Monday the books of the city as

for the city will pass on the valua-
tions of the properties assessed. 1t

who also helped with the actual field
work. Mr.. Kingsley stated today
that the field had been thoroughly
covered. and no place left unyisited.
The list will be finished for the
board, though the second. or copy,
will not. The list of property is
much larger han it was before, he
asserts. due partly to the fact that
there are more property owners, and
partly to the fact that they are all
listed. Much of the property which
was formerly described by metes
and bounds is now surveyed. simpli-
flying the entries. There still re-
mains much to be plated. he says.
Earlier there was a movement to
simplify the books for use of the as
SCISSOR. Commissioner j. \. Johnson
went to Sioux Falls for the purpose
of studying their system, which is
one of indexed cards. It was found
impossible to get il developed for use
this year, and the cards were not
made with roomy enough spaces for
the entries. This was abandoned for
the time, at least. Mr.. Kingsley says
that once installed on properly ar
ranged cards. the system would be
priceless to the city.
The city equalizing board will pass
on the comparative valuation of each
property. Then the books are turned
in to the county. and the county
board of equalization will raise OF
lower the valuation of each district
as a whole. The state board passes
finally on the returns of each county.
In September the amounts of money
needed for the city will be known,
and the millage of assessment will be
levied against the whole valuation to
raise the amount.
There is much totaling TO do yet.
Mr.. Kingsley says. so that the total
amount of assessed property is not
available at this time.

Mr.. Reyolds owns the largest block
of stock held by any individual of
Madison. He has not only interested
himself in the development of the

wants greater railroad facilities be

the great commercial center of the
Twin cities. He states that il was
largely through him that much of the
stock was sold to local men, and
feels a certain obligation because
of it.
Col. Luce gave him to understand
that the money on the authorized
bonds could be had at a much lower
rate than 5 per cent, Mr.. Reynolds
says. He does not want to see the
project abandoned for lack of funds,
on account of both his investment
