The Register of Deeds has just com
pleted a compilation of the real estate
transactions in Vernon county during
the past year, which is to be transmitted
to the state authorities. From it ths
CENSOR is permitted to CLEAN a few
facts. We find that in village and city
lots the sales were 139, the deed consid
Grafton $50, 42S; assessed valuation $16,
060. In farm lands there were sales Of
20, $50 acres; consideration as giver
in the deeds 1891, 009, on which assessors
placed the value at $50, 05S. Thus il
will be ascertained that the selling prict
of these lands and lots is about foul
times as great as the value fixed by tn,
assessors.
