Supervisor of Assessments
Presents His Annual Re
port to County Board
MAY HAVE NO COUNTY TAXES

County Supervisor Of Assessments
Joseph E. Dalton rendered his annual
report to the county board this morn
ing and the report was notable in that
it showed that during the year there
has been a general tendency on the
part of assessors in both the towns and
city to get to the true value Of proper
ty. The valuation both the city and
the towns has been materially increas-
ed as a result of this work and it is de
clared that the equalization to be made
by the county board this year win be
one eminently far to both the city
and county.
In his report Supervisor Dalton de-
clared that the only valuation which
would be fair to all concerned was the
true value which had been computed
on sales values running over long
period of time. To his report he APP
pended table showing the true value
of property il the towns and in the
oity and it is not improbable that this
will be adopted by the committee on
assessment as the basis for the levy
of taxes this year The valuation Of
course places a heavier burden Of taxes
on the city than on the towns, but it
is made in such a fair manner thar the
people Of the city should Be wiling to
accept it. The valuations as placed in
this table follow:

MAY ACT IN GIRCUI1 COURT
County Board to Pass Resolution on
Monday Directing the District At
torney to Proceed in Effort to Have
Big Plant Declared Nuisance.

District Attorney Henry J. Hastings
believes he has found way to pull
the teeth Of the powder trust SO far
as Kenosha county is concerned All
he laid a carefully prepared opinion be-
fore the members Of the county board
this morning in which he gave it as
his opinion that a suit to GUST the
plant as nuisance might be brought
by any property owner in the direct
neighborhood Of the big plant. He as
serted further that an action could be
brought by the attorney general Of the
state and by the district attorney Of
the county. The last plan suggested
seems to appeal most TO the members
of the board and on Monday the
special committee named to fight the
powder mill will offer resolution pro-
viding for the fight. It is probable
that the circuit court will be tried as
means to have the plant declared a
nuisance. The opinion of the district
attorney follows:
TO the Honorable, the County Board
of Supervisors Of Kenosha County.
Gentlemen
| After a careful investigation of the
authorities upon the question submit
ted to me as to the abatement of the
powder plant in the town of Pleasant
Prairie as public nuisance, I have
reached the conclusion that an action
might be successfully maintained.
This plant is located in ! thickly set
tied community, and in close proxi-
nifty to the homes Of many citizens Of
the county; there have been numerous
explosions, all causing more or less
damage to surrounding property, and in
my opinion, its continued operation
cannot help but depreciate the value
Of the surrounding property and Ger
tainly it would impede the wholesome
advance for which all property owners
are looking. Our supreme court has
held that the question of nuisance in
the maintenance Of any business de-
Ponds not only upon the character of
such bus ness but also upon its proxi-
nifty Of the dwellings, business, prop
erty OF occupancy of others. And that
where any business, though not itself
lawful, becomes a nuisance to adjoin-
ing property, it is no defense that the
business. was conducted in reasonable
and proper manner

The passage Of the law regulating
the manufacture of powder in the year
1911 would not necessarily stand in the
way Of maintaining a successful suit,
although it does not help our ease any.
The legislature cannot license a public

those injured by it, as this would be

PRETTY AND He POSSESSES
THE COIN.

Detroit, Oct. 19.-Advanced theories
and pre-nuptial contracts entered into
by courageous highbrows may have a
dampening effect on the spirits of Gu
pid. But just as one sinks for the
third time in discouraged contempla-
ton of the smothering Of impulse in
human relations, along comes G. L.
Webb, a wealthy ranchman from
Western Colorado, and by his mar
riage with Margaret Turner, clerk in
department store, in jig time after
he arrived in Denver yesterday, the
old way is given a sky -night boost
The courtship and marriage consumed
only fifteen minutes.
Webb, 1t is claimed, is the sturdy
possessor of many rich acres; he owns
f1ocks, droves and acres and is rated
as being good for 100000 any time he
cares to sign his name to a check call
ing for that amount.
Following a busy summer and fat
harvests, Webb got into boiled shirt

near Fruita, to his foreman and came
to the city for vacation.
Webb, when he left home, hadn't
the faintest notion that ne was on his
way to meet what was on it's way to
meet him. He was merely bound for
Denver and a vacation. On the train
he had read the story OF a certain
Miss Heloise Chandler, Of Phiiadel-
phia, and Carlton Washburn, of Pasa-
dena, entering the holy bonds Of mat
rimony, full armed with escape de-
vices in the event that love died in the
hearts of either one, and he thought
What rot!" as he tossed the journal
aside.
And There She Stood.
Arrived in Denver, Webb registered
at an uptown hotel and went out for
walk. Strol1ing into a department
store to make a trifling purchase, he
stopped at a counter and there stood
Margaret Turney, whom he had once
known, but whom he had not seen for
two years.

look into the depth of her gentle eyes;

resting on the ledge of the counter
and Webb went under without a
struggle.
There was to be no waiting as far
as he was concerned. This business of
giving at least as much time to
thinking about marriage as Is given
to a selecting a suit Of clothes or a
hat was all nonsense. One doesn't
receive a sudden electric summons to
this nifty suit or that smart hat, as
he receives when his true mate ap-

the least idea OF It, much less that
what has happened would come to
pass.
Fifteen Minutes Enough.
'T was demonstrating down at
Daniels & Fishers when he came in.
That was twenty minutes to s o'clock
He asked me to go with him to a Jus
tfce of the peace and marry him, and
thought it over right quick. At five
minutes to o'clock we were married
Swift work? Yes, ii was, but l did not

my eyes open, and feel that there's
no mistake and that everything's CO.
ing to be fine.
MY husband is the soul of kindness
He can't do enough for me. He took
me downtown this morning and I did
months shopping in a few hours
Nothing was too good for me. I tried
on and was fitted-suits, dresses
everything imaginable, and he stood
by, and when we came to leave
found that he'd had some other dresses
sent along that I hadn't known he
was going to.
1T will be very different from what
I've been doing, working every day to
make my living, as / have. He is
very well fxed-quite wealthy, in fact
and there's a car for me to drive and
horses for me to ride-and, well,
know that I'm going to be as happy
as can be-"
The wedding occurred while crowds
packed the street to see the f1remen's
run. There was an absence of white
satin, orange blossoms. pie knives and
pickle dishes. With benefit of clergy
