to take away the bare look which is
never pleasant, no matter how expen-

beauty in leaf and flower that can

Davidson vetoes Local Dock Tax Bill

Davidson Vetoes Local Dock Tax Bill.
Gov. Davidson vetoed the bill which
provided that the elevators, merchan-
disc docks and ore docks should be
exempt from the railroad ad valorem
tax law and should be taxed locally
in the city or village wherever they
are located.
This would have meant consider
ably increased revenue in all cities
with extensive dock and elevator prop
critics, such as Milwaukee, Superior
Green Bay, Ashland and Manitowoc,
but it would also have been a revolu-
tion in the ad valorem system of rail-
road taxation which the state has
finally adopted after years of agitation
and public discussion as to the proper
method of taxing railroad property.
