Assemblyman Potter attempted to in
troduce bill which shall designate by
law that automobiles shall be assessed.
He said under the present law these ma
chimes were not assessed. In Dane county
last year there were only two automo-
biles reported in the county, although
there are more than seventy alone in the
city of Madison. There was so much mis-
understanding regarding the proposed law
that the author asked action upon it be-
deferred.
