Madison, Jan. 27.
The Wisconsin state board of health
adopted resolutions yesterday after.
noon cooperating with the Wisconsin
tuberculosis commission il recommend
ing to the legislature the establish
ment by the state of an additional
state eleemosynary institution, to be
known as the state hospital for those
afflicted with tuberculosis. The last
legislature provided for commission
and an investigation of this matter,
and the commission reported in favor
OF the founding of the institution. The
appropriation suggested two years ago
for such institution was 100000 but
the board Of health at it's meeting yes
terday did not take specific action on
the amount of appropriation required.
The board of health also adopted a
resolution recommending to the legi5-
lature change of the laws for the col,
lection of vital statistics, so as to have
a better enforcement and have the sta
tistics indexed and tabulated. The law
proposed is approved by the federal
census bureau and the American Pub.
tic Health association. This would
involve an additional appropriation OF
some $1,000 year. Four members or
the board were present: DIR. William
T. Whyte of WATERFOWL, president;
DIR. c. A. Harper of Madison, secre-
tary; DIR. F. C. Suffer of La Crosse.
and DR.. @. o. Sutherland of GAINESVILLE.
The board reelected DR.. Whyte as
Cilnnf CnCpnTortr
over. Drs. Harper, Suffer and Suther-
land were constituted the legislative
committee.
Begins New Assessment.
The state board of assessment yes
terday held the first of the preliminary
hearings on the process of making the
assessment of the railroad property for
1905 under the ad valorem law passed
by the legislature of 1903, being the
second assessment under that law.
The railroads are now testing the first
assessment in the courts. Two rail-
road corporations were represented be-
fore the commission yesterday. W. L.
Tarbet of Chicago, tax commissioner
for the Illinois Central, represented
that road, and S. G. Moon of Eau
Claire. attorney for the Stanley, Mer,
rill and Phillips railroad, appeared for
his company. These hearings were
only preliminary in nature and largely
of technical nature. The hearings con-
tinue from time 10 time until February
II, according to notification given the
corporations affected by circular let
ter sent out by the tax commission.

Madison, Jan. u.
The first suggestion toward shut
ting off new business in the legisla-
ture, looking toward the winding up
of the session, came yesterday in a
joint resolution introduced in the SEN
ate from the joint committee On rules.
providing that new business, except
committee bills, shall cease after Fri
day, February 10. Senator White
head announced that the measure had
been decided upon after the wishes
OF many members had been consulted
and he asked that it be placed upon
its passage at once. Upon the re
quest of Senator Burns, however, the
resolution went over until next week.
The proposed date is about en- days
earlier than usual and the fact that
many members desire it indicates n
disposition to expedite the work of
the session as much as practicable.
New Bills.
Fifteen new bills were introduced.
some of large general importance and
others of local and technical applica-
ton.
Taxation of Mortgages.
Senator Merton introduced mort
cage taxation bill, providing that
mortgages should be made a separate
class of property for the purposes of
taxation, that they should be assess
ed and taxed at the rate of FIVE mills
on the dollar. In order to secure en-
fcrcement the provision is made that
no mortgage which has not been tax
ed in accordance with the law shall
be admitted as evidence in court in
any action to compel payment of the
Indebtedness or foreclose on the Sc
curity. This would invalidate all
untaxed mortgages and would place
the burden Of enforcing the law upon
the mortgager.
