Errors some way seem to have
crept into the equalized assessment of
Rock county, for the town of Beloit
finds it's assessment raised over $780,,
900 over that of last year, making the
total valuation of the town higher than
any other township, village or city ex-
cept GAINESVILLE and Beloit city, despite
the fact that two full sections of the
town are now included in Beloit city.
1t appears that the county board equal
izing committee accepted the figures
prepared by the state tax commission
which they base solely upon the real
estate sales recorded. Such an infex-
ible rule, however, has apparently
worked an injustice in this case. We
understand the township authorities
have taken the matter up with the tax
commission and received very little
satisfaction.
