STATE BOOSTS
PERSONAL TAXES.
REAL ESTATE LEFT ALONE
WITH EXCEPTION OF
SLEEPY EYE.
BROWN COUNTY RATE LOWER
THAN LAST YEAR, VOG-.
PREDICTS. sS

The State Tax commission has in
creased by 10 per cent the assessed
valuation of half dozen classifcations
of personal property in Brown county
over that fixed by the county board OF
equalization but has left real estate
without change with the exception Of
the unplated sections of Sleepy Eye
where an additional 20 per cent has
been added, according to word re-
ceived by Louis G. Vogel, county
auditor. ....
Merchants Are Hit.
Increases of 10 per cent have been
ordered in the assessed valuation OF
horfts from one to two years old, IN
grade bulls, in tractors, threshing
machine engines and all other portable
engines, in lumber, lath and shingles
in hands of .nanufact and dealers,
m goods and merchandise of wholesale
merchants and jobbers, and in goods
and merchandise Of retail merchants.
An increase of rs per cent has been
ordered on horses under one year old.
On the other hand a reduction OF o
per cent has been made in the assessed
valuation Of pure berd cattle less than
one year old.
County Rate Reduced.
In spite of the increases, the tax rate
for Brown county will be slightly be-
low that Of 59.6 mills in effect last year.
Mr.. Vogel predicted. He declared
that the rate would not be fixed until
about the middle Of November when
the levies will be in from all Of the
towns and villages.
The New Ulm City Council has al
ready placed it's tax levy at $4,000
or the same figure as last year. This
amount is aprortioned as follows:
street fund, $4,000; interest and sink
ing fund, $4,000; fire department
fund, Sc, 900; park fund, $4,000; Genre
terry fund, $4,000; sewer fund, $4,000
and administration fund, $4,000.
r. .s~r. School Levy Cut.
r., The School board announced last
night that it had reduced it's levy Of
100000, in effect last year, to $4,000
for this year. 1t explained that this
action was due to both a surplus and
greater economies which it thought
possible to effect.
Because of this reduction and a
slight change in the state levy, Mr..
Vogel declared that the rate in New
Tim would be slightly less than last
year. The state levy has been re-
duced from 4.23 mills to 4.18 mills.
The county rate last year was 9.57

New Ulm review., 1922-10-11

This weeks issue of the Review has
been, handled by our new editor, Mr..
S. A. Bowing, recently of the Minnea-
polls Tribune staff. We have tcld our
readers something of Mr.. Bowing so
that no further introduction is neces-
sary other than to say we believe Mr..
Bowing will be the sort OF man who
will do his utmost to get out a paper
that will give all tie news without fear
or favor, with the exception that oc-
currences of disagreeaple nature will
be given as little space as possible in
the belief that it does no one any good
to read unpleasant details and often
does irreparable harm. We believe
Mr.. Bowing to be 2 young man of ex-
cellent character, a man with progress
sive ideas, one who will make a place
for himself in the business life Of the
town, and we be5peak for him the cor
dial assistance which has so often been
extended to the Revie7U owners when
it fell to their lot to do the arduous
work of getting out the paper. A good
newspaper is not the concern of the
editor and owners only. Every citi-
zen of the city and the surrounding
territory is interested in having a good
newspaper go out to tell the world
what our community stands for When
newspaper falls down on this job,
every citizen of the community suffers
to a greater or les extent and it is
therefore more or less everyone's busi-
ness to see that his home town paper
gets the support that will make it g
good paper Nor do we mean only fl
nancial support, altho th;.t is impor-
tant. We mean first OF all, the moral
support Of the community. Back up
the newspaper by prsising its virtues
to Others and by taking your COM
plants to the editorial Office, the only
place they can be adjusted. 1t will
not help Mr. Bowing a particle to
kick to someone else if he happens to
write something you cannot agree
with. Tell hin about it and get his
point of view and give him a chance
to get yours. He will be grateful for
the assistance this will give him to make
the Review better paper, one which
will mirror the trend Of the times and
point the way to better things.

will tell you the exact condition Of
your child, suggest the diet, make the
diagnosis, and leave the parents the
choice OF any doctor they may desire
to do any prescribing or give the treat
znent that may be necessary for the
child.
i The clinics are esta blished for the
purpose CT keeping we'll babies wei
and for discovering slight physica
Iimperfectionsr which, if not corrected
in time, might become permanent de

the correction of their defects.
The specialist will also exarnin;
children of school age. The child''

every child of certain height and ags
