Estimates of cost arc made on two bases, concerning which it issaid: A.—The cost to reproduce the properties today. The figures are based upon what it would cost lo furnish andinstall the materials entering into the construction of the propertiestoday, and in considering these prices it should be borne in mindthat the state of the art is now such that a large amount of thephysical part of the properties, as they exist, could be built nowmuch cheaper than was possible at the time they were built. B.—Present value of the physical property for electrical railwaypurposes. This gives the present values of the physical properties for elec-trical railway purposes so far as I am able to estimate them. In de-ducing this it has been necessary to take into consideration the factthat the cable systems complete, exclusive of track, real estate
