and power must be assessed as an
entirety without elimination in value
on account of easements or interests
therein which have been conveyed to
others, and that such easements or
interests cannot be treated or assessed
to owners thereof as personal property.
If this were not so, if such interests
are to be regarded as personal property
for assessment purposes, then the
assessment of an important item Of
real estate could be transformed into
a great number of items of personal
property assessments, in the various
assessment district. in which the
owners should happen to reside; for if
such interests are personal property
they could be assessed only in the
districts in which the respective
owners reside, and if such owners
were not residents of the state they
could not be assessed at all.
Where an easement in one parcel of
real estate has been so granted as to
become appurtenant to some adjoin-
ing or adjacent parcel of real estate,
there would seem to be no difficulty
in treating the same as an element or
thing of value transferred from one
parcel to the other and in fixing assess
ment values accordingly, as in Spensley
v. Valentine already cited. This
necessarily results from the statutory
provision in section 1895, that ''real
estate shall include" not only the
land itself but all rights and privileges
appertaining thereto" But we have
found no case under our statutes
where an easement in real estate not
appurtenant to some other parcel,
could be assessed as personal property
or where the burden of such easement
coul5 be considered in diminution OF
the value of the Servient estate in the
assessment thereof.

Letter to Mrs. G. Bulgreen.
NEKOOSA, WIS.

Dear Madam: Whether you own
your house or not, is no matter. If
not, your interest in it, as tenant, is
quite enough to justify what we are
going to say, and tenant can make
his interest felt by the owner. You
get better bOarders, and better prices
in prosperous looking house than a
shabby one; and leading part Of the
difference between the two is paint.
No doubt, your table is known; it
brings you boarderS and money. No
doubt, your house is clean; that
brings you bOarderS and money. No
doubt, you maintain certain manner
among your bOarderS by choosing them
well; and that brings you boarderS
and money.
Now add to all these a nice-loOking
house, outside and in, and you have
an additional force upon people, who
have no homes of their own. 1t pays
we'll or i'll to keep boarders, according
as one selects them or has to take
those that come.
We refer to these obvious thoughts
for the sake of advising you how to
paint: Devoe Ready Paint.
This will cost as little as possible,
and last as long as pOSSible-tWice as
long as Old-fashiOn paint, lead and Oil.
Yours truly,
E. w. DEVOE & Co.

Milling company by the instrument
in question has acquired an interest
water company. Such interest is in
the nature of an easement and is
usually so designated. The property
in which such interest or easement is
acquired, the dam and water power Ct
the power company, is real estate. If
such interest or easement were made
appurtenant to some other parcel Of
real estate it would constitute an
element Of value in such other parcel
to be taken into consideration in the
assessment thereof, as in Spensley V.
Valentine cited above. And in such
case there would have to be cor
responding elimination in the valua-
tion of the servient estate upon which
the easement is imposed. But if not
so appurtenant, if it is an easement in
groSs-a mere personal right-there
appears to be no reason WHY it should
not be included in the assessment OF
such dam and water power as part
interest in a single item of real estate
Suppose for instance that the entire
amount of water and water power
of this dam were parceled out tC
Sundry persons, in the same manner
that fraction thereof has been con

hold that the several interests were

wise there would be double taxation
once as an entirety as real estate
comprising the dam and water power
plant and again in sundry items O.
personal property to the respective
owners of the personal rights to whom
it has been parceled out in the case
supposed. This certainly cannot b.
the law; and we consider it fairly
i clear that the courts will never hold
under present legislation, that TIT
real estate must be exempted in whole
or in part in order to render tn,
several easements in gross assessablt
as personal property. The true ruiz
must be that the real estate Of the dan
