing, place on it an estimate of
cost of reproduction and depreciation;
(3) To prepare, as a basis for the final figure of value,
an estimate of the present value, being the cost of
reproduction less the depreciation.
Having determined on a detailed physical inventory and appraisal, the
next step was to outline the work so as to secure absolute uniformity.
The difficulties which confronted the appraiser at this period were
many, chief among which were:
(a) _Lack of Complete Understanding on the Part of the State
Officials._—The Governor and Board of Tax Commissioners rendered every
possible assistance, but the Board of State Auditors was not at first
fully committed to the work, and the uncertainty as to whether or not
bills would be paid, delayed seriously the employment of men and the
full commencement of work for 3 or 4 weeks after the first organization
was made.
(b) _The Attitude of the Railroad Corporation Managers._—While this was
not actively hostile, it was a serious cause of delay, as they could not
foresee what effect the work might have on the interests in their
charge, and, while not refusing access to their records, they delayed
and held back information; in fact, a long time elapsed before all the
companies opened their records to the appraiser and his staff.
(c) _The Confused Condition of the Records._ Many small corporations had
absolutely nothing in the way of records of buildings, bridges, land, or
other properties. Others had very complete records in certain
departments and very imperfect ones in others; still others had records
which had every appearance of being complete, but they were not
up-to-date.
Facing an appraisal of this magnitude, with a time limit of only 4
months for the entire work, with delays at the outset which seriously
hampered the organization for 2 or 3 weeks, the appraiser was compelled
to occupy this time in preparing the blank forms to be used on the work,
and in conducting correspondence with the men who were to make up the
working force, investigating their references, etc.
The blank forms, Figs. 1 to 10, were the result of a series of
conferences between the members of the staff. By this time it was quite
evident that no great amount of help could be hoped for from the
corporations. Had it been possible to secure access to the records of
such railroad companies as the Michigan Central or the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern before the final drafts of the forms were prepared,
the writer believes that several might have been simplified and many
improvements could have been made. However, this was not possible, and
the forms were prepared and printed before access to any railroad office
had been granted.
