Board Moves to Get Action
on Review Of State Val
uatiOn Figures.
ACCEPT FOUR ROADS
Four Roads More Are Placed
On County Highway System;
May Build One Bridge.

Another step towards the demand
ing of review of the valuation set
on the real estate of Kenosha county
by the state tax commission, boost
ing the values more than $20,000,0 900,
was taken by the county board of SUI
pervisors late Monday afternoon when
resolution was passed unanimously
instructing the assessment committee
to confer with the district attorney
and the city council as to the pro-
cedure to take in order to secure a
review Of the valuation figures set by
the state tax commission for real es-
tate in Kenosha county.
This action came following a pre-
sentation of the situation as made by
G. II. Laughlin, director of finance of
the city of Kenosha, just as he re-
ported to the city council several days
ago. The city and county will now
join in the protest against what they
claim is an unjust tax burden shifted
on to the taxpayers of Kenosha coun-
ty.

county were added to the county high
way system upon petitions presented

these amounts are the same as they
have been for several years.

several officials, including those of

agricultural committee. The latter
was unanimously reelected to this
position with Fred Becker and Grin
