RAILROAD TAX Is FIXED.
More Than Year Ago-Test
Case Pending.

MADISON, Wis, Oct. 9.-[Special]
The state tax commission announces
the final assessments for the railroads of
Wisconsin under the ad valorem tax law
to be total of $228, $4,000. The total
tax is $3.50, 29O.66. The valuation of
the North Western railroad is $74,5OO,-
600 with a tax Of $s39,s11; valuation
100000, tax $3.50, 1920; Wisconsin
Central, So, 100000, and $247, 991: sS;
500, $S,S0O,0O0 and 500, 1915. The
total increase in valuation is $40, 1856, 100.
Last year this rate of taxation was
found by the tax comission to be $11.44
plus per $1,000 of valuation, while this
year it has been found to be $11.27 plus.
The total taxes of the railroad property
for this year is fixed at $2,579, 290.66,
