On New Shop of Portage Lake Boiler
Works at Ripley.
Work on the new boiler shop TO be
erected for the Portage Lake Boiler
company at Ripley. will be started as
soon as the frost is sufficiently out of
the ground for the excavating. The
new building Will be of steel and con-
crete blocks and will have an area of
S5x5O feet. 1t will be erected on a
site purchased from the Jacques es-
tate just east Of the gas plant with
excellent shipping facilities both by
rail and water, as the property faces
on the Mineral Range railroad and al
so on the lake front giving opportuni-
ties for dockage where the firm prod
uct may be loaded directly on vessels
for shipment. The firm is composed
of Henry OLeary and John Beckman,
who became the sole owners after the
dissolution of partnership with others
interested about two years ago. The
Portage Lake Boiler plant is one of the
most flourishing of Ripley's industries
and for many years past has been
quartered i'm one of the old Highland
Smelter buildings. Increase of bust
ness has necessitated more convenient
and enlarged accommodations which
will be supplied by the new building.
A short time ago the firm received a
proposition to remove their plant to
Kentucky but turned 1t down.

ing wall was finally built, and it has
served its purpose adequately for over
a year The wall is built IN two tiers,
one about half the height Of the other

An average OF about ten cents a
cubic foot is what NJ Parker estim-
ated that a finished sod wall would
cost. but of course this would vary
greatly according to local conditions.
The cost Of stone wall varies from
twenty-five cents to dollar a cubic

half thai OF stone construction.

In June, 1910. the deaths numbered

A peculiar coincidence is the fact
that only about four months ago the
Globe foundry, also a Grafton in

4 HEAVY STATE TAX
seorRAL COMMISSION REPORTS
THEY FURNISH II PER CENT.
or WISCONSIN REVENUE.
AO vALOREM SYSTEM USED
railroads Paid So. 2oo.o 900 in 1910.
Which Was Largest Amount from
ANY One Source-Total State Tax
Receipts Were Near So, 900. 900.

washington. -That Wisconsin de-
siyes about II per cent of its total
state taxes from corporations and
that this percentage is the greatest
of any of the eastern central states,
is a point made in a report on state
taxation of corporations prepared by
the bureau of corporations.
The report affords a concise COM
narison between the tax laws of the
states in the light of judicial deci-
sions, practical administration and
revenue returns. In his report Com
missioner Smith says in part:
THE eastern central group differs
from the middle Atlantic group in
using much more extensively the
general property tax for state rev.
enue. Wisconsin alone approaches a
separation of sources of revenue, and
its special taxes yield sufficient rev.
enue for ordinary state expenses.
Michigan and Wisconsin make
elaborate physical valuation of
steam and street railway property,
which, with earning capacity, forms
the basis of state administered ad
-a!orem taxes. Reversing the ten
dency almost universal elsewhere,
these two states have, with respect
to the taxation of railroads, gone
from the modern gross earnings
method to the ad valorem tax.
Wisconsin derives about II per
cent of it's total state taxes from
corporations; Ohio, So per cent; In
diana, 10 per cent; Illinois, "a per
cent. In Michigan, revenue from
special corporation taxes is applied
entirely to the school fund, and
equals about As per cent of the total
taxes collected by the state
In 1910 there was received by
the state of Wisconsin from railroads
about $3,20O,000, from insurance
companies about $725,00O, from
various other classes of corporations
$16S,000, and from incorporation
fees $4,000. Total state tax receipts
were nearly $6,000,000."
