Probate Court Not Apt Move

Alderman Eugene c. J. Kelly's res olution providing for the removal of the Probate court from the City Hall to the County Courthouse, is likely to be disa pproVed when brought be- fore the City Hall committee for con- sideration.
 The general plan. according to the terms of the resolution which was presented to the Common Council last night, is to eject the Probate court from its present offices on the second floor at the City Hall, in order to make room for various other city de- partments for which outside rental is now being paid. These include the Sealer of Weights and Measures, the city treasurer and the harbormaster. The sum of S9Ss.96 was appropriat- ed for rental for these departments by the Board of Apportionment
 According to Mayor Atwater. little money would be saved through this scheme. inasmuch as the city would be obliged to pay office rent for the Probate court if the office were re- moved from City Hall

EAU CLAIRE IRON PLANT
BURNED WITH HEAVY LOSS

EAU CLAIRE, Wis.-Fire Starting
from an overheated stove in the ship
ping room of the Northwestern Steel
and Iron works Saturday morning de-
stroyed the machine, warehouse, ship
ping office and office building with a
loss estimated at 100000, partly COW
cred by insurance.
The iron works was one of the few
local industries running full time.
Rain and drizzle were the main fac
tors in preventing the spread OF the
flames to the big plant of the Wiscon-
sin Refrigerator Co., which adjoins
the building, and to other buildings
and residences in the neighborhood.
Low water pressure due to the high
altitude of the factory location made
the work of the firemen difficult.
The company will at once resume
operations in the machine shop OF the
McDonough Manufacturing Co.

PLOVER VILLAGERS ENVY
WEALTHY TOWN PEOPLE

STEVENS POINT, visa petition
has been circulated among residents
of the village of Plover, asking for
vote at the spring election April 4, on
the question of dissolution of the vii
lage and its return to the town of
Plover, of which it was formerly a
part.
A comparison of the taxes in the
village with the utter lack of taxes in
the town-the taxpayers in the town
paid nothing at all this year except
their own school district taXes-is
disturbing to the thrifty residents of
the village, while the thought Of $40
900 cash lying in the town treasury
also disturbs them.
Throw Proposition Down.
A year ago the same proposition
was voted down, and opposition again
is counted on. The opponents of dis
solution point out that the voting
strength of the village would be so
small part of the town that the vii
lage people would have little lnt1u-
ence in the towns affairs, that they
would not be able to control the APP
preparations, and that, while they
would have lower taxes, the loss OF
their corporate rights would more
than offset their gain.
I'VE don't want to put ourselves at
the mercy of the town." they say.
They argue that, as the village incor-
porated a few years ago to deprive the
town of any share in the 5000 saloon
license fee charged in the village,
leaving the town to bear its own bur-
dens at a time when there was no pa
per mill income tax to count on, the
town now cannot be expected to deal
generously with the village should it
return.
Town Must Accept.
The town must accept whatever the
village wants on the dissolution ques-
ton. If the village decides to return,
the town can do nothing but take 1t
back. However, in anticipation of the
villages return, there is some talk
among the farmers of the town in ia
vor of laying out the present surplus
in the treasury in improvements for
the benefit of the town as it now
stands, before the village people can
get back into the town and claim
share of the money on hand for i'm
provement of the village.
The ideal tax situation in the town
is brought about by heavy taxes paid
by the Whiting -Plover Paper Co.,
plant on the Wisconsin river.
