Highway 81 through this county. This
would mean the building of stretch
of pavement on the north end of the
road and a connecting link between
the Geneva road and the Burlington
road. In all about four miles of con-
crete road would be necessary. The
road has been completed south Of the
Geneva road to the Illinois state line
and it is understood that the program
for Illinois for next year provides for
the concreting of the road from Grand
avenue, just west of Waukegan to the
Illinois line. This would aid very ma
terially in completing the "back way"
road between Chicago and Milwaukee.
The road will be concreted through
Racine county by the end of the pres
ent road building season.
1t is possible that Kenosha county
will also ask that state funds be
made available for the completion of
the Geneva road from the Fox river
bridge through the village of SHADES
Corner and to, the county line of Wal
worth county.

ognition of his services during the

fetal notice from the Minister of the
Cabinet informing him that he had
been raised to the rank in question.
He is the second Kenosha Italian to

ed a cavalier by King Victor Emman-
uel for his war record.

CITY PEOPLE PAY
HIGHEST TAXES
Report Shows That Farm
er Has Little Complaint
on Taxes Paid.
KENOSHA RANKS HIGH
lRy Associated Press Leased wirel

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Madison, Wis.-The city resident in
Wisconsin has more cause for COM
plant against high taxes than has the
disgruntled farmer, judging by re-
port Of the state tax commission. an
nounced today by Thomas E. Lyons,
chairman. This report, based upon
comparative facts compiled by the tax
commission, shows that while the true
value of city property in Wisconsin is
bat 1870 of the total true value of all
property in the state, cities bear on
the average $3.50 of the total taxes.
According to tax commission figures,
the true value Of rural property in
Wisconsin amounts to 1924 PAT, 107,
while the Itrue value of urban prop
erty is set at s 1886, 485,73 or 1870 Of
the total. -
Shows Farmers Not Overtaxed
In spite of its lower true valuation,
urban property is shown by the report
to have paid S44,821, 7s7 in taxes com
pared to S32,2s4.597 paid by the rural
property.
"This report indicates" Chairman
Lyons said, chat the farmers of Wis
consin are not overtaxed when their
status is compared with that of the
city resident The farmers are to be
sympathized with, however, because
their business is not paying at this
time 1t is that situation which gives
rise to the present complaint"
The assessed value of all rural prop
erty, Ike its true value is in excess
of the assessed value of urban prop
erty, according to the report. The as
sessed value of the rural holdings is
set at $1,8S6,820,979 and that of city
holdings at $1,658,411, 1929, showing the
urban property assessed value ito be
47go of the total.
Likewise the composite tax rate as
sessed in cities is higher than the
country tax rate, the report shows.
The average rate assessed in rural
communities was shown by the tax
commission to have been I'LL mills
while that in the cities was 27.03 mills.
Kenosha Pays 77oo.
Following is the percentage of urban
to total taxes in some of the larger
counties of the state, as shown by the
commission bulletin:
Brown county 65qo, Chippewa $50,
Dane size, Douglas 1870, Eau Claire
$40, Kenosha 779o, Lacrosse 1870,
Manitowoc 56qc, Marathon 1870, Mari
nette 1870, Milwaukee $3.50, Outagamie
$50, Racine s09o, Rock $500, Sheboy-
gan 63@6, Winnebago 77%o.
In many of the purely agricultural
sections the rural taxes total much
more than the city taxes, although the
composite average rate shows that ci-
ties bear more taxes than rural COM
munities, despite claims to The con-
trHry.

TO DEMAND SCHEDULE
FOR STATE EMPLOYEES
Next Legislature to be Asked to
Fix Schedule for Payment
of Salaries.
by United Pressl

Madison, Wis. Legislators here
forecast that one proposal which is
sure to come before the next session
of the legislature rs the establishment
of a salary rate schedule for state
employees and also the establishment
of an old-age provision for employees
who have grown old in their service
of the state.
At the present time the heads of
state departments are permitted to
raise the pay of their employees at
will and are permitted to hire new
employees as they see fit. Also UNI
der the civil service system employees
cannot be removed from office when
they have become too old for service.
Recently three state departments
increased the salaries of their en-
ployees. Those who raised the pay of
their employees are the secretary of
states office, the state department of
markets, and the railroad commission.
The raise in the secretary of states
office increases the states payroll by
$708 and covers AZ employees. TWEEN
ty-fve employees in the department
of markets were given wage increases
and eight new employees were added
to- the force of the railroad commits
sion.
While Legislators and political ex-
perts here declare that these changes
are necessary they believe that in
creases should come on a fixed sched-
ule basis. This would prevent dissat-
isfaction in the various departments.
Under an old-age pension system en-
ployees who have given the best years
of their life to state work would not
be forced-to continue after they had
become too old to work. Experts in
the capitol are at present at work on
such schedules which will be incor-
porated in bill to be presented at
the session of the Legislature.
