MAYOR smith

Viroqua city is jubilantl Mayor
Smith has secured for us the long
lo2ked-for reduction in light and pow
err rates. He went to Madison rather
fearful that the tremendous damage
sustained by the Wisconsin Minnesota
Company in the two recent ice storms,
would make it impossible to secure q
reduction at this time Yet he sue
ceeded beyond the fondest anticipa-
tions Of our people, and brought back
a four-fold reduction pledge.
Firstly, he secured the immediate
repeal Of the surcharge which mas
been taking one dollar out of every
five for several years. This is now
effective, and the bills you will pay
the first of April, which is for juice
used up to March 18th, is the last

who have held back the wheels Of pro-
gress in this city for the past thirty
years, by. opposing even a little inn
provement each year. Taxes are high
and burdensome, We admit, especially
at. this time Of depression, but they
are not so terribly much higher than
they were in the old days when we had
nothing to show for it. Now we can
point with pride TO what has been nc
compliahed, and need not apologize TO
the stranger witkin our gates because
of having the worst streets of any
city Of our size in Wisconsin. Every
farmer who gets on 10 the Main Street
pavement after wallowing hub deep
through The mud from his farm, blesses
the men who were instrumental in
having il laid. and the effect Of their
better feeling toward our city cannot
b g overestimated. Every stranger
who visits as carries the tale Of im-
provement abroad, ana the advertising
incident thereto is worth while surely
not TO mention the fact that the
abulting property is increased in val
ne to the extent Of the cost of the
pavement.
II is also wen to remember that the
taxes Of last year are no criterian to
govern future years Over $4,000
of the tax just paid is final and can
not be repeated II is a cleanup of
odds and ends. $4,000 Of it was extra
school tax, mainly the purchasing of
residence TO be rented by the super
intendent. $1,000 was for raising the
'city's share Of the county aid for pave
ment of Decker and Broadway. The
other items were the cleanup of ac-
counts of Baily on the well. Connolly
on disposal plants, Kirchoffer on en-
cheering and Mullholland on water
construction. This total Of over $780,
600 does notinclude the paving of Main
street, an as $4,000 lis on e.
third Of the tax levy, and because
not so much pavement viii be laid
this year. we may reasonably look for
a reduction even beyond $4,000.
There Is much Misrepresentation on
this score, and it is well for the tax
payers TO get this information from
the officers in charge rather than de-
pend upon erroneous street rpmor.
There is every reason to expect that
our tax rate will return to nearly nor
NAL next year.
The Censor believes that the young
progressive element Of the city recog-
nize and appreciate these things, and
that the men who have stood with
Smith for a better town viii be re-
warded at the polls next Tuesday by
reelection. This paper is irrevocably
pledged to progress in city affairs, and
cannot do otherwise than endorse the
men who have the vision Of better
things and the love Of Viroqua In their
hearts.
