Samuel Darlington, the supervisor
of assessments, has completed his task
of obtaining list of the land sales
made in Sauk county during recent
months. He reports there have been
many more sales during the past year
than during the previous twelve
months. He finds that there is great
tendency to place the sum of $1.00 in a
deed as the consideration instead of
actual amount paid. He says that Bar
aboo is much worse in this respect
than Reedsburg or other parts of the
county. He is of the opinion that there
should be law to compel people to
place the value in deed SO that the
figures could be obtained in making
up the ia bles for taxation purposes.

James Boyd, who was taken to

convicted of robbery of the Cohen
Brothers general merchandise store at
Spring Green, is no stranger to the
Waupun prison authorities. This

PARK BOARD
WILL CONDEMN
rlEMBERS WILL COME TO DEVILS
LAKE AUGUST 70 TO APPRAiSE
LAND.

The State Park Board has served
noticeson the American Refractories
Company and to all others having an
interest in the land in question that
the members of the board would meet
at Devils Lake on August rs, at 3
O'Clock in the afternoon for the pur-
pose of viewing the land and consider
ing the amount of compensation TO
which the owner is entitled. This is
the first step taken toward condem-
natory proceedings to acquire land
about Devils Lake.
When property is desired or needed
by the commonwealth or municipal
ity and the price cannot be agreed
upon between the owners of the land
and those wishing to secure it, con-
demnation proceedings are begun.
Such proceedings do not mean confis-
cation or taking undue advantage of
the land owners, but means the public
right must be considered above the
rights of the individual, when the
public is to be served.
The members of the park board will
meet to view the land on the east
shore of the lake and to determine
what they think to be it's value and
the damages resulting to the owners
from the taking thereof. The Amer
lean Refractories Company owned q
tract of land in Ableman where the
rock will be obtained after vacating
the premises at Devils Lake.
It is not known at present whether
condemnatory proceedings will be
necessary in other cases in acquiring
lands for converting Devils Lake into
state park. Such is apt to be the
case, however, if lands not now in the
possession of the state cannot be ac-
quired at price that the park board
deems reasonable.
