ASSESSMENT IS APPROVED
Officials Were Giver Opportunity to
Correct Errors Made
in 1914.

Madison.-The tax commission ap-
proved the 1915 assessment of the
city of Green Bay, which amounts to
$23, 650,000. 1.-THE interesting point
about this action is that it indicates
the policy of the tax commission in the
re-assessment cases." said Commits
sioner Adams. when the city of
Green Bay was assessed at $17,60O,OOO
in 1914, the commission was asked to
make re-assessment. Our books show
that this figure should be $25,0O0,O 600
or more. Instead of ordering a re-
assessment, however, we held the case
open to give the officials chance to
correct the assessment the next year.
This has been done and the original
complaint can now be dismissed This
new assessment may result in a lower
tax rate for Green Bay this year."

SAFETY IN USE OF ASBESTOS

Asbestos is a potential lifesaver.
We do not all realize, perhaps, that
the freproof theater curtain is made
Of asbestos, which is rock matter, but
nevertheless almost as soft and pill
able as cotton or wooden fabric.
Asbestos has, of course, many other
uses. It's incombustibility and it's
tibrous structure make it one of the
most useful minerals for many and
various structural purposes.
1t is used in making lumber, roofing,
plaster and stucco.
Houses that are built largely of as
bestos afford their occupants not only
complete protection from fire because
it is a 'nonconductor," but assure
them also comfort of freedom from
extreme heat and cold.

the United States is growing. For
many years we have been the greatest
manufacturers and users of asbestos.

Kenosha.-Postoffice robbers are
busy on the outskirts of Kenosha

SHADES Corners and cracked the safe
drawer in the smaller office at New
Munster.
At SHADES Corners the cracksmen Sc

ENROLMENT At j.
MAY BE AFFECTED
RAISING OF FEE TO NON-RESI.
DENTS EXPECTED TO CUR
TAIL ATTENDANCE.
RAISE TO START NEXT YEAR
Registrars Office is Kept Busy Reply
ing to Requests for the
Transfer of
Credits.

Madison-With the official registra-
ton days at the university, there has
been considerable speculation in uni
versity circles as to the effect the rails
ing of nonresident tuition fees by the
legislature will have on this years at
tendance The increase will not go
into effect for year, but there are
many who predict that the non-resi-
dent enrolment will be cut down con-
siderably even this year
Registrar w D. Hiestand asked for
an estimate Of the probable enrolment
this fall, said it was impossible to
make one. 1--WE never have any means
of knowing just what to expect until
the students arrive" he said.
1t is stated on good authority, how.
ever, that during the last two months
the registrars office has been kept
busy replying to requests for transfers
of credits from students who live out
side the state. This is taken as an
indication that there is an impression
that the raise will go into effect this
fall and that many outside students
are now planning to matriculate at
other institutions.
For the last few years the ENROLL
ment has shown a steady increase and
this has been especially true of the
nonresident students who have been
attracted to the university in increas-
ing numbers each year. The total en-
rollment last year was 1886.
The present legislature raised the
nonresident tuition from 1924 a year
to $148, and a further provision was
made that any student once register
ing from outside the state would be
obliged to pay the S14S each year for
his entire term of attendance
This, it is stated, was aimed at those
students who remain here a year and
then register from Wisconsin in order
to get out of paying the nonresident
tuition.

Boss Tweed's Old Home to Go.

Boss Tweed's old home at Fifth ave-
nue. and Forty-third street, New York,
soon will give place to the 16-story
office structure of the Guaranty Trust
company. The house, one of the city's
landmarks, covers a space of 62x123
feet and was sold by the notorious
Tammany chieftain to Richard T. Will
son some years ago for $1,200.000. The
exterior of the place has not been al
tered since Tweed escaped from the
police. He requested that his guards
permit him to pack some clothes.
They waited a long time at the front
door and then realized that the pris-
oner had fed. Tweed had escaped to
Forty-third street and then to the
river, where his yacht was ready to
sail. He reached Spain, was caught
and returned to the United States.
