reason why they should not have been

case of its being impossible to collect

Supervisor of Assessments Dali
ton is Satisfied With Assess
ment Of County
STANDS HIGH IN WISCONSIN
Assessors He Declares Have Done Their
Duty and That While Errors
Have Crept in Assessment
is a Good One

Dalton of Silver Lake, has filed with
the County Board his annual report of
the assessment of Kenosha county for
the year and in connection made some
statements in regard to the assessment.
In his report the county official states
that he considers Kenosha county pref
ty we'll up among the counties of the
state and declares that he is we'll salts
fed with the work Of the local asses
sors. He opens his report by short
account of the meeting of the super
Yisors1 of assessment with the State
Tax Commission and the value of this
meeting to the state. He says in part;
The members of the State Tax
Commission seem to be very fair mind
ed men as well as men Of ability. They
are trying in my judgment, to give
each part of the state square DEAL
My relations with the town and the
| city assessors have been very pleasant
and [ must say. that they have all done
very good work. The local assessor
lis capable Of going better work in his
district than any other man, if he is
man of good judgment and ability.
While assessments will never be just
right, I consider Kenosha county one
of the best assessed counties in the
Estate. The State Tax Commission fully
appreciate this fact, and while their
assessment for our co&0ty in 1907 is
higher than we assessed The county, the
difference is small compared with other
counties where the full value assess
ment was not followed.
"The valuation for 1908 by the State
Tax Commission is not yet completed.
This year there is a new rule requiring
the supervisor of assessments to make
ia, number of real estate assessments
in each assessment district. In doing
this I have used conservative values
and while my figures show a greater
total real estate value than those re-
ported by the assessors they are far
below the figures as determined by
sale values.
| 81 have eliminated abnormal sale
values from my report as far as posi-
BILE.
'FSale values are not always true
values. In the towns Of Somers and
Pleasant Prairie and in the city of
Kenosha most Of the sales are Of small
parcels of real estate. Such sales are
not always a tue guide for the entire
assessment district. The large increase
in value in Kenosha. City is largely due
to increased personal property, i'm
provements and annexed property from
Somers and Pleasant Prairie.
/" In regard to moneys, notes and
accounts, there is too much difference
in the amounts returned for assessment
in the different country districts, rang
ing from 81, 900 to $58,789
can assessor may think that our
mortgage Tax Law, which practically
exempts mortgages on real estate in
Wisconsin, is unjust, but this does not
give him the legal rights to exempt
moneys and credits which are asses
sable.
As to all other property you will
notice that the amount is much larger
than last year, this is largely due tc
putting the ice valuation of Randall
in with said property, the same is also
true OF the town Of Salem"

"Panhandle Pete" a new musical
comedy adapted from the cartoons of
George McManus, and in which Clark
Ross is the chief fun maker, comes to
the Rhode next Sunday matinee and
night. It is composed of new songs,
new dances and new ensembles, with

pathos. The characters are drawn true
to life and the complications and trou-
bles of the tramp Panhandle Pete, 3"
in his endeavors to aid the daughter
Of friend are very amusing.
There is vein Of sentiment run
ming throughout the play, though it
abounds in pure comedy, and there is
not a moment from curtain rise till
the final fall when there is not some
thing to amuse and please. DIV
