ADJUD1CATING COUNTY AFFAIRS.

Commissioners Agree on a Division of
Oneida, Iron and Villas Counties.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 11.-By chapter
$50, of the laws of 1893, the county of
Villas was created out of Oneida County
and four towns in Oneida County were
made part of Iron County, which was
also created by the same legislature.
Under this law the Governor appointed
three commissioners, A. r. Bushnell, of
Madison; Paul D. Carpenter, of Mil
waukee, and Joseph T. Huntington, of
Delton, to affect a settlement between
Oneida County and the detached por-
tons. That commission has made it's
report to the governor. 1t concludes
its review of the state of affairs found
as follows:
We find the assessed and equalized valu-
alton of Oneida County, as shown by the
records in the office of the county clerk, to
be in 1892 s., 945, 1873. We find the assessed
and equalized valuation of the several parts,
as divided by chapter $50, laws Of 1898, to
be as follows: Oneida County, 81, 736, 1854;
Villas County, 81, 153, 724; four towns at
tached to Iron County, $54,545. We
to be the as Peons Oneida Gt Va coan
1897 per cent; Villas County, 1917 per
cent; Iron County, 1.85 per cent. We find
the assets of Oneida County, before divis-
ion, to be $55, 524 .02 and the liabilities $27;-
23l.50. We decide that Oneida County
shall receive 1897 per cent. of the assets and
pay this per cent of the liabilities; Villas
County shall receive 1917 per cent. Of the
assets and pay this per cent. Of the liza
bilities; Iron County shall receive 1.85
per cent. of the assets and pay 1.S5
per cent. of the liabilities. At the close of
business on April IA, 1885, Oneida County
owed the state of Wisconsin S., S63.70,
which is apportioned among the three
counties on the same basis as above, Oneida
County to pay So, 45S.17; Villas County to
pay So, 297 .O4, and Iron County 10S.49.
The final results are as follows: Oneida
County pays to Villas County 81, 364:12 and
conveys to her l. 541. 20 acres of tax title lands
at so cents per acre, $1,000 and assigns to
her tax certificates to the amount
of $4,94s.5S. Oneida County will pay
to Iron County 1923, conveys to her eighty
acres of tax title lands at so cents per acre,
$40, and assigns to her tax certificates to the
amount of $4l4.22. The town of Eagle
River pays to the town Of Pelican $396.2S;
the town of Minocqua pays to the town of
Hazelhurst 1897 and to the town Of Vaughn

to church for an unworthy motive; to
