REAL ESTATE BOOST LEADS
Total Assessed Value of Property in City
Is Placed at S34, 197, 8o5 AS Compared
With $32,33o, oo8 In Previous Year
Boost Is General.

u
Kenosha's assessable property for
the year 1916 is valued at $34,197, 805.
This was the report that City Assessor
John w. Stevens made to the city
clerk this morning and the detailed re-
port of the assessment will be all ready
for the clerk on next Monday morning.
The increase in the valuation over 1915
is $1,867,797. This is the largest in
crease in valuation reported for Keno
sha since the plan Of making the full
value assessment was put into effect
some years ago. There has been a
very large increase in both the real
estate and personal property returned
for taxation. The real increase for the
year is well over the two million dol
lar mark as it must be remembered that
in the past five months by the purchase
and gift Of property for park purposes
the city exempted from the taxa
tion rolls property valued at more
than one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars within the limits of the city.
The report of the assessor shows that
the value of real estate and improve
ments in Kenosha this year is 500, $685.
$50 or an increase over the valuation
in the former year of $978,475.
The personal property valuation
passes the ten million mark for the
first time this year, the total personal
property assessment being $1O,197, 545
an increase. over the former year Of
$8S9,322.
The increase in valuation this year
has not been Sectional. Every ward in
the city will show an increase. The
vast amount Of building, both for the
factories and for private individuals,
has had much. to do with the big
increase.
The increase will be decidedly help
full to the finance committee of the
Common Council when it comes to make
up its tax levy for the coming year.
With levy of sixteen mills the same
as was made in December of 1915. the
increased valuation will provide an in
crease in taxes of more than thirty
thousand dollars The big increase in
valuation may make it unnecessary to
increase the mill levy. Members of the
finance committee will not meet till
the middle Of November to make the
levy and by that time all features of
the valuation will be worked out.
The work Of making up the tax roll is
already underway in the Office Of the
city clerk.
