The following preamble and reso-
luton was presented by the Conn
mittee on Assessment.
To the C0vnty Board Of .SzzpsraG0rS
OF Ke@OsA0 County, tV4s.
GENrLEMEN:--In examination OF
the assessment of the several towns
in the County as returned by the |
assessor of the several towns, there |
are errors that suggest a manifest
injustice to some of the towns in the
valuation of personal property.
We, your committee after due con-
sideration of the matter, would
respectfully suggest that iU our
Judgment no better way to remedy
fthe difficulties can be devised than
\ that a Board of Assessors be formed
:: comprising the assessors of the
several towns, and that said board
adjust the personal property upon
avn equitable basis.
In our judgment, the COWS, sheep,
swine, wagons and carriages and the
several items as required by law to
DE enumerated be graded as to price
as a basis of assessment in the
? k,seweSal'tOw
That unless there is some plan
: l.Gevised whereby this class of pro-
s 2.perty is equalized asFnearly as pos
9-sible, that the County Board will be
: 1sunder the necessity of acting for the
3>seueraI towns as the adjusters OIL
Sthe assessment of said towns.
A We therefore respectfully recon-.
$ amend that this Board pass some
f resolutions requesting the several
, flown Boards to take this matter
, Unto consideration, and that they in
! 4sist that the several assessors com
ply with the suggestion heretofore
g made.
e present the following resolution:
: Resolved, that this Board respect
e fully ask the several Town Boards
within the county to, in so far as is
possible, instruct the several assess
ors relative to the subject matter
: heretofore recited to the end that a
] Board of Assessors in the several
f towns be organized to adjust the.
t values of such items of personal
property as are enumerated in the
= assessment law, of the State of Wis
t cOnsin, upon a just and equitable
basis, thereby doing justice to the
several towns and relieve the Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors of annoy
ance of descripances that confront
them at every meeting of the County
Board in adjustment of the assess
ment of the county said meeting to
be held at the Court House in the
City of Kenosha on the sd Friday
in April, A. D. 1891.
