Since 1897 there has been a slow Increase

1902 is still S14, 756,557 less than the assess

been a vast increase, not only in the

The low aggregate assessment OF the

whore the blame Belongs.

Auditor Weston offers as a reason for the
great increase in the states floating debt
the fact thai the revenues have been too
low. This brings him directly to the matter
CT listing the property OF the state for
taxation. On this topic he says:
The primary cause Of the decline OF the
revenues of the state. or rather the failure
of the revenues to respond to expenditures,
has been and is the low assessment of all
species of property throughout the state.
and the escape of much property from
any taxation whatever. The grand assess

in 1898, when IL stood at 1874 133, 124.

Brief History Of the Hotel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon came to this
| city in 1888 from the town Of Seneca.
They sold their eighty-acre farm and
with the proceeds purchased from
Maria Gilman siX-roOm frame build
| ing, located on the site where the New
| Dixon Hotel is now located, the price
paid being $1,000. From the very
beginning their hotel business pros
pered and in 1888 they built an
addition of eight rooms at a cost of
$1,000. In 1893 they added a 24x30,
two-Story building, extending from
the original building to the street. 1t
gave an Increase Of six bed rooms and
an office to the structure, giving 1t
finally the appearance of an hotel.
The original sixrOom building was
separated in 1898 and moved around
to the east and is now known as the
Dixon Hotel Annex. A three-story
brick building, 36X50, was then erected
in it's place. 1t contained twenty-fOur
rooms and cost $4,000. Later the
other part of The frame building was
brick veneered. On April 20, 1903,
| the whole structure was quilted, the
loss being $4,000. The veneered part
of the building was torn down and the
improvements made which added
twenty more rooms.

SCORES MISLEADING
CASUALTY POLICIES
DeCeiving Literature Sent Out by New
Amsterdam Company.

On the ground that it's accident

them which is being sent out is mis-

New Amsterdam Casualty company of
New York that he will revoke the
license of The company, if it does not
cease issuing this style of policy and
does not call in literature and policies

representatives.
The New Amsterdam company is
represented in Milwaukee by the Great
Northern Registry company, with
offices in the Germania building, the
members of this company being j. L..
Hirschman, S. r. Levy and IT. M.
Heller, and it was complaint against
the Great Northern company which
first brought the matter to the
attention of the insurance depart
ment
Copies of the policies and samples of
the literature were passed upon by
Attorney General l.. M. Sturdevant
and each found to be in violation of
the law and misleading.

his letter to Mr.. Host. "The iudem-

black type and conspicuously displayed
at the head of the contract, while the
limitations are in fine print and we'll

The literature purports to give indem-
nifty in case of accident, at the price
of 81 year, when in fact the contract
issued by the company is limited to an
accident happening only. where the
conveyance in which the person is
riding at the time is materially in
jured."
