Will be Three and one Half
Per Cent
State and County Tax I'm.
usually Heavy. Small
Amount for City
Expenses.

An adjourned meeting of the Com
mon Council was held at the Com
mercisl Club rooms on Tuesday
evening, the purpose of the meeting
being to make the levy for the city
expenses. The matter of making the
levy was merely form and the amount
put down for expenses was only
enough to bring the rate up to the
limit allowed by law. The main
reason for this high rate of taxes
again this year is on account of the
excessively high state and county tax.
these two items alone amounting to
more than sI5, 900. The following
is the levy az made by the Common
Council:
state Taxes t4sol %
County Tax too13 90

Highway Purposes Bayfield, st. 400 90
Public Library 1900 %
Current Expenses g.. $50 6s
Total to be raised by taxation t44.Osi 10
From the above it will be noted
that the city will only have triHe
over $4,000 for general expenses
and this will have TO last until the
license money comes in next June.
Under the Law no money can be
borrowed until after May lst. 1914.
The council will have tacurtail in
every way possible in order to make
both ends meet until that time. u

Wisconsin, Thursday Dec lth, 1918


That there is not a state In the
Union which is better adapted to
live stock production than Wiscon-
sin. is the opinion of Z. p. Martiny'
president of the Wisconsin Live
Stock Breeders Association, who
will speak at the Farmers Institute
held at Washburn. Wis, on
December 18th.
Mr.. Martiny says, "The excellence
of our dairy herds is not to be sur
passed anywhere; our beef cattle are
known throughout the United
States; with the breaking up OF
the sheep ranches Of the west, no
greater opportunities can be found
outside Of Wisconsin for the sheep
business; owing to the great variety
Of hog feeds grown in Wisconsin
We are able to produce a stronger.
heavier and more prolific hog than
can be produced in the corn belt
and hog cholera is practically un-
known here; Wisconsin farmers
have produced many superior draft
horses. yet her advant tsges for
horse raising have been little used.
We have great live stock state,
destined to become still greater.
The lecture will doubly in interesting
from the stockmen's standpoint for
the reason that Martiny will use q
large number OF lantern slides to
illustrate every part Of it.
