which is occupied by +. P. Barnett
and Frank Heidle as jewelry store
on the first floor and by DR.. F. w.
Rafferty, for a dental Office on the
second floor. This property has not
increased in value. in my opinion,
since 1890. In that year and prior,
it was considered as good location
as there was in the city of Lancaster,
and the block III which it is situated
was the busiest block in the city.
John H Baldwin, in 1890, paid as
taxes on that piece of property the
sum of $50. SO. In 1901 there was
paid. Ms taxes on the same property,
$63 80, and in 1918 the widow and
children will pay on this property
taxes amounting to $113.43
Take as further illustration the
farm known as the John Fl. Walker
property In the town of South Lancas-
ter, or the northeast quarter of Sec
tion 3, in Town A, Range 8, the taxes
paid in 1890 on this quarter section
was $50 So, the taxes on the same
property in 1901 was $104 TO- and in
1918 thu taxes will be 1886 Al. This
only includes the Is acres, in the
town of South Lancaster.
Take another, the property hereto
fore known as the Samuel Stephens
farm now owned by Henry Holzingar,
being the southeast quarter of Sec
tion 9 Samuel Stephens paid taxes
on that quarter section in 1890. $65. so,
in 1901 Mr. Stephens paid $83. SO
and in 1913 Mr.. Holzinger will pay
the sum of 1928 SO.
Many people believe and seem TO
be of the opinion that TIE cause of
the high taxes is the extravaganza Cf
their town board, village board, or
common council. This is no. the case
Your town boards do more work now
than they did in 1890, and receive no
more recompense than they did
then As an example, take the town
board of the town of South Lancaster
They have had the care, management
and operating of the town fairs for
the past year. l understand that the
total amount received by the three
members of the board for their entire
expenses and per diem was $4S 90.
1t will be noticed that the County
tax for 1913 is 500, 1876 70 and it will
be said that the county tax has
greatly increased. That is true, bat
why's has it Increased Because of
legislation enacted in recent years
which compels the County Board to
levy taxes.
The law known as the State Aid
for Highways" enacted in 1911, and
known as Chapter 337, of the law of
1911, as amended by Chapter 669, of
the laws of 1913, is one which COM
pels County Boards to levy taxes,
equal, AT LEAST, in amount as petit
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-12-10

Total for County aid for highways. .$42969 OF
Deducting then this sum from the
county tax leaves it $49216 70.
This is ONE of the reasons why
the county tax has increased.
l fully agree with the statement
credited to have been made by State
Treasurer Johnson in regard to this
law: The whole philosophy of State
aid and County aid for roads and
bridges is delusion. Such aid leads
to the belief that communities are
getting something out of the state
for nothing. when as matter of
fact, they are soaking themselves and
then adding a penslty.' That is
true of ourselves. t1rant county pays
to the state for it's proportion of state
aid for highways. the sum of
$32540. Sc and we receive from the
state, the sum of $25, $50 %. There
fore we pay to the state the sum of
$746O. 81 more than we receive.
| might go more fully into details
as to the cause of the increase in
county taxes, but will end by say
ing that in my opinion the actual
running expenses Of Grant county
would be very little more today
than they were in 1890 were it not
for the enactment of state legislation
in recent years

Reception by Mrs. Muesse.

the following account of tea recent
ly given in that city by Mrs. J. 81.
Muesse, former Lancaster girl,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. V.
Borris, superintendent and matron at
the Grant county asylum and county
home
An exceptionally bright and pretty
tea was that given by Mrs. J. 81.
Muesse yesterday afternoon at her
home on Pendrell Street in compli-
ment to Mrs Edwin Parker Bremner,
who is leaving shortly for California
to make arrangements for the produc
tiou of her new play. During the
tea hours a number of guests called
to enjoy the gracious hospitality of
their charming hostess and to bid bon
voyage to Mrs Bremner. Mrs.
Muesse received her guests in hand.
some gown of pink brocaded satin
combined with fine white lace and
Spanish net, and trimmed with
touches of SAKE blue and gold bugle
embroidery. Mrs Bremner, who re-
ceived with her. was wearing a rich
gown of ivory charmeuse draped with
black chantilly lace trimmed with
black fur, with scarf of rose ninon
and black hat trimmed with white
ostrich plumes. An artistic color
scheme in bronze and yellow was
carried out in the decorations. The
drawing room was done with great
clusters of yellow chrysanthemums III
artistic containers, and lighted with
yellow shaded globes. In the tea room
the table was laid with cluny lace
cloth and centred with a handsome
cut glass >epergne in which bronze and
yellow chrysanthemums we're arranged
among the tuelle with which the
epergne was swathed. Bronze baskets
of Chinese pom poms were arranged
about the table. A basket of the same
dainty little blossoms was suspended
from the chandelier, and festoons of
aspar agus fern were carried from the
chandelier to the tables. The lights,
shaded in yellow, cast a soft glow
over the room. Mrs. T. H. Tracy
and Mrs. F. x. McPhillips were
presiding over the tea and coffee
urns. The ices we're served by Mrs.
Charles Dietrich, Jr., in the library,
where the same attractive scheme was
carried out. The assistants were Mrs.
Howard Carper. Mrs Lee Corrigan,
Mrs Allan Tovell. Mrs. VIM. Ryer,
Mrs. P W. Argue. Miss Thomas,
Miss Gertie Williams and Miss
Atkinson. Miss Norah McPhillips
