Contagious disease reports 1907. 1878
Contagious disease reports 1870. 1895
AS may be noted the reports Of con-
tagious diseases have increased in even
greater proportion than the reports of
births and deaths. This does not indi-
cate greater morbidity in the state
as the past year was fully up to the
average as far as healthfulness is
concerned. but it does indicate that
those charged with the duty Of report
ing have cofplied with the law, rules
and regulations more fully during 1910
than in any former year.

the Wagner department store, and be-
fore the flames could be brought UNI

morning. The danger was so acute and
threatening that a hasty call was
made for the Valley City fire depart

ministrative powers; and
Be It further resolved, that means

ports Of all public officers.
The main addresses of the day were
delivered by President McVey Of the
state university. and Commissioner of
Agriculture and Labor Gilbreath. In
his address DR.. McVey stated that the
present system Of taxation was one
that had been handed down from
many preceding generations and
ages. He said 1t was absolutely in
adequate for the modern business
world and for q nation of such import
ance as the United States.
The commissioner of agriculture and
labor was heard next. He stated that
the trouble with the tax problem is
in the county boards Of equalization
and county assessors and not with the
state board Of equalization. He adj
vocated, as a remedy to the present
system. q complete revision, naming
state assessor who would have
charge Of the entire matter and send
his subordinates into parts of the state
where they are not acquainted and he
through that, thereby a fairer and
more complete listing Of the property
in the state could be obtained.
Mr.. Gilbreath believed in the publ
cation of the assessment list that it
may be plainly seen by all just what
individual or corporation is assessed.
