Excerpt from List of References on Valuation of Steam Railways The Bureau of Railway Economics (Washington, D. C.) has attempted to limit this List of References on Valuation of Railways strictly to the economic aspects of the valuation of steam railways, the Bureau has found it necessary to exclude all but the more striking literature relating to the valuation of such other public utilities. It was deemed inexpedient to search law cases for literature on the legal principles of valuation, this being a field rather for the lawyer than the librarian. For similar reasons technical treatises of interest to the valuation engineer will not be found in the list. There are some subjects which do not seem to be separately treated in books or magazines. The few references given do not exhaust the literature on these subjects, but further discussion will be found in the literature on more general subjects. Though the list is not intended to be analytical, notes will be found under certain subjects which do not seem to have been treated at all in separate books or magazines. On account of the importance of the subject of Depreciation, material will be found included which may be questioned as coming within the scope of this list. The figures which follow the titles, such as 9-18456, represent the Library of Congress printed card numbers by which the cards may be ordered for use in cataloguing. A key to the abbreviations used to indicate the libraries where the literature may be consulted given. Not. - This compilation will not be reprinted in the Annual Volume of the Proceedings.
