Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
With reference to the claims for
rebate in taxes referred to me at your
last meeting ! submit the following
report:
In the claim of Fred Kruger for
$12. 40 rebate will say that I find no
error of the assessor in this case in
placing valuation on the above
mentioned property, 1t being approx
mately in proportion to other valua-
tions in that vicinity.
would therefore recommend that
the same be disallowed.
In the claim of J. G. Bell for 81. rs
rebate on personal property tax will
say that under R. S. 1861 and Oh.
2S4 Laws 'O3. OF Wis. That any
such objections as to personal property
taxes must be presented to the Board
of Review and there settled. I re-
commend therefore that this claim be
disallowed.
In the claim of B. N kshennerg
for rebate of So. 80. find that the
valuation on this property to be $500.
for improvements. This is an error
for there is no buildings on said Lot
rs have looked same over personally.
Under r. S. 925-145 stating when it
shall be unlawful for the Council to
remit. annual, or cancel any tax find
the following exception under par. 2
"When improvements on Lots were
considered in making the assessment
roll, when the improvements did not
exist at the time fixed by Law for
making the assessment. -
This case therefore would come
under said law as there are no i'm
provements on same at this time. l
recommend therefore that this claim
be allowed.

Young Wives Of Limited Means Should
start Slowly.
One OF the most frequent mistakes
made by young wives" said matron
known for her sensible advice on top
les Of the household, lis that Of filing
the house with furniture at the outset
Of their married life.
'"They like to feel that their friends
find nothing wanting, and they forget
that starting out with too full an equip
ment, they must necessarily keep that
unchanged for several years. There is
no room to add new things, and to dis
pose Of old furniture that is not worn
out Is serious loss. The proper thing
to do is to start out with just enough
to be comfortable.
From time to time little things may
b. added as they are found necessary.
In that way one never feels like a
back number. At the same time one
does not have to turn everything topsy
turvy In order to be up to date. An
other important thing in this connec-
ton 10 to resist the temptation, fire.
