Taxes to Be Raised by Kenosha
County Apportioned Among
the Various Funds
SPECIAL TAX FOR SALEM
Fight on Taxes Will Come When the
County Board Makes Apportionment
Between the City and the Towns.
City Pays Nearly $4,000

county Clerk Russell Jones this
morning received from Secretary Of
State Frear the certificate of the
taxes as apportioned and levied for
kenosha county for the year 1907, and
as given out by the State Tax Com
mission. The taxes to be paid by this
cornty this year will amount to
VA, 4Z6.12. The taxes levied for the
support of the schools constitute the
greater portion of this sum, but the
various state institutions come in for
their full share. The city's share
will amount to something over $40, 900.
and with this large amount to raise
for the state, it is unlikely that it will
be possible to reduce the levy in the
city. This is about three times the
amount paid by the city last year.
This tax will be collected with the
regular city and county taxes, but
the superintendent between the city
and the various towns in the county
will have to be made at the coming
session of the County Board; and
with this large amount to raise the
prospects are good for considerable
difference of opinion among the mem
bers as to the amount each town shall
be called upon to contribute.
In addition to the regular taxes, as
levied, there is special tax against
the town of Salem of $3.50 for money
borrowed from the state to build a
school house in District No. 7.
The money raised for school pur-
poses is apportioned among the
various funds as follows:
Interest on certificates. IS 2,114 43
Free high schools. .......... 1,677 81
Graded schools. $500. 49,. 1910 %
State University. ...... 80. $3.50 65
Normal schools. .... ... 3,086 81
Common schools. ....... 1850 80

The special charges upon the county
for the support of the different state
institutions are as follows:

to The Star representative, 'as general
thing people we come in contact with are
not noted for their gratitude o. appre-
ciativeness of what we do for them but
that sort of spirit is never shown at
Camp Goodwill. From the tniest little
tot to our oldest woman boarder, who is
seventy nine years old, they seem to ap-
preciate what is being done Tor them
here. Look at their faces and you can't
see anything but peace and quiet rest

they help to make it easy for us. Why?
the mothers that we bring out here are
constantly volunteering to go into the

boys had Maud in hand, three of them
on her back and the others prodding her
on her way. Their efforts to increase
her gait were vain. She plodded on

ing the performance, but in i purely
impersonal and unenthusiastic way. AT
another spot a cluster of boys stood about
the japanese pool table. Beyond them
the mothers sat in the shade, some with
babies in their arms others busy with
bit of sewing. Across the way the
swings held their groups of gleeful
youngsters, while from the woods below
came the shouts of party of tree

And why not? Who wouldn't?


Each of the two preceding summers that
the camp has been in operation there have
been one or two youngsters especially dis
tinguished for the celerity and consistency
with which they have followed up one pain

at the camp. This summer is no excep-
ton Soldier Boy" is the name given
the freckled little fellow. now winding up
his two weeks outing, who so far has the
record for number and variety of minor
injuries. The day of his arrival he deter
mined to investigate the working of the
double-bucket apparatus at the we'll, despite
all admonitions to keep away. He leaned
over the ledge and let the bucket drop
downward. The other bucket bounced up
like a Jack int he box and caught the sur
prised youngster on his check. A little
plaster-and he was ready for new adven-
lures.
Observing the children having a hilarious
time in the swings, Soldier Boy wan
dered thIther and placed himself fun in the
path of a downward. rushing swing seat.
He was pretty badly shaken up and re-
tired from active participation in the
amusements of the camp for that day The
next morning he mounted swing himse'i

Uranium. This time the doctor had TO come
to his assistance and for the rest of his
outing "Soldier Boy" has been wearing
circular piece of surgeons plaster over a
shaved spot on top of his head. He stood
his various experiences so manfully and
with such stoicism to entitle him to his
sobriquet
Then there is Walter, who was driving
one of the two horses of the camp down
the road with one of the farm helpers be-
side him. For some reason the beast be-
came frightened and broke into a gallOp.
At the bottom Of the hill was sharp turn
and a little bridge. The horse swung
around the turn. upset the wagon and
spilled its occupants on the turf. Since
then Walter has been forced to walk slowly
and with a temporary limp. He feels a
certain sense of pride in his experience, and
tells each visitor how he was in a runaway
and came near being killed. Won't the boys

fabulous expense. 1t is said to have cost .

eighteenth century. This figure corresponds
with the total output of the Comstock up
to the time when the lower workings were
| abandoned in 1894.
On August -. 1904, the kings tax on
the Valenciana, amounting to the sum OF
$2G4s,sdG, was paid. As this represented

no shafts We're sunk and the production of
ore was reduced to infrequent shipments

toward the surface by the slowly rising

lawlessness that the heavy walls with
