Heading: The Attorney General's Brief.

Text: There are two matters touching upon the attorney general's brief which we believe should be mentioned. The respondent felt compelled to restate the facts of the case in their entirety because of its belief that the attorney general's brief was replete with argumentative statements. We have reluctantly concluded that this criticism by the respondent was justified. The attorney general's brief has also been reproved by the respondent for its biting attack on the opinion of the trial judge. While we disagree with Judge WILKIE'S conclusions, we consider that he submitted an analytical and scholarly opinion which did not merit reproach. We would have preferred that the appellant had disagreed with the views of the trial court without disparaging such views. By the Court. Judgments reversed, with directions to enter judgments affirming the orders of the Wisconsin board of tax appeals. WILKIE, J., took no part.
