Assessment of All Property
in the City is Well Above
the s3O,OOO,OOO Mark.
AUTOMOBILES ARE CHEAP HERE

The final report of the valuation Of
the property Of the city of Kenosha for
the year 1914, has been filed with the
county clerk and it shows grand total
of $30,040,684. This is an increase of
more than $4,000,000 over the valua-
ton in 1913. The total value of the
real estate in the city is placed at
$40, 737 $40; of personal property So
786,76O, and of bank stock $516,375.
1t is by far the largest valuation
of property ever returned in Kenosha
and on this valuation the finance com
r1ittee of the common council is now
working out the tax levy which will
be presented to the common council on
next Monday evening. Recent changes
in the assessment laws has removed
many of the features of the annual as
sessment. The list, of personal property
is not nearly as interesting as it was in
former years. The report this year
shows that the biggest item in personal
property list is that of manufacturer s
stock, the value of which is placed at
1897 ,461. There has been a very
large increase in the amount of this
item this year. The report shows that
there are 705 horses, mules and asses
in Kenosha subject to taxation and the
value of them is placed at $4,000.
valued at $500. No sheep or swine are
returned for taxation. The 500 wag-
ons, carriages and sleighs in the city
are returned at value Of $33,833.
The value of merchants stocks in the
city is placed at $896,577 this item al
so showing notable increase over
figures in former years. The assessors
found $3.50 worth of leaf tobacco in
the city and six steam vessels on which
the value is placed at $24,500. The
list of automobiles has not been large
ly increased in the past year and the
number returned for taxation was $50.
The value of them is estimated at an
average of little over $500, the total
item for automobiles being $168, 695.33,
other motor vehicles were returned for
taxation, the value Of these being
$4,255. All other personal property
not exempt from taxation is valued
at $209,3
The value Of real estate, exclusive Of
improvements, is placed at $S,704,62S,
and the value of the Improvements on
the real estate is placed at $12,o32,921.
The assessment is regarded as the
most satisfactory ever made Of the
property of the city and Assessor
Stevens has already started work on
the assessment for 1915 and it is ex-
pected that personal property which es-
capped taxation this year will be round
ed up during the winter months in or
der that it may be placed on the tax
roll when the assessment Of 1915 is
made.

The coming Of the first cold weather
is always followed by an outbreak OF
burglaries and minor thefts, but Keno
sha seems to be having more than the
usual number of these crimes this fall
Many people are disposed to account
for the increase by the plea of HARD
times, but the theory that the number
of crimes is larger because many mer
out Of work and penniless prefer t.
steal rather than beg, is not borne out
by the appearance of the men charged

A matter ON which the county board
took no action but which was one OF
the most important brought before that
body, was the protest of the property
owners on the Geneva road against the
nine foot road put in this summer.
These people did not mince matters in
their statement to the board and if the
protest filed reflects their feelings in
the matter something will have to be
done to appease them before the fight
started by the protest is ended. They
claim that their contributions to the
road funds were obtained under false
pretenses, they being obtained under
the promise that fifteen foot concrete
road was to be built. If that is true
they have every reason to complain OF
the present nine foot walk that was
built on their road this summer and
there is justice in their demand that
the road be widened to the width orr
ginally planned.

WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS.
Monday. November 30th.

Though the theme of Edward E.
Sleeps which comes to the Rhode
Opera House next Monday night, Nov.
30th under the Moose driH team s aus
pieces, is one of political intrigue and
attempted bribery, the story, which is
intensely interesting and human, is not
buried beneath an avalanche of tech
nicalities as is so often the case in
modern drama when the author essays
to set forth phase Of economics.
The scene is laid in a town of the
middle west where the police force is
10 better and no worse than that of
the average American city, and the
author hag faithfully drawn the char
acters true to life. The chief of police.
John Coleman, is the central figure.
He is something Of dreamer and an
idealist and his constant companion is
well worn copy of the Arabian
Nights. y
The plot, which is simple and effec-
tive, rings true, and abounds with
tears and laughter. One able critic re-
marked that he scarcely knew when he
was laughing and when he was crying,
the changes were SO subtitle and deli.
cate.
The love interest between the chief Is
daughter and young patloiman is
present at all times and secondary
love story between Jewish boy and
girl, immigrants, is both pathetic and
humorous; while Patsy, a newsgirl with
suffragette proclivities, furnishes no
end OF comedy. advdW

USE GOOD ENGLISH
Whatever Ia Worth Saying, 10 Worth
Saying Well.

(This Ia Lesson Xxx In II series OF
twenty lessons In English, by G. II.
Rounds. Inspector of English, Wiscon.
sin State Normal Schools.)
THE PROBLEM
Most OF us do not make very many
different errors In speech; we make
the same errors over and over. That
should be n source OF some encourage
ment. II those who have followed
these lessons will but weed out the
errors mentioned here, they will have
gone a great way toward gaining cor.
rect habits.
The very fact that one is trying
counts for half the battle. Let no one
be discouraged Tho writer of these
articles has had to rid himself Of
errors of more than thirty years
standing. Anyone who makes up his
mind to do 80. can get rid OF speech
errors.
But, of course, good use OF English
involves more than freedom from err
rors; 1t involves the expression of
thoughts that are true and worth
while. So let us strive to make our
speech clean, accurate, and helpful.
Let us realize that 1t isn't at all i'm.
portant or necessary that we should be
talking all the time Let us realize
that silence is frequently blessed
thing, and that 1t Is Il great accom-.
plishment to be able to listen. Then
when we do speak, our words may
have something of merit and worth in
them, and those who hear them will
be glad to listen.
