Manager of Boulevard Gardens

Company's Office

BERKELEY, April AIS a result of
paraIytic stroke H. K. Stowe, rela-
tive of j. W. Richards and former en-
gineer of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, fell on hot stove yesterday aft
ernoon and now lies in a precarious
condition at the Roosevelt hospital.
Stowe would have been burned to death
had it not been for the discovery of his
predicament by c. Silverstein, who res
cued him from his perilous position.
According to DR.. Frank Woolsey who
is attending him, his life is in danger,
although he is resting, easily tonight.
Stowe resides at 2245 Dwight way
and had been employed as manager of
the boulevard gardens, a real estate
tract near the county line. He was
alone in the Office of the company when
he was seized with a fainting spell.
He fell on his right side on the stove
and was horribly burned In his strus-
giles he turned to the left side of his
body, and that side was also nearly
rendered a charred mass of flesh. He
rolled over and over on the fiat top of
the stove and was terribly burned about
the head and face.
Stowe is an elderly man. and accord
ing to DIR. Woolsey he may not recover
from the shock. He came to Berkeley
for his health three months ago.

This Is No Dream.

A ruling has recently been promul-
gated by the United States Postoffice
Department excluding from trans
mission through the mails as second
class matter weekly newspapers
mailed to subscribers, who are one
year in arrears ON their subscription
account. Interpreted this ruling
means
First-That on and after April
1st, 1908, the publisher of the River
Falls Journal must pay postage up
on all copies of the paper sent to
delinquent subscribers who are one
year in arrears, at the transie mt
rate of one cent for each four ounces
or fraction thereof;-or-
Second That the names of such
delinquent subscribers must be
stricken from our subscription list.
The postal authorities have re-
Stricted our action in this connection
to the two options above suggested.
AS business proposition the adop-
ton Of the first would prove ruinous,
and we confidently trust that we
may be spared the adoption Of the
second by prompt adjustment of
arrearages on the part of de-
linquentS.
While we shall be pleased to re-
tain your highly esteemed patron
age, under the Federal ruling to
which we have referred it will be i'm
practicable for us to do so, unless
the arrearages indicated shall be
paid.

THE STATE TAX LEVY
ITS RELATION TO THE COUNTY TAX FOR l9O6-'O7

In response to inquiries the state
department of Madison has prepared
the following statement respecting
items composing the last state tax
levy and the proportionate part
borne by the several counties of the
state as compared with the 1906 tax:
The state tax levy for 1906 was
limited to one-half of the tax ordi-
narily levied for common schools
and amounted to $643, $50. All other
taxes were RENTED. A brief state
ment of the receipts and expenses
by the state for the fiscal year 1907
and it's relation to the 1906 state
tax levy is presented in this con-
nection. The balance in the general
fund OF the state treasury on June
3Oth, 1906, was 81, 225, 1926.
The total general fund receipts
by the state for the ensuing year
were S., 122, 344,17. These receipts
were contributed from various
sources including the railway taxes
of $2,673,771.12, insurance tax and
fees amounting to 1868, 1853 and
smaller sums received from inheri-
lance tax, licenses, corporations and
other fees all of which contributed
to the total of $5,122 BALI.
During the same period the total
state disbursements from the general
fund amounted to 1854, 655.70 or a
half million dollars in excess of the
receipts. These disbursements in
cluded 1919, 441.46 paid by the state
for maintenance of charitable and
penal institutions together with in
Vulnerable other items, all paid out
under specific legal provisions.
These items covered the cost of
maintaining the state government,
including the courts, departments,
and different bureaus; all the direct
appropriations by the legislature,
and monies contributed toward
educational institutions, which lat
ter items amounted to substantially
one-half of the entire state disburse-
ments.
No state tax levy was made in
1906 for any purpose whatsoever ex-
cepting for one-half of the common
school tax above mentioned which
amounted to $643, $50. This amount
was charged against the different
counties and afterward distributed
among them together with the adj
ditional amount of $643, $50, not levi
ed, the annual appropriation of $780,
900 required by law TO be paid out of
the general fund for common schools
and the sum of $187 lis, interest on
school trust funds, making total
of ST ,674,47 distributed among the
counties. In other words, in 1907
in addition to paying all expenses OF
state government, the state paid
back to the different counties 81 $780,
795 more than it received from them
in taxes for the year 1906.
This was possible owing to the
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1908-02-06
