REPORTING TAXES
CAUSES CONFUSION
Hereafter Personals Will Be Re-
ported Without Exemptions
and Deductions.

Because of the confusion caused by
the returns of Newark personal tax
ratables, Major Lentz, of the State
Board, yesterday had a conference in
the City Hall with the local board and
Lathrop Anderson, president of the
County Board of Taxation. As a result
the city board will send the reports to
the county and State boards hereafter
in the old way-the actual amount of
personal taxes collected without the
exemptions and deductions.
Governor Fort expressed himself sur
prised that there should be an increase
of approximately $3.50, 900, 900 in New
ark personal ratables. 1t was pointed
that this was the gross personal,
including the exemptions.
On the report turned into the State it
shows thot the total personals In New
ark amount to 1888, $50, 049, but of this
sum 1922. 714,312 was allowed in deduc-
lions and in exemptions. making the
total net personal ratables $40, 915, 1874, a
decrease of SO, s5S. 0O5 from 1907.

WHAT THE HIGHWAY DIVISION IS
DOING.
Much Interest Aroused In our Public
Roads by the Highway Division of
the State Geological Survey.

The Highway Division of the State
Geological Survey has been very sue.
cessful IN turning the attention of the
people to the great waste of time and
money on our roads, and their conse-
quent bad condition.
During the winter when they couldn' t
help build roads they have been talk
ing at farmers Institutes and other
meetings wherever the local people
were interested enough to get up such
a gathering. In this way they have
attended about 12O meetings and talk
ed to $4,000 or 10000 people.
They have urged the use OF the split
log drag and other cheap effective
means of keeping our roads in good
condition with such success that many
towns have voted to have them used on
all their roads after every rain this
summer.
During the summer they. are plan
ming to help towns build number of
stretches of model road. They furnish
road machinery such as crushers, steam
rollers, ETC., and an engineer to see
that the best results possible for the
money are obtained. These roads will
be built at Sparta, Baraboo, Chippewa
Falls, and several places in other parts
of the state not yet definitely decided
upon.
In addition they are furnishing ex-
pert engineering advice and bridge de-
signs to towns which plan to build
bridges this year.
This work cannot help but produce
better results for the same amount of
money we are now spending on our
roads, and will arouse the interest of
the people in this very important sub
ject.
The Highway Division is working to
the end that every town may get "a
Dollars Worth of Road for Every Dol
lar of Tax" and it is much to be hoped
that their object will be realized.
