For a long time there has been the cry that real estato valuations in Waukegan were to> low. For that reason the assessor this year started out to make a complete revaluation through-- out the city and the increase in vai ues was the result. These figures are interesting o6 cause they show that there has been very little increase in the value of personal property, the big increase being borne in almost its entiréety by real estate. The value of Waukegan real cs-- tate and personal property is §16,-- 013,670, as compared to a total vralue of $13,541,530 last year, according to figures completed today by As-- sessor Charles O.
