WOULD DIVIDE TAX
Bill Providing for Cities Receiv.
ing Part Of Railway Tax Pro-
posed to the Legislature
STRONG SUPPORT IN STATE

A bill is to be introduced in the
legislature, framed IN many respects
like the law covering the payment to
towns, cities and villages of tax col
lected upon street car and other SER
vice corporation property, and which
will give to each city and county
proportion of the tax collected upon
the property Of the railwayacorpora
tons of the state. Senator Randolph
is framing such a bill, its purpose be-
ing to benefit each locality where the
railways have extensive holdings in
the nature Of terminals, elevators,
warehouses and other property in ex-
cess of the right of way and depot
grounds. The bill will differ in many
essentials from the measure intro
duced two years ago by Senator Hud-
nail, and which was known as the
railway terminal bill. The measure
providing for the separate assessment
and taxation of terminal property of
the various roads, and a return by the
state of the tax so collected to the
cities wherein the terminals were To-
Gated. Senator Randolph proposes
to draft a general bill under the pro-
visions of which every town, village
and city containing rai1way0property
of whatever description will receive
a proportion of the tax, based upon
the value of such property in such
taxing district. The assessment is
to be made by the state board and the
proportion Of the tax each locality is
entitled to is to be determined by the
board.
1t is believed that this plan wifi ap4
peal to many of the members who op-
posed the terminal tax bill, because it
will secure distribution generally of
the railway taxes, while the terminal
bill only benefited points where the
companies had extensive properties.
Senator Randolph will strongly adj
vocate the passage of the bill, and
will be supported by number of the
members who believe that local points
should have the benefit of taxes levied
upon property wholly within the
jurisdiction of towns and cities.
The measure will be opposed by
those who believe that its enactment
would seriously complicate the work
of the tax commission and the conten-
ton is made that while the plan of
proportionate distribution of the
taxes derived from compa MES of
limited mileage, such as the utter
urban lines, may be practicable, when
applied to the property of the steam
roads, there are serious difficulties to
be overcome.

Annual Report Of Money Order
Department Shows Increase
of Thirty Per Cent
TO BE FIRST CLASS OFFICE
Great Growth in the Business of the
Kenosha Office During the Past
Few Years Warrants Change
in Its Classification

Assistant Postmaster Charles 3.
Reinardy has completed his work Of
making out the annual report of the
Money Order department of the Ke-
nosha postofice, and the report shows
such great advance in business DUR
ing the year 1906 that it seems certain
that when the new fiscal year opens
with the first of next July, the Keno
sha postofice will be changed from a
second to first class Office. It is
claimed that the money order bust
ness done in Kenosha in the year just
closed will make it possible for Keno
sha to rank as one of the five best
paying Offices in the State of Wiscon-
sin. While the amount of money ham
died by the Kenosha department is
not as large as that in Racine, in pro-
portion to population the report from
Kenosha shows that the Kenosha Of
fee is doing more business than the
Racine Office.
The report shows that the grand
total Of money. orders issued in the
city during the year amounted to
$218, 886.O3, of which $153, 4o3. AZ were
domestic orders, and $500 81 we're
foreign orders. The total number Of
domestic orders issued was To- ITS. Of
this number 10, 800 were issued at the
main Office, 1923 at the first station,
2, 10Y at the second station, and 1870
al the third station. There were 2,256
foreign money orders issued at the
main office. The amount of the do
mestic orders issued at the main office
was $92, and the amount of
those issued at the stations was
$60,864. The amount of the inter-
national money orders from the main
Office was SOS, 392.61.
The total amount of the money or
ders paid by the Kenosha Office was
$78, 1887. of which 500, 45O.O1 were on
international orders and SAG, 26o. SO
were domestic orders. There we're
but SO international orders paid at the
local Office, while the number of do
mestic orders paid at the Office was
5000. 1t is a remarkable fact that
fully two-thirds of the 1925 domestic
orders issued we're made payable to
some of the mail order houses in Chi
cago and other cities. This shows
the great amount of trade that these
mail order houses are securing from
Kenosha annually.
The total number of fees collected
by the Money Order department DUR
ing the year was $1,189.89, of which
$712.22 was for domestic orders and
$477.67 was for foreign orders
If the report shall be sufficient to
place Kenosha in the first class post
Offices, there will be many changes
made. The change in the class of the
Office will affect not only the salary of
the postmaster, but the clerks will re-
ceive better pay and they will have
more help in their work. For some
time Kenosha has been close to the
line of the first class postofices, and
the present managers of the office be-
lieve that the city will certainly Sc
cure the change in class this year.
The report of the Money Order de-
partment alone shows an increase Of
more than 80 per cent over last year,
and the increase in the sales of
stamps has been almost as large.

Announcement has been made of
the approaching marriage of Miss
Marge Quirk, of Racine, we'll known
in Kenosha, and Ray lie Court, Of
Chicago. The wedding will take
place in the near future.
Mi1kmen, as well as the rural mail
men, are having their troubles with
the rough country roads. Joseph
Rose, of Somers, who runs a milk
route, broke two wagons the same
day last week.
The increase of rates on box rental
at the postofice has had a decided
tendency to decrease the number Of
boxes in use. Nearly ten per cent of
those rented last quarter have been
discontinued on account of the raise.
The Parker Transfer Co. has added
splendid new station wagon to its
equipment, and the wagon will take
the place of the bus in making the
trips from the hotels to the railway
station. The new wagon is the finest
conveyance of the kind ever seen in
Kenosha.
