duced the evidence by DR.. Ridgway
stating it had been given him in 1928
by Clark who informed him he had
been made goat of and was going to
come Clean"
A half dozen exhibits purporting to
be copies of expense accounts of T. M.
Purtell and Mollie WidelI, as state oil
inspectors, in the spring and summer
of 1924, were submitted by Senator
Severson in support of his contention
that state employees were carried on
the state employment roll but per-
formed no services. The senator said
he had obtained the copies from Fred
Zimmerman, secretary of state, who
informed him that no report of any
services in connection with the ex-
pense accounts had been filed with
him by the persons mentioned.
Senator Severson attempted by the
exhibits to show that the expense ac-
counts covered a period during which
a political campaign was pending.
Turning his testimony into other
channels, Senator Severson asserted he
had been informed by Nelson Loberg
that the latter had taken a civil serv-
ice examination, had attained a sec
ond highest rating for the position
desired but that the position was Civ
en- to another farther below in the
list. Axel Wallace, city clerk of Stew
ems Point, had interested himself in
the case of Loberg, and obtained a
correction of the alleged discrimina-
ton, Senator Severson testified.
The case of a woman about to be-
come q mother in the state penitenti-
airy at Waupun was gone into by the
witness. He said he has been inform
ed that an official was responsible for
the condition of the woman at the time
awaiting trial for murder at Hurley,
and of which charge she was later
convicted. The senator said he had
talked to Senator Walter Polakowski,
a member of the Legislative visiting
committee regarding the case and had
verified some of the denials. Sena-
tor Polakowski corroborated the wit
ness and told Of his Investigations of
the case at Waupun and of his suisse
quent conferences and correspondence
with Governor Blaine in regard to an
investigation to bring to justice the
person responsible for the crime.

AGRIE TO SPLIT
TIL DIFFERENCE
City of Kenosha and Town
of Soners Settle at 5000
In Tax Case.
SAVE THE GRASS PLOT

Splittin. the difference was the
method OF bargaining used by the city
council ard the town board of Somers
on Mondg evening when they came
to an agreement on the apportionment
of taxes for strip of territory,
formerly n the town of Somers and
now pat of the city of Kenosha.
The town had collected $1942.32 in
taxes for he year 1924, during which
year the "trip in question had been
a part of the town of Somers until
about August 1st and after that time
part of TIE city of Kenosha. Under
the agreement Somers will pay to Ke-
nosha 5000 of this amount.
The question has been hanging fire
for several months; a settlement on
the school taxes for the districts was
reached Immediately after the annex
alton was completed; it remained to
reach a settlement on other local
taxes collected for the district. s.
When the conference started the
two boards were widely at variance.
Assistant Ditrict Attorney John Ken
nedy, appealing as counsel for the
town board pf Somers, suggested for
them that the amount in question,
according to their figures was $840
and since the strip had been in each
unit approximately one-half of the
year that this sum should be divided.
The city Of Kenosha combatted this
with a copy # the tax roll for the year
showing thai $1s42.32 had been col
lected from the territory in question.
The differences in the manners of
levying taxes in the towns and NUM-
CAPABILITIES made the question more
difficult one, as the town has already
spent the money in question in carry
ing out its road program for that year.
After more than an hours delibera-
ton, w. H. Afford, president of the
city council, opened the way for a
compromise agreement.
81 was trading with man the other
day and he told me it was mean
man who wouldn't split the differ
ence," he said cat our lowest figures
we come to $1,000 and you at $500.
Let's settle for $1,000"
eyes it is mean man that won't
come half way" echoed Chairman Jay.
Rhodes of Somers. "We'll split it just
once more and settle for 5000"
The council held out for 1911, a
half of the amount named, but in order
to put an end to further pickering,
accepted the 5000 settlement.
