those figures, that some adjustment must be made
l have done the best | could to so adjust them II
had to do it over again | might make it suit me
better and might not.
The work OF the assessors in the County show
but little improvement over last year Just why
they persist in making assessment of the
property of the county at 80 per cent valuation,
do not know. The idea that low assessment
makes low taxes is utterly absurd and ridicul-
Gus that intelligent person any longer contends
for it.
So much money must be raised by taxation.
The assessment is made for a basis for the distri-
button of that money and the nearer the assessors
get to the true value of the property, the more
equitable will be that distribution, in the county
and in each assessment district.
| commend to your attention the Statistical
Tables of this report. They contain information
that will assist in equalizing the burden of
taxation in this county. The conclusions therein
are my conclusions after much study on the sub
ject and many calculations by my assistant.
Now Gentlemen, suppose that this is the last
time that supervisor of assessment will make a
report to this body. The office is abolished by
law after January 1st, 1912. A official. ap-
pointed by the State Tax Commissioner, and paid
by the State. assumes the duties of Supervisor of
Assessments. / desire at this time to thank you,
and through you the people Of the whole county.
for the uniform courtesy and helpful assistance
have received always and everywhere in the dis
charge of my difficult duties

MENT.
Office of Supervisor of Assessment, Iowa County
Wisconsin. Mineral Point, Wis, Oct. II, 1911.
Gentlemen of the County Board l herewith
present to you my fourth annual report.
My assistant, Mr. Joiner, has prepared under
my direction the comprehensive tables, which are
the material part of the report. He has calculated
the market value of the real estate of the county,
from list of 999 sales of real estate, made during
the five years previous to July LIST, 1911; list
selected by us from much larger list of sales.
This selected list we considered gave US line on
the values of real estate, as shown by the selling
prices. From the values so calculated, reduced to
value per acre, | have fixed value in the
several assessment districts, which in my judg
ment more nearly approaches the true cash value
undisturbed by sudden fluctuations of prices
caused by the temporary activity of real estate
transactions in certain localities.
We append in Special Form d. on the last page
of the Statistical report comparison of the real
estate relative values calculated by the State
Tax Commission, with the relative real estate
values as calculated by US. You will notice
siderable variation in those values 1t is for you
Gentlemen who have the final word in this matter,
to adjust your equalized values, that no injus-
tice shall be done to any part of the County.
The acre value which we have calculated from
the list of sales is given in Table of the Statisti
cal Report. 1t is obvious, from an inspection of

Opening The Lands.

People who have not travelled
about the county and section 90 not
realize the wonderful and extensive
expansion IN agricultural develop
ment in this part of the wire grass.
Thursday Uncle Marcus Luke went
to lrwinville first time in four
or five years. He used to live at
lrWinville, but has stayed pretty
close in Fitzgerald for the last half
decade. He tells the Enterprise
that he was utterly astonished at
the extent of clearing along the
eleven miles of road between Fitz-
gerald and Irwinville.
A few years ago the pine forest
along the Irwinville road was IN
broken except here and there a
field or small farm, but today Mr.
Luke states hundreds and hundreds
of acres have been opened up, and
lots of it this winter, and prepared
for cultivation. The land is fertile
and the broad acres of fresh fertile
farms means the production of
the good things useful to the hui
man family.
This whole section of country is
being transformed from pine for
est to section of fertile and we'll
cultivated farms.

Ocilla And Fitzgerald

By cooperation, pulling together,
Ocilla and Fitzgerald have come to
be prosperous county capitals
Our interests were mutual, and
our interests are still mutual. We
have much in common, and great
future, both A trolly line will OF,
course soon promote intercommuni-
cation to the point Of one community
but til such time the next best thing
is good highways. High, dry,
smooth roads. broad and direct, free
from sand or heavy grades. Two
such roads have been built to the
comfy line from Fitzgerald. Will
Ocilla or Irwin do the rest, we
believe they will.
