| ||||||
22 | Sec. 11-15. Method of valuation for pollution control | ||||||
23 | facilities. To
determine 33 1/3% of the fair cash value of any | ||||||
24 | certified pollution control
facilities in assessing those | ||||||
25 | facilities, the Department shall take into
consideration the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | actual or probable net earnings attributable to the
facilities | ||||||
2 | in question, capitalized on the basis of their productive | ||||||
3 | earning
value to their owner; the probable net value which | ||||||

with the principles set forth in this | ||||||
10 | Section. For the purposes of this Code,
earnings shall be | ||||||
11 | attributed to a pollution control facility only to the extent
| ||||||
12 | that its operation results in the production of a commercially | ||||||
13 | saleable
by-product or increases the production or reduces the | ||||||
14 | production costs of the
products or services otherwise sold by | ||||||
15 | the owner of such facility.
