six inches in diameter, thin and
white. In the early days of English

The Supervisor
of Assessments
Continued from Page u


to have that part of the quart
er section that is not clearly
or wrongfuily described, as
sessed to the original owner.
AS stated before [ am limit
ed to $50 days, but the coun-
ty Board upon my suggestion,
hired me to correct the des-
criptions and write the as
sessment rolls for the county.
The illegal descriptions run
into the thousands, and some
parties each year take advan-
tage of it and escape taxation.
/ corrected eleven towns, but
the county board at the last
meeting saw fit to stop further
work in this line. Besides
the corrections, [ found in
these towns So forties and
government lots not assessed.
upwards from one to 10 years,
80 forties and government
lots illegally assessed, and
some tax deeds given on them
in previous years, being still
Government and state lands.
Now it is the duty of the Su-
pervisor of Assessment to
correct all these things. which
the average assessor is not
able to do, besides supervis-
ing the assessment, it is GER
tainly wrong to limit his time.
I for one know I cannot do
both things in $50 days, and
I think it was a bad mistake
to limit the Supervisors
time at all. He should write
the assessment rolls for the
whole county and correct all
descriptions, thereby saying
for each town money which
is now paid to the assessors
for inefficient work on the as
sessment roll, and this would
not enterfere with our pre-
sent laws at all, as the assess
or would put in the vaIua-
tions as he does now.
During the progress of my
work and afterwards, [ found
some personal property locat-
ed in other counties which
should have been assessed in
Bayfield, County. [ think
there should be a law, or at
least instructions by the tax
commission, that every local
assessor, who finds personal
property not assessable in his
town to report the same at
once to his supervisor of as
sessment, and the latter to
report to the supervisor of
Assessment of the county
where it should go on the
roll. Pains should be taken
to get all this property and
all the details having a bear
ing as to the value or owner
ship. Now I want to speak
of an injustice in our assess
ment of lands, which is mostly
felt by our new settlers in the
Northern counties. For in
stance a man clears some of
his land. the result is a high.
er assessment for his i'm
provements. His clearing
should not be assessed at all,
it is the mans labor which
we are assessing. Through
his honest efforts to make a
living for himself he is Great
ing at the same time higher
values, for the land speculat-
ors. Why should not lands
being of the same quality of
soil, able to produce the same
crops, be assessed the same?
If we know that A has $1,000
in money and getting 8 per
