81, 46O, 593, but ia adjusting the basis
for future taxation Marshield was not
called upon to pay taxes on one-half
the amount that her own assessor
returns upon the assessment rolls.
One half of her total assessment
would be in round numbers 81, ,230, 900,
whereas she is only asked to pay taxes
on sl,l50, 900. Compare this with
Grand Rapids. Our assessment rolls
this year show 1883, 994 of real and
personal property. One half that
amount would be 1926, ,997, but this
committee that the News charges with
discriminating against Marshfeld,
fixes our appOrtionment at sos. .O03
more than half of the assessors returns
or at S995,000, while Marshfield gets
off at about 100000 less than half of
what her assessor returns. And right
here we want to state that Marshfield
is the only town or city in the county
whose apportionment is less than half
u ico SOoli dSSCOSCu Ndluc. Is lU duy
wonder that Mr.. Vedder, the member
OF the committee from MarShfield
should feel that he had worked very
successfully for the interests of his
city? In the light of the above show
ing Marshtield certainly has no ground
for complaint, and if that city should
be so foolish as to ask the court to ap-
point commissioners to readjust values
as fixed by the equalization committee
of the county board, the chances are
that she would be called upon to pay
taxes on much larger sum than is
now required of her.
The hope expressed by Editor
Paulus that the two ends of the
county might live in peace and a spirit
of fairness prevail between the two
sections, can be easily realized if a
few ambitious and mischief-loving
malContentS like himself would only
put reasonable curb on their
natural propenSities.

The New Potato Warehouse on the West
Side Now Open for Business.

E. NJ. Copps & Co.'S. new potato
warehouse is all enclosed and Ben
Hanson, their representative here, is
buying and storing all kinds of farm
produce in it, although the interior
is not yet quite finished.
The building is 40XS0 feet in
dimensions, with 7-foot stone base
ment and 14-foot superstructure of
brick, consisting of 14-inch, wall
with 2-inch air space. The interior
OF the warehouse is Sheeted with
inch lumber II feet high leaving a
SiX-inch hot air space between the
sheeting and outer walls. Very large
stoves in the basement furnish a drv
heat which is conveyed to the ware
house above by this hot air space
above mentioned, thus keeping frost
from entering the building through
the walls. The roof is constructed of
inch lumber, over which is layer of
building paper, then an inch air space,
ABOVE which is second layer of well
matched inch lumber which is
covered with asbestos roofing paper.
,Ihe capacity of the warehouse
including the basement Is estimated
at 40 car loads of 500 bushels each.
The office is in the northwest corner
of the building and just north of the
warehouse on the right of way a set
of scales is being put in to accom-
modate customers. The whole cost
of the structure will be $500.
The company expects to buy nearly
everything in the line of farm pro-
duce excepting hay-beans, peas,
potatoes. beets, cabbage, onions, etc.
1t will furnish a cash market for
farmers in the locality for nearly
everything that grows on their
farms and can but be a help to the
trade of the city.

Musical Treat in Church,

The musical service at the First
Congregational church on Sunday
evening was great treat. The
choristers must have felt inspired by
the select audience which filed the
auditorium. They certainly sang
better than we have ever heard them,
the various voices blending together
beautifully and producing a fine effect.
The music TOO was choice and was
greatly enjoyed by the audience. The
serves the highest praise for his work
in these services and we are glad to
see the people appreciate his efforts to
refine and cheer life by music. Miss
Philleo accompanied all the pieces
with fine feeling and taste. Orson
Cochran in his solo on the piano sur
prised the audience by his indepen-
dence of sight.
