OCTOBER ai, Itti City's Share of County Budget Totals $220,097 As a result of additions to the Oneida County budget during the four-day meeting of the County Board of Supervisors which ended Thursday afternoon, Rhinelander's share of the county property tax will be $220,096.94, it, appeared today. The county budget originally called for a total property tax of $445,366.98, but the addition of $22.848 during the board session brought, the amount to be raised by taxation to Rhinelander's share of the total county tax burden has been fixed at 48.506 per cent. The 1954 county budget called for a county property tax totaling only only $315,660.72, for the board authorized the use of $100,000 from the surplus in the general fund for 'tax relief. Rhinelander's share of that total was about $150.000. Cost of operation and maintenance for 1955 was estimated at $537,224.25, not including amount required for highway purposes.

Less receipts of $153,333, the county tax for 1955 for other than highways was expected to be $383,891.25. The county tax for highways will total $84,323.73, almost double the 1954 figure of $44,423.77. This brings the property- tax to the $468.214.98 figure. Rhinelander does not share in the cost of the county superintendent of schools office, a total of $14,463 being allocated for that office in 1955. Thus the city's share of the total county tax is oased on a figure of $453,751.98.

In some of our towns, there is a serious problem bemuse so little of their area is on the tax rolls. I believe the whole policy (if state ownership should be reviewed. Reserving always to the public the right of access to lakes, and reserving; always to the public areas especially suitable for public recreational purposes, I believe that a substantial amount of properly can be restored to tax rolls and improved, adding value In our district and 'increasing employment opportunities." CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION FOR ALL INDUSTRY.

"I am familiar with recreation industry of our district and believe it is of the utmost importance to all of Northern Wisconsin. I will work for its encouragement and development. However, I believe that other industry is important, too, to our business men and wage earners, and I will support legislation beneficial to ALL." PROVIDE A STATE SOLDIERS' BONUS: "The State Liquor Tax, originally established for Veterans Housing, should be restored. This tax income should be used for Veterans' Housing, as it was originally intended. The continued tax income, and repayments on housing loans, will increase the fund each year.

Once the Veterans' IJousing needs are satisfied, a fund sufficient would be immediately available for a Veterans' Bonus payment. The first payments with the available cash would be paid to those Veterans with toe longest service, taking into consideration their service on foreign soil. The remaining veterans would receive their bonus as the cash becomes available, from continued liquor tax payments and repayments on Veterans Housing mortgages, and, of course, payable to the Veterans on a length-of-service basis, with the Veteran with the greatest service receiving the full bonus first and the Veteran with the last service receiving the bonus last." INCREASE OLD AGE ASSISTANCE: "We are not being fair with our older residents. I especially object to present statutes requiring these people to surrender their modest life insurance policies. At present, these people must give up their modest insurance if it exceeds S50I) and in return are given $300 burial.

I think it is only decent and right that this inhumane law should be repealed, and I pledge myself to work for its repeal." INCREASE STATE AIDS SCHOOLS AM) HIGHWAYS: "I believe the state must recognize its responsibilities for the education of our youth and for the development of a highway system which the entire state uses. Our district needs increased state aids for these purposes." STOP THE SALES TAX DRIVE: "I am unalterably opposed to the sales tax ana will vigorously resist efforts to impose such a tax on the people of Wisconsin." AMENDMENT OF TRUCK LICENSE LAWS; "I believe the present law governing the licensing of (rucks is unfair, especially to the operators of small trucks, and I will work for fair and just revisions." For Experienced Service ELECT EARL NEHLS.
