ASSESSORS HOLD
MEET IN BARABOO

On Friday the assessors of the coun-
ty held their annual meeting. c. H.
Stone, county assessor Of incomes,
gave the address. All of the assess
ors were present except the one from
the town of Franklin. The principal
change made in assessment pertains
to warehouses and such buildings on
rented ground, the most of them being
on railway property. Heretofore they
have been assessed as personal prop
erty, but in the future they will be
classed as real estate. This is done all
over the state in order that they may
not be used to offset income taxes, as
is often the case with personal prop
erty. Now all will be taxed as real
estate There are something like forty
or fifty in the county.
No great change will be made in real
estate valuations. Last year several
districts were brought up, the increase
being several million dollars. A few
districts not up to the average will be
brought up At the present time Sank
county stands at 928c of the full yalu-
alton, or SCI below full value. Sank
county stands. sixth, the counties be-
ing more ideally assessed, from one to
six being Dane, Winnebago, Mantle
voc, Brown, Green and Sank. Column
bia is twenty-fifth, Adams is fifty
fourth, Richland is thirty-seventh,
Juneau is sixty-first and Iowa is sew
enteenth. Florence county stands at
the bottom Last year the property in
Sank county was assessed at 1856
sos, while the true value was estimat-
ed to be $58233,327
