DIG THREE WELLS;
NOT ENOUGH WATER
Springs Northwest of CITY Have
Been Eliminated as a Possible
Source of City Supply.

Springs northwest of the city.
which at one time it was thought
would furnish a source of water
supply for Hurley, do not con-
tain a sufficient supply and have
been eliminated as a possible source,
according to a member Of the council
water committee This determine
ton was made this week after the
task of digging three wells had been
/ finished.
While 1t was generally accepted
that Lake Lavina had been settled
on as the source of supply the water
committee felt that before proceed
ing with the establishing of plant
at Lake Lavina other possible sources
of supply should first be investigat-
ed. Accordingly springs northwest
of the city were tapped with wells,
but it was learned that the water
was not there in sufficient amount.
The fact that the Lake Lavina
water would have to be treated for
color and possibly filtered before il
"OAth bt llt 1OK AoUltStit USE
entailing heavy expense, has caus-
ed considerable opposition TO the
proposal TO establish a water plant
at the lake. Certain requirements
laid down by the state board of
health before the water could be
used would also have to be complied
with.
Wells are now being dug near
Lake Lavina in the hopes that water
that will not have to be filtered
artificially in a sufficient amount to
supply the city may be located. II.
o. Rice, of Quincy, has been engaged
to do the work.
However, should it be found i'm
possible to get water for the city
other than from Lake Lavina it is
probable that the lake water will
have to be taken as a last resort and
the necessary means provided for
making it fit for domestic use. even
though it would mean more expense
in connection herewith. The
water committee feels that every eff
fort should first be made to ascertain
if another source of supply is
available, hence the decision to make
tests with wells.

FARMERS INSTITUTES
ATTRACT MANY
,,..;,os Held at Saxon, kimball
ID Iron Belt; County Agent
Assisted by Retired Farmers.

Tho series of farmers Institutes
'1.5 in the county during the past
/, .raet were very well attended and
orv satisfactory results were obtain
N If these meetings. The first two
Iays we're spent at Saxon where an
evening program was also given.
Tho total attendance of the Saxon
a,eetines was approximately 250.
Tho county agent was assisted at
those meetings by Mr.. Woodland, of
Rloomer. and Mr.. Clark, of Rice
= ka both of whom are retired
farmers and have made a real record
Il their chosen lines of farming.
N Woodland has had years of
ovnerience in the sheep business and
bos been a consistent winner in the
sbow ring. Mr.. Clark one time
owned a very creditable herd of pure
bred Jersey cattle and has record
second to none as a breeder and
feeder and as Z Snowman as well.
Mr. Clark's talks on cattle feeding,
breeding. calf raising and silos were
very interesting and instructive.
His talks were all based on actual
facts backed up by years of ex-
perience in feeding and raising dairy
cattle. Mr.. Woodlands talks on the
horse were very interesting and
instructive. His experiences with
alfalfa were related in detail and his
Instructions on growing alfalfa were
easy 10 follow. His talk on the
Great Lakes Waterway was very
convincing and he was able to back
an his statements with facts that
could not be disputed.
The institute at Kimball was not
as well attended as was expected but
the committee in charge had worked
hard for the success of the meeting
and their work was not in vain, for
in terms of interest and enthusiasm
il was huge success. The fore
noon was spent informally, individu-
al conferences and a general good
time. At noon the good ladies of
the community served chicken
dinner to the farmers present. Those
who were absent missed a real feed.
The institute at Iron Belt was
opened by an evening program put
on by the dramitic club and the glee
club in connection with the local
school The program was wonder
ful success and Iron Belt is to be
congratulated on the wonderful
talent in the schools. The follow
ing day the institute proper was
held During this meeting practic-
ally the same program was given as
at Saxon. Fifty boys and girls
signed up for club work at this time
and not a few farmers signed up and
expressed a desire to sow better
seeds and feed better rations to their
live stock, The total attendance at
the Iron Belt institute was APP

CITY APPEALS TO
TAX COMMISSION
Resolution to Ask Review of County
Boards Equalization Adopted
at Special Meeting.

Further ENHANCEMENT to city and
county tax matters have been added
as the result of action taken by the
Hurley city council at a special meet
ing held Wednesday evening when a
resolution to appeal the equalization
as made by the county board of
supervisors at the adjourned annual
meeting held on Dee. 8 was UNI
animously adopted.
In the opinion of the mayor and
common council the values for the
towns, cities and villages as made by
the county board do not represent
their fulf value and that it would be
proper to have the State Tax com
mission review the same.
This action on the part of the city
of Hurley is the result of the county
board reducing the valuation of the
village of Hamilton from $4,396, $50.
the figures fixed by the Tax com
mission, to S2,987, 02S when the
determination of the values of the
taxing districts in the county was
made
Following is the text of the re-
solution adopted by the council:
Whereas, the county board of Iron
County, Wisconsin, at an adjourned
annual meeting thereof held on the
3rd day Of December, 1928, at the
county seat Of said county, did
determine and assess the relative
value of all taxable property in each
town, city, and village in said coun-
ty, and did set down in list of said
towns, cities and villages, opposite
the name Of each, the value thereof
SO determined by them, which said
list so prepared by them was certifi-
ed by the chairman and clerk of said
board as the county assessment made
by said board, according to the pro-
visions of section 70.16 Of the Wis
consin Statutes; And
Whereas, the said list Of towns,
cities and villages, with the value of
each set opposite each name, pur-
ports to represent the full value of
all taxable property in said towns,
cities and villages, respectively, for
the year 1928, when in fact the
values so set opposite the names Of
said towns, cities and villages do not
represent the full value thereof
respectively, in the judgment of the
mayor and common council of the
city of Hurley, one Of the taxing /
districts in said Iron County. And
Whereas, it seems proper to have
said values so fixed by said county /
board of Iron County, reviewed by
the Tax Commission of Wisconsin.
Therefore, be it Resolved, by the /
common council and mayor of the
city of Hurley, one of the duly /
cities of Wisconsin, locat- /
ed in said Iron County, duly as
sembled at lawful meeting thereof (
held on this 18th day of December,
1923, at the council rooms in the
city hall of said city, that the assess
ment and determination of the rela-
tive value of taxable property in the
several assessment districts of said
