Respectfully submitted,

-, The following letter to the County
sin Tax Commission in the matter OF
the Appeal of the Towns of Arena and
Eden from the Equalization made by
the County Board Of Iowa County for
the year 1913, read and referred to the
Committee on Finance and Taxation:
October p, 1914.
R. E Gribbel, Esq,
County Clerk,
Dodgeville. Wis
Dear Sir: Referring to the appeal of
the towns of Arena and Eden from the
of Iowa County for the year 1913, we
beg to advise you that we have today
of the appeal and herewith
enclose our certificate or final deter
in the matter, as prescribed by
Section 1879 of the Statutes. The GER
tifcate should be filed as a permanent
record in your office and the inequalities
shown thereby corrected in the appor-
tionment of taxes for the current year.
We experienced considerable delay in
getting the necessary information either
appeal or to dispose of it after that
determination had been made. Ordinar-
lily the sales data constitute a satisfact-
DRY basis for the purpose of equaliza-
NAAAN' 49,
the state such as Iowa County. The
latest sales We had at the time of the
hearing were those ending May /, 1912,
which seemed too remote from the date
of equalization to follow explicitly. We
then expected to have the territory in
that section of the state fielded in a
short time so as to bring the sales
data down to the first of Januar
last The calls upon our staff, how
ever, were so great and the work so
divided that our field men did not reach
your section until late in the summer.
We were further delayed by the illness
of one of our representatives sent into
that section, and the result is that the
sales were not completed until about a
month ago.
on receipt of the Information so col
lected. various computations We're made
and all pointed so strongly in the same
direction that it seemed unnecessary
view and examination Of the property.
We accordingly concluded TO dispose
collected by this office, coupled with
such information as could be obtained
by the regular Inspections made by the
assessors of incomes and those working
The result confirms the claim that
the towns Of Arena ana Eden were
overvalued in comparison with the rest
of the County in the equalization made
bv the county board and that other
districts-nutahly the town OF Linden
and the cities Of Dodgeville and Mineral
high on the whole. however the
equalization was not as far out of line
as in the majority Of cases we have
been called upon to consider. It is too
much to expect that districts or their
representatives on the county board
win be satisfied with our decision, but
the result should az least teach them
the necessity Of using the Information
before them and treating the subject
of equalization as one requiring dellber-
alton and care. II is not a thing to be
disposed Of through personal pique OF
uare majority vote
We have endeavored to frame the
order i'm such way as to be self eX-
ulanatory The material features SO
far as YOU are concerned viii be found
in Table g on page s Of the certificate.
The equalization for 1914 should be
ereuce TO the corrections required 10 be
made for 1913. After the 1914 equaliza
ticn is made and the amount Of state
and county taxes for the current year
apportioned 10 the various districts
the amount set opposite the name q
of the certificate should be added there
TO to make up for the shortage in thf
state and count taxes charged TO II
last year. similarly the amount indi-
Gated opposite the name Of each dis
trict Of that table should be deducted
county taxes otherwise chargaable TO j
for the year 1914 as compensation f9l
the excess Of state and county taxes
paid by It in 1913. We have endeaFor-
