CITY TO LOSE
ON INCOME TAX
Figures Reported Today
VIII Show Reduction
for Corporations.
SOME TAXES HIGHER

The city of Kenosha is going to play
losing game this year on the income
tax assessments and it is probable that
slight increase in the mill tax will
be necessary on account of falling
down in the amount which the city Is
to receive from income taxes.
The income tax board of review met
for its first meeting this morning and
organization was completed for the
months work of checking up assess
ments and returns. The board remains
unchanged and its members are A. L.
Drury, Kenosha, Andrew Foster of Sa-
lem and Willis A. Epson of Bristol.
1t is expected that there viii be an
unusually large number of people ap-
pear before the board to have changes
made in assessments Of the income tax.
Ten Thousand Returns blade.
Income Tax Assessor Joseph E. Dali
ton stated this morning that there had
been a little over ten thousand income
tax returns filed with the board and
the board OF review win BIS expected
to pass on these. In addition hun
dred and fifty assessor ents of income
taxes have been made in cases where
no returns were fild by the tax payers.
It is expected that these assessments
will be the storm center about which
The work of the board will gather dur
ing the next thirty days. Many Of
these assessments made are based upon
returns Of incomes made by employing
companies and It is expected that most
Of the figures placed by the assessor
will be upheld.
Corporation Tax Less.
"It is impossible to make anything
like definite statement Of the tax at
this time" said Assessor Dalton just
before he called the board to order
this morning, e'but we know that there
is going to be considerable reduction
in the amount of taxes to be paid by
the corporations of Kenosha. It is
improbable that the report of the as
sessments of the corporations, made by
the state tax commission. will be made
public before the first of October but
have had chance to go over them
and know that the amount will be
considerable less than last year. The
individual assessments for income tax
es will show a slight increase over the
former year bat the increase Is nss
large and not sufficient to Offset thu
reduction in the corporation tax"
