That a few changes were made in 1904 was to have been expected; that
these forms were almost in their entirety made a basis for the similar
work of the Wisconsin appraiser, some three years later, was in the
nature of a high compliment and goes far toward answering the criticisms
of this part of the work, generally to the effect that the forms call
for much more information than could possibly be used, and that they
show lack of care in arrangement.
It may be said here, properly, that the uncertainty as to the final
attitude of the companies made it essential that the appraiser prepare,
if need be, to make his inventory by personal inspection in the field.
Indeed, this was done in the case of several roads, and, while most of
the companies finally accorded every courtesy, either giving the
appraiser access to their records, or furnishing the information
desired, it is not probable that the shortness of the time limit would
have enabled the appraiser to secure any sort of result had a modified
plan been adopted.
