PROPERTY VALUATION OF CIRCUITS
SOME NEW LIGHT ON POPULATION

At meeting Of the Manitowoc attor-
neys held on Tuesday afternoon in the
Municipal court room to consider the
proposed division Of the Fourth judicial
circuit, Judge Isaac Crate the chair
man, was empowered to appoint II com
mittee to watch the interets of Mantle
woo in any bill before the legislature.
A bill has been introduced into the
legislature by Assemblyman Katz OF
Fond du Lac making Fond du Lac and
Sheboygan one circuit and Manitowoc
and Kewaunee as anothercircuit. This
| division, however, was put i'll as an ex-
pedient that is to say, it was submitted
TO the legislature so that the question Of
relief for this judicial circuit could be
entertained. AT the time the bill was
entered the time limit for submitting
them had nearly expired
Five Plans Proposed.
At present there are five plans pro
posed for forming a new circuit as fol-
lows: Plan No. provides for the plac
ing of Fond du Lac county in a circuit
with Calumet and Washington counties.
by this plan they would have the boun-
diaries of the Third circuit so changed
that it would consist of Winnebago,
Green Lake and Marquette counties, in
stead of Winnebago, Green Lake and
Calumet counties, as at present. Plan
No. is for q circuit which shall include
Fond du Lac, Ozaukee and Washington
rict which shall include Fond du Lac,
Green Lake and Washington counties.
BY this plan it is intended to substitute
Manitowoc for Green Lake in the Third
circuit. This same substitution holds
good with reference to plan No 4,
which provides for a fourth circuit,
4reen Lake, Washington and Marquette
ounties. Plan No. provides for a
district which shall consist of Fond du
Lac, Calumet OZaukee and Washington
ounties.

nent of the Judiciary committee of the
legislature, and seeing that some attor-
.eys in Oconto and Marinette desire the
ormation of q new circuit mainly cary
