VALUE The MILL
AT $l25,0OO.

The board of review today placed a
valuation of $125,OOO on the property
of the Island Woolen mill in Baraboo.
This is the most valuable piece of
property in the city. In order to fix
the valuation the whole matter was
gone into by the owners, represented
by E. P McFetridge, Assessor of In
comes G. H. Stone, City Assessors Hof-
statter and Holah, and the members of
the board. During recent years addi-
tions have been made to the mill
greatly increasing it's vaule. The last as
sessment was $4,000 and there was
a desire by some to raise the amount
to 100000. On account of the mill
being idle at the present time and
with little indication of running soon,
it was decided to place valuation of
$125,000 upon it. This does not include
the personal property, this valuation
is to be placed later Mr.. McFetridge
said he desired a fair valuation, one
not too high nor too low. There is
general satisfaction among those pre-
sent the assessmen is a just one.

COOP
PACKING FIRM
NOT DISSOLVED
Resolution Adopted Recently Not
Valid Because Too Few Stock
Holders Present.

The Farmers Cooperative Packing
Co. of Madison, which recently adopt
ed a resolution to dissolve following
the purchase OF the plant and equip
ment by Oscar Mayer & Co., has not
been legally dissolved, according to an
opinion sent yesterday from the at
torney general to Secretary of State
Hull.
Lack of the required two-thirds vote
to pass the resolution of dissolution is
the reason for the opinion.
"A resolution to dissolve the Farm
ers' Cooperative Packing Co. of Madi-
son was adopted by vote of 761 mem
bers, being the vote of all members
present at meeting duly called out
of a total membership of the corpora
ton of 5,223," states the letter. eThe
question presented by your communi-
cation is whether a resolution is
effective adopted at such meeting is
corporation in question.
''It is the opinion of this department
that the resolution in question is not
sufficient"
The law provides that "any corpora
ton may, when no other mode is
specially provided, dissolve by the
adoption of written resolution to that
effect, at a meeting of its members
specially called for that purpose, by
a vote Of the owners of at least two
thirds of the stock in the case of stock
corporation"
Many Sauk' County farmers took
stock in the enterprise when it was
organized a few years ago. But few
cents were realized at the time the
sale was made to the new owners.

ALONG

States Commission has Power over
Service Corporation Mutilating

Public service corporations using
trunk line highways can be restrain

shade trees along such highways, ac-
cording to an opinion of the attorney
general Wednesday to FL. F. Arps,
district attorney at Chiffon.
Such corporations have no right
to set poles without franchise

highway commission. This puts it
within the power Of the commission
to protect the trees. Many corpora

val of the commission, and their ac-
tions are not legal until this has been
gained.
While not attempting to state the
duty Of the commission in the mat

highway commission to protect the
against uses that result in
a detriment to the comfort safety
