The matter Of having decorative
lights in the down down district is now
practically up to the property owners.
The bill authorizing the council to levy
special tax for these lights is well
along ON its way through the legisla-
ture and reports from Madison are to
the effect that the bill will be passed
without opposition. AS soon as the
bill is signed by the governor the
special committee of the retailers as
ISOLATION will present the petitions for
the lights to the property owners on
each of the streets and if majority
Of them sign, there is not likely to be
any opposition in the council to au-
thorizing the installation of the lights
at the earliest possible moment. 1t is
possible, however, that the men who
are authorized to make the contract
with the lighting company will decide
to wait until the matter of making the
contract for all of the street lights is
taken up, which will be in the near
future, if it is believed that better
terms for the lights can be made at
that time. This plan of having special
lighting in the business districts has
been tried with marked success in
many cities, both as an advertising
feature for the municipalities installing
it and in the stimulation of trade, and
the local merchants can see no reason
why the experiment should not prove
successful here.

Merchants of City Claim ii
Drives the Farmers Trade
From Their Stores.
WANT CENTRAL MARKET PLACE

The traffic ordinance recently passed
by the common council was under fire
on Thursday night at the meeting of
the Kenosha Retailers Association and
the association has named committee
COMPOSED Of Otto D. Scholer and John
b. Perkins to confer with members OF
the common council and suggest
amendments to the ordinance.
The merchants hold that the ordi-
nance is an unreasonable one and that
the enforcement Of it is not conduc-
tive to the increase Of the trade in the
city. The merchants are being given
to understand that farmers hesitate be-
cause they fear the enforcement of the
ordinance and that with no place to
hitch their horses they are fearful that
they will not be allowed to leave them
on the streets. In this same connec-
convenient for the farmers and their
families to come to the city to do their
trading another committee consisting
of Joseph A. Pitts and Fred Raimen
was named to take up the question of
securing a market place for the city.
This committee is to look over sites
in the city and make an early report
to the association. While the associa-
tion may not be able to work out a
plan for the establishing of market
place they hope to at least be able to
find place where the farmers may
leave their teams while in the city.
With the closing up Of Market Square
as market place the city has no place
of this kind. The committee will in
vestigate what other cities have done
to provide market places and will sub
nit report of this to the association.
When these reports have been acted
upon by the association they will be
sent to the council and the aldermen
will be asked to make some provision
to secure market place and to modify
the road ordinance to allay the fears Of
the people who come in from the rural
communities. Many protests have been
made against the traffic ordinance, but
for the most part it is being obeyed.
The movement to secure a market
place is not a new one in Kenosha, but
in the past all movements Of this kind
have been without sufficient backing.
1t is thought that the enthusiastic sup
port of the movement by the retailers
of the city will go long way toward
securing the carrying out of the plan.
The merchants have decided to hold
their annual outing in July this year
and the day will be made a notable
one Within the next two weeks com
mittees will be named to plan the out
ing and it is certain that it will be
one Of the biggest gatherings of re-
tailers ever held in Southern Wiscon-
sin. Many other matters of interest
to the merchants were taken up at the
meeting and it proved to be one of the
most enthusiastic held by the active
organization.

The evidence that the people of the
city generally entered into the spirit
of "clean up day is visible on every
hand. Through the cooperation of the
majority of the property owners and
the city authorities and the efforts of
the health commissioner, Kenosha is in
a much better sanitary condition and
better prepared for the coming of
warm weather than it has been at this
time of the year in long time. There
was no waiting this year until condi-
tions got 50 bad that something had
to be done.

Assessors Start Work in All
Paris of County Under
Rigid Instructions.
MAY RE-AssEss PROPERTY

With the understanding that unless
a full valuation is given to the proper
tty of the county by the assessors this
year new assessment will be ordered
by the Wisconsin State Tax commission,
the assessors in all the rural towns of
the county and in the city started for
NAL work today. 1t is not expected
that there will be any great increase
in the city so far as real estate is con-
cerned, but the city assessors are ex-
pected to find lot more personal prop
erty for taxation than was returned a
year ago and it is expected that the
toal valuation of the city will be swell
ed to a considerable amount by these
| assessments. Out in the rural towns the
efforts will be made to bring the as
sessment up to the standard that has
been set in the city. Some of the towns
reached nearly full valuation last year
but it is certain that there will be in
creases in many Of the towns this year.
T. S. Adams Of the State Tax com
mission who recently addressed the Ke-
nosha assessors at their annual meeting
has given out formal statement of
what the state will demand this year.
He says in part:
"The State Tax commission is ask
ing assessors in every district of the
state to bring up the assessed val
uations to the true valuations as it is
the law and is most emphatic and
no one is allowed to depart from that
law. We. want to get uniform as
sessment throughout the state and if
you assess at 100 per cent there will
be no trouble. The more you depart
from the true value in your assess
ment work the more irregular and I'M
systematic the assessments become.
There have been determinations but
these will no longer be permitted and
assessments by the State Tax COM
class legislation and giving bounties to
some property owners and penalties
to others. The property owner is
square and honest provided that he
believes that he is being treated the
same as his neighbor by the assessor.
"Where counties fail to assess on
true value the state tax increases each
year, as the tax commission fixes the
assessed valuation of each county and
does not accept the county's figures.
In counties where the assessed valua-
tions have remained unchanged the
state tax has increased. In 1901
Racine county paid 2.4S per cent of
the state tax and in 1912 paid 2.75
per cent Of the state tax while Nil
waukee county which increased its
assessed valuation paid 24.5 per cent
in 1901 and in 1912 paid 1913 per
cent. -
Mr.. Adams urges the assessors to
meet with the property owners and
inform them that basis of true value
would be used in the assessment work
and he also urges the assessors to
obtain from the property owner de-
tailed and concrete statement of
what they had and to obtain stock in
ventories and amount of insurance car
RED He urges the assessors to do their
work fairly and fearlessly without
apologies or concessions but not to be
offensive or threatening.
