New Lists Open to the Public.
This new list showing the re-assess-
ment of these corporations for taxes
which the state alleges should have
been paid in the former years, is open
for the inspection of the public at the
office of the county clerk While the
amounts returned today are not
large as some of the amounts returned
following the Investigations of the field
agents of the commission, one entry
on the list of additional taxes to be
| collected amounts to S109, 203.72. In
addition to this amount there is the
proportionate amount to be paid for
the various sur taxes levied by the
state, bringing the total of the amount
| claimed by the state from this cOrpor7
alton up to over $4,000.

by the commission are in excess of the

ceeds $4,000. The one new assessment
added to the roll of normal taxes to be
collected amounts to $23,472.62.
In order to, have these properly add
ed to the tax roll for this yea, the
county clerk will have to certify the
supplemental list to the city clerk at
once. All of the amounts are assessed
against corporations within the city of
KeHosha.
Pleasing News to City.
The report came as pleasing news to
the city manager and other officials of
the city who have been busy seeking
to pare the budget to meet the city's
needs for next year and the addition OF
close to a hundred thousand dollars on
account of these re-assessments will
aid materially in making this problexl
easier. The county will also benefit
considerably as over $4,000 of the
money to be collected will go to the
county,
1t is possible that the state tax
commission may hand down other cor
rections of the tax list before the list
finally goes to the city treasurer for
collection the latter part of next week,
as it is declared that Investigations and
audits have recently been made of the
income reports of KenOsha corpora
tions.
