Get SMALL INCREASE
State Tax Commission Fixes
Valuation for Kenosha
County at $43,015,756
MANY COUNTIES ARE BOOSTED

Kenosha county is given small in
crease in valuation by the annual re-
port Of the Wisconsin State Tax Com
mission which was made public today
but the amount of the increase is not
as large as in former years. Under
the decision Of the commission the val
uation Of Kenosha county is fixed at
/ 43,0i5,756. The real estate in the
county is assessed at $31, 1887, 1874 and
the personal property at $11,178,012
This is an increase Of a little less than
100000 over the amount assessed
against this county by the state com
mission a year ago 1t is interesting
to know that all the counties in the
state save one have been increased by
the commission and in most cases the
increase is larger than that in this
county. Racine county is given total
assessment of $76S5Q,2S4.
The superintendent among the coun-
ties of the special taxes next January
for the construction Of the new capitol
maintenance Of the state charitable and
penal institutions, state aid for schools
and other special purposes will be bas-
ed on this assessment.
The value Of all taxable property in
the state, according to the assessment,
lis $2,941, 412, $40, an increase of $685.
232,43S over that of last year. The
valuation Of real estate is $4,000, 225, 22G
an increase of 94,OS5, 2o5, and the val
uation of personal property is $739,1S7,-
GIG, an increase of $l9S,232, 438.
The only county not drawing an in
crease of assessment is Douglas. The
assessment Of that county is $46, IA 1886
a decreaas of $631,71s. The assess
ment Of real estate there increased ST.
514 $50, but that of personal property
decreased $2,206,o7S leaving a net de-
crease of $69l,71s.
The amount Of taxes to be raised by
each county under this assessment will
be determined within the next month.
These amounts will then be certified by
the secretary of state to the various
county clerks, who will submit them to
the boards of supervisors for apportion-
ment among the different towns, VII
lagos and cities. The county boards
will consider these figures at the No.
vember meeting, and the taxes will be
collected next January and RENTED to
the state treasury in February.

FIVE TOWNS VOTE TAX LEVIES
Roads to be Built Must Radiate from
the County Seats and the Various
Market Towns and There Must be
No dead Ends

Kenosha county will expend at least
! $13, 400 Tor the building and rebuilding
of highways during the coming year
as the final town meetings for levying
taxes for road work were held on Fri
day afternoon when the town of Paris
voted to levy a tax of $1,000. Paris
voted unanimously in favor of good
roads, there being no vote against the
proposition. Under the reports receiv,
ed it is shown that five towns in the
county have voted to levy taves to the
amount of $1,000 divided as follows:
Brighton $500; Paris 81 900; Bristol
$1,000; Somers $1,000, and Pleasant
Prairie $1,000. The apportionment
made from the state fund for this
county was $500 and the county will
not get the full apportionment as the
amount of taxes levied is below the
amount set aside for the county.
Some other county in the state will
profit by the failure of the Kenosha
county towns. There is still a chance
for the county to get the full appor.
tionment as the county board at its
November meeting may levy a tax on
the county to bring the total amount
Iup to the amount set aside by the
state. If this were done Kenosha
county would share proportionately in
any money set aside for other counties
and not claimed.
The friends of the good roads move
ment have already begun to work on
the members of the county board with
a view of having the added amount
appropriated and taxed against the
entire county.
Under the law the county board is
forced to raise $4,000 for highways,
the same amount as has been voted IL
che towns and the state highway com
mission will contribute the other
800. Salem was the only town in
the county in which a vote was taken
and the proposition lost.
An explanation of the workings of
road law is given in letter from
Highway Engineer Hirst received this
morning. He says:
Madison, Wis, Sept. 1, 1911.
Russell Jones, County Clerk,
Kenosha, Wis.
Dear Sir
Replying to your telephone inquiry
as to some of the provisions of the
new state aid law, 1 beg to report as
follows:
Money voted by town for state
aid cannot be spent in any other town
in the county. It must be spent on
some part of the county highway sys-
tenn selected either by the voters of
the town or by the town board.
The system of prospective state high.
ways in the county must be continuous.
That is, it must start from the county
seat and the various market towns and
railway centers and run to the limits
of the county, or each part of it must
col meet at both ends with some other
part of the system. TO put it briefly,
there must be no "dead ends'' in the
system. The system is required to ex-
tend into every town in the county
so that each town shall have the oppor-
tunity to participate in the benefits
of state aid.
Trusting that Kenosha county is GO
ing to use all its money next year,
Very truly yours,
Wisconsin Highway Com.

Highway Fnoinaor
