NEAR TO TRUE VALUE
Examination Of Assessors Books
Shows That Bidders Seek to
Make Money off Government
ASSESS PROPOSED SITES LOW

It is evident that the people of Ke-
nosha believe that the government
is rich and that for this reason should
put up a big price for site for a
public building In enosha or that
the assessors of las city fail to see
the value Of real estate in the city
at the correct figures for an examina-
ton of the bids recently made to the
government and com parison with
the values set by the assessors show
that there is vast difference. 1t was
naturally expected that the govern
ment would be asked to pay full value
but in some cases the amount asked
the government is several times the
assessed value of the property as
placed by the assessors.
The agents of the government are
expected to come to Kenosha in the
very near future and it is probable
that before any bids are accepted the
agents will look over the books of the
assessors to see just what the value of
the property offered is The examina-
ton will show the following figures:
The Meyers block on Market street
which has been offered to the govern
ment for Sos, 900, is assessed by the
city assessors at $34, 500. The proper
ty owned by z. G. Simmons at the
corner of Market and Chicago streets,
said TO be offered at SIS, O0O, is assessed
lat 81, 500. The Ki1een property at the
corner of Congress and Elizabeth
streets offered at SIS, 500 is assessed at
So, $50. The VanIngen property on
Park avenue is assessed at 81, 500 and
it is offered to the government at $16,-
600. The Hansen property at the cor
ner OF Main and South streets, whose
value to the government was estimat-
ed at $4,000, is valued by the assess
ors at $11, 300. The last piece on the
list is that owned by Margaret King
Grant at the corner of Prairie and
Ashland avenues. 1t was offered at
S11, 500 aud is valued by the assessors
at $500.
With such values placed on the
property it is exceedingly doubtful
as to whether the government will ac-
cept any bids that have been offered
and all may be rejected and new bids
asked for in order that they may in
some manner be in keeping with the
real values. When the agents have in
spected the property they will make
their report to the supervising arclli-
tects and after this report is made the
government will be in position to
ask for new bids or to accept some Of
the present bids.

SHOWS WAY
Tax Payers Not Satisfied With
Assessment Return Complaint
to State Commission
OFFICERS TO SHOW CAUSE

Tax payers of Kenosha city and
county who have felt the burden Of
an unequal assessment as a result of
the figures returned by the assessors
this year have been given an example
to follow by tax payers Of Racine
county placed IN a similar position as
these tax payers have appealed to the
state tax commission asking that the
wrongs be righted and that If it is
deemed necessary to right the wrongs,
the state tax commission demand a
new assessment of the property of
Racine city and county. Mayor Mel
son and City Clerk Armstrong have
been directed to appear before @the
state tax commission and show cause
why new assessment should not be
ordered. In the complaint the tax
payers declared that property was
assessed at an inequitable value and
that the assessors had made no effort
to tax certain personal property held
by Racine residents The hearing Of
the matter is set for August % and
the action of the commission will un-
doubted1y be watched with great
interest by people in all parts of the
state.
The assessors of Kenosha county
have not as yet concluded their work
but it is expected that the books will
be turned over to the city clerk with
in the next few days and after this
action has been taken the tax payers
will be in a position to act. Super
visor Of Assessments William H. Har-
rison, of Randall, has corresponded
with the state commission and the
commission has notified him that they
will be ready to take up the matter Of
a re-assessment of the property ia
Kenosha if complaint is made by
any individual tax payer. 1t is not
thought that it will be a difficult
matter to find the tax payer IN ques-
ton as many people in the city are
convinced that the assessment here
should be reviewed by the state com
mission. On account Of the great ex-
pense Of re-assessnent of the
property of the city Mr.. Harrison has
hesitated to make this demand him
self but complaints are becoming so I
numerous that it is thought he will |
find it necessary to act. The lists Of |
personal assessments are now nearly |
all in and they will be made public
within a few days.

LifeIess Remains Of Frank King
man Found in a Spring on
His Farm Wednesday
DIED WITH HEART DISEASE
Deceased Was Born and Raised in he
Town Of Salem and Had Been
Active Il the Affa5 RS Of the
Town and County

The town of Salem, and in fact the
entire county, was shocked Wednes-
day afternoon when it was reported
that the 1ifeless remains of Frank
Kingmarl, one of the best known farm
ers of the town, had been found in
the big spring southeast Of the barn
on the Kingman farm. The manner
of the death of the well k.Hywn farmer
and politician is shrohded IN mystery
but it is thought that he had gone
to the spring to get drink and while
kneeling over the water he was
seized with heart disease and died.
the lifeless remains falling into the
water. Physicians who examined
the remains later in the afternoon
stated that it was evident that Mr..
Kingman had not died from drown
ing.
Mr.. Kingman had been ia bad
health for some time and several
times during the last few months he
had been seized with heart disease
and dizziness. On Wednesday, how
ever, he seemed to be ia good spirits
and he had been about the farm DUR
ing the morning and had eaten a
hearty dinner at noon. Just after
dinner as was his custom Mr.. King
man walked down to get drink.
His dog trotted along after him and
boy who had been playing about the
spring noticed him go to the spring
and drink. The boy thought nothing
more of the incident. A few minutes
later the attention of the boy was at
tracted by the bowling of the dog and
going to the spring the boy discovered
that the faithful animal was attempt
ing to give warning Of the peril Of his
master. The body Of Kingnan was
then immersed in the water. AS soon
as possible the men about the farm
were summoned and the body was
soon removed from the spring and
taken to the house.
Efforts to revive the man were fu-
tile, and physicians who were SUM
moned declared thai he had died IN
stantly from heart disease. No in
quest over the remains was held.
The spring in which the body was
found is one Of the largest in the
county, and it was used to supply
water for the farm. 1t is stated that
the water in the middle of the spring
is more than forty feet deep, but the
water where the body was found was
comparatively shallow.
The funeral will be held from the
late residence Of the deceased at 2:3C
O'Clock Friday afternoon, and the
interment will be in the Kingman LOT
at the cemetery at Trevor.
The death of Frank Kingman
marks the passing Of man who has
been actively connected with the his.

days in the three cities. This is the
first time in six years that the associa-
ton has not taken a trip following the
annual convention. What was on all
sides termed the finest trip ever plan
ned for the association had been ar
ranged to follow this convention, but
for financial reasons had to be aban-
doned.
About $50 guests enjoyed the elab-

ed his audience by presenting many
facts of history regarding this locality.
Mr.. Meese in introduction said: Il
suppose that when you return to your
homes you will think that you have
met the first people of Rock Island. In
this l must disillusion you. Rock Is
lands first people were the red men.
and they are passed away now" He
went into the history of this part of
the state. very briefly telling of the
cities of the Sacs and Foxes. and OF
their fight to retain possession when
the white men came. He spoke briefly
of the early history of Davenport. and
of Moline and told of the early days OF
Rock Island arsenal. Speaking of
more modern days, he gave a few facts
of business and traffic over the various
bridges, and of the population and in
dustrics of the three cities He CON
cluded by pointing TO the fact that in
reality petty jealousies between the
three cities are vanishing. and the SEN
timent is coming more and more to be
one of unity of interests.

changes were being made on account
of the through st. Paul service he took
this opportunity to pick out two of the
most sensitive conductors running out
of here and tell them that the order
had gone out from the operating de-
partment for such wholesale removal.
The conductors, of course. were greatly
disturbed, and they went home and
told their wives, and that was all that
was necessary.

tear her down." said Mr.. Mulhern, so
it may be judged that if anything is
done at all it will be to bring in more
crews than are taken out. H. w.
Crawford, division freight agent, was
also present, and he made explanation
of his reasons for bringing Superin-
tendent Mulhern here this meeting.
