<DIV>Harry,</DIV>

<DIV>You should know that first impressions are the best. You should have
stayed with the ICC.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Congress in 1913 passed the Valuation Act requiring the ICC to
determine the valuation of each railroad. Of course, the railroads had to
do the coolie work of counting each rail joint, hammer, cuspidor, etc. As
the work dragged on for years, far longer than the Government anticipated, the
ICC struggled to make sense of the mountain of statistical data, and the
valuation work cost the railroads probably something like a half a billion
dollars in today's money.</DIV>
