OyERsTATED FACTS.

In our mention Of tile failure OF the
bills intended to facilitate the incor
poration OF Iron River as a city which
was made two weeks ago we oyerstat
ed the conditions. although not inten
tionally. The bill that was killed
was one which proposed giving com.
mission form OF government to the
ruling board OF the city. this to be
brought about without the regular
routine of the home rule act.
The other measures fixing the school
boundaries, providing for the census.
etc, were passed. Iron River can, Of
course, go ahead under the general
laws and incorporate as n city and al
so take advantage OF the special leg
islation which Mr.. o'Brien put thru

IRON COUNTY ELECTORS WILL SAY
IF NEW ROADS SHALL BE BUILT
PROVIDE WORK FOR THE IDLE
Roads Are Needed to Finish the
System and Will Give Lots of
Labor For Idle Miners

The election to decide If the coun-
ty of Iron shall empower its board
of supervisors 10 issue bonds to the
amount OF s25O,0OO If necessary, to
build the two trunk lines and the
Villas county road has been set for
the 10th Of June.
AS stated last week, the electors
will simply empower the board TO is
sue the bonds to the amount stated.
The board will not issue more than
enough to build the roads mentioned
in the resolution this year. The res
olution appears in another column
and should be read by every voter.
State Program Next.
The board isn't Just sure Of how
much the state will pay on this new
construct'.n work and for that rea-
son they must provide for enough to
do the entire work.
At the meeting held at Escanaba
last week state Highway Commits
sloner Rogers told Chairman Udd of
the Iron county board of supervisors
that the proportion on trunk lines
will not be less than $3.50 and may
be 75-25.
The amounts will be decided at a
session OF the state legislature to be
held within a month.
If Iron county doesn't build any
road 1t must pay it's share of roads
that are to be built with state aid in
other counties and get none OF the
money for itself in return. II il
adopts this bonding program 1t will
be in shape to reap advantage OF the
state aid and get back upon its own
roads all that 1t will have to contrib
ute to the state pot.
VIII Establish Baraga Meet.
Commissioner Rogers further ad-
vised Mr. Udd that the connection
point in Baraga county will be es-
tablished without any trouble as soon
as Iron county determines IL It Wilt
go ahead and build lie doesn't want
to take any steps until something
looking TO the immediate building OF |
the road Is in sight, but rs soon as
something Of that nature shows mp |
the meeting point will be set quickly |

BURRIDGE HIGHLY PRAISED.
War Department Speaks Highly OF
HIS Ability as Road Builder.

State Highway Commissioner F. f
Rogers Is in receipt OF a letter from
the officer in command Of the 14th
Battalion Of the Goth Engineers, re.
plying to a request from Mr.. Roger.
that Capt A. l.. Burridge be released
from army service as he is needed in
Michigan for road work.
Mr.. Rogers is in need of high class
men in Michigan since the big ex-
pansion in the state road program
and. having in mind Mr. Burridges
ability as a road builder and engineer
he recently addressed letter to the
commanding officer asking that Mr.
Burridge be sent home.
The reply TO his request follows,
April 16, 1919.
Mr.. Frank f. Rogers. State High
way Commissioner.
Regarding your favor OF March
18th asking for the release OF A.
l.. Burridge, 14th Bn. goth Engin-
eers, beg to advise that Captain
Burridge is now employed on very
important road work in France.
You will readily understand that
there is certain amount OF neces-
saIy work in France that must be
done. Capt Burridge Is consider
ed by his superior officers 10 be a
very able and capable man for
this work. Should every request
for the release of officers be heed
ed, 1t would only be a very short
time before the A. r. f.. would be
in bad way for efficient officers.
] cannot speak to highly of Mr..
Burridge's skill as a highway En-
gineer and an officer, and / would
gladly do anything possible TO
help Capt. Burridge return to the
state OF Michigan at an early date
If IL would not hurt the work.
However, l believe that Captain
Burridge will soon return to
America with his unit and he
undoubtedly will get home quick
er that way than by asking for a
special discharge.
F. w. KNAPP,
Major Commanding.
Mr.. Burridge was county engineer
I Iron county when he entered the
ervice of the United States. lie was
ne of the first county engineers to

TAX COMMISSION
VISITED COUNTY
HELD MINERAL HEARINGS AT
COURT HOUSE WEDNESDAY
BIG BOOST IN C. F. TOWNSHIP
0dgers and TObin Mines Set at a
Million Dollars Each and Car
penter at Half Million More

penter al nall mliiiOh moIe
The state tax commission with the
full membership present visited Iron
county last Wednesday for the pur-
pose of holding hearing on the min
erai property OF the county. The
meeting was scheduled to be held
in the supervisors room OF the court
house, but owing to the large attend
ance 1t was necessary 10 adjourn to
the court room.
Mr.. Allen, state geologist and Mr.
Wheelwright, assistant, were present
al the hearing which was given to
representatives OF the iron mining
companies present.
Mr. Allen read off the figures and
az each mine was called the repre-
sentative OF the property had oppor-
tunity to object and state reasons
for his objections.
Increases Quite General.
In most cases the figures reported
showed increases and, in some cases,
the increases were very great. In
Crystal Falls township, for example,
the real estate OF the Tobin mine
which was set at S236.0O0 In 1917 is
this year put in at a trihe over ST.
100000, although the only change at
the property in that time has been
the mining and shipping Of several
hundred thousand tons Of ore.
The odgers mine was pegged al
$1,000,0O0 for the real estate portion,
ais This mine was in at a much
lower figure last year, but that was
due to the faat that the odgers waa
then in the development stage and
its full size and value were hardly
perceptible until the past year.
The Carpenter mine, whose real
estate was placed at a million last
year had about a half million addi-
tional added to It so that the result in
Crystal Falls township is that the
mineral value of the municipality has
been increased from approximately
$4,000, 1000 to s5OOOOOO
Slight Change in City.
In the city OF Crystal Falls there
was but slight increase, although each
property was showed up a little. The
Bristol mine Is slightly higher than
Il was last year-we are speaking OF
the real estate only and the Youngs
town was showed up from $4,000 to
100000. The Great Western mine
is moved up a peg also, so that as a
whole there has been about $4,000
added to the mineral values of the
city.
There was no hearing on any other
kind OF property In any part OF the
county. The local real estate was
not considered in any way.
Policy OF Boost General.
Advices from other places where
the commission visited brings the In
formation that the policy is to raise
values and not to be so persistent in /
hgurlng out rules OF procedure. a
Mr.. Benton, chairman OF the commits \
sion said There Is to be common I
sense mixed IN with the rule Of com
putation"
AT Bessemer where the commission /.
held hearing the day previous %
their visit here they adde3 substan-
Yally to several Of the properties
From here the commission went to
Iron Mountain and from there Z
Marquette. Il is understood that as
soon as the rounds are made the Gg.
ures will be certified to the assessing
officers.
