1t is unfortunate that trouble over
the heating contract at the Columbus
school should result in delay in opening
the building but it would have been
remarkable had there been no Difficult
ties over that contract for the manner
in which it was let was the most I'M
businesslike proceeding ever put
through by the school board and that
is saying a good deal. However, there
is nothing to do but wait now and the
parents of the children who are travel
ing long distances to attend school will
have to exercise what patience they
have until the building is ready for
use.

salary of So, $50 a year, with house,
garden and driving team furnished.

Railroad News.

Surveyor Blodgett and force of men
under the supervision of Carson Scott,
finished surveying the route of the
proposed railroad from Woodman to
Bloomington Monday and Mr.. Blod-
gstt has returned to Milwaukee to
figure the amount of excavation,
filling, bridges etc. necessary for
d roadbed such as the directors of the
road want 10 get constructed. Of
course no exact figures can be given,
but from all that can be learned the
total cost of roadbed. rails etc. will
BIZ not far from $500, 900, with depots,
rolling stock etc. to be provided for
later. This is practically the amount
that has been figured on all along and
the findings of Surveyor Blodgett go
to show that the railroad promoters
have known what they were talking
about all along when they stated that
the project was easily within reach of
the finances of the five communities
interested.
The distance has been found to be
a little short of the "a miles original
ly thought necessary, as but 2215
miles will have to be built. The
distance from Woodman to Mt. Hope
is little short of the 10 miles it was
estimated to be, and it is less than
miles from Patch Grove to Bloom
ington instead Of nearly miles, as
many people thought it would be.
From Woodman to Mt Hope is of
course the most difficult piece Of con-
struction, but it is not extraordinary
ly expensive, and the construction
from Mt Hope to Bloomington will be
very easy There is no grade of more
than two per cent on the whole line.
and no bad curves either Surveyor
Blodgett's route will give us better
road than any other branch line in
the county.
Several outside capitalists, pro-
motors, and construction companies
have been looking up the deal. and
just as soon as Surveyor Blodg9tt
finishes his cost estimate, which will
be in two or three weeks. the direc-
tors of the road will have some de-
finite information to work with re
garding making deal for the con
struction Of the road Bloomington

TAXES WILL BE LOWER
IN COUNTY THIS YEAR
Eighteen Thousand Dollars Re-
duction From Last Year.
State Tax TrifIe Higher, County Tax
Much Lower and School Tax
About the Same

A subject that is uppermost in the
minds of the people at this season is
that of taxes. and while many Sec
tions of the state are making conn
plant that their taxes this year are
higher than they have been in many
years, an examination of the records
shows that Grant county citizens will
be called upon for about eighteen
thousand dollars less this year than in
1909
The equalized valuation of the
county this year is almost thirty nine
million dollars, practically the same
as last year. The total state tax as
sessed in the county this year is
$50, 474. 70, which includes the state
loan on court house, with interest,
amounting to $11, 842. 30 The county
tax this year. in the entire county. is
$52, 1922 II, and the county school tax
is $29. 150 80 while the total tax for
the county, for all purposes, is 1888.
1874. 90.
LII 1OOO GuO SOdGO CoA was pOO3 - liz OCS
which also included the court house
loan from state; the county tax was
$75 557, 3d. the county school tax
$29. 72O. SO; and the total tax for the
entire county that year was 1902, 271.
81. about eighteen thousand more
than this year, as stated above. The
county tax was made unusually
heavy last year, for the reason
that the county board had failed to-
make sufficient appropriations in 1908.
and the shortage had to be made up
in 1909
The rate Of taxation for the entire
county this year is: State tax, So. 81
on $1,000; county tax, for cities and
villages, 81 90 on $1,000, and towns
ST. 40 on $1,000.

much detailed information on this
subject.
