To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No property can ever have a physical value equal to its first cost, that is, basing the prices on those originally paid, but starts to deteriorate and wear out the minute it is installed, and as it can never have repairs or renewals applied all at the same time, there is always some part in disrepair to a greater or less degree. In Chicago this condi- tion has been recognized by the Board of Supervising Engineers of the traction systems, and the board states that after rehabili- tating the enti...re properties, they shall be maintained at 85 per cent of their original cost to construct. This percentage is about as high as it is fair to require a public utility property to be main- tained. As this book is written about valuations and not from the bookkeeping standpoint, it is the second or practical definitioii of dejjreciation that will be made use of. DEPRECIATION 149 The truth is that the subject of depreciation and proper cliarges therefor, correct basis for calculating, and incidentally tlu; han- dhng of the bookkeeping end have not been given due considera- tion in the past, and have, in fact, but recently been brought seriously to the attention of cor]iorations.
