Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad Company LIBERTYVILLE TICKET OFFICE * Telephone 74 Waukegan, exclusive of the town-- ship, has a value today of $17,732,680. This includes _ everything from horses, watches, diamonds, mosey in the bank, real estate, railroads, ¢to,, and is the report turned over, to the county treasurer today by> Assessor Chkarles 0. Armes, who nas just com-- pleted the valuation for the 1924 taxes. * This is an increase of $1,032,320 over 1923. -- year The real estate valuation--was $14,-- 158,510. In 1923 it was $13,626,020, or just $527,480 smaller than this Assessor Says Value of Wau-- The personal property is placed at $2,579,170, against $3,074,340 in 1923. That shows an incriasé of q0u4,830. All the above figures are full valua tion, not the assessed, which is half the amount and the basis for the tax. The assessed value, therefore, would be $516,160 for the incréase. Of the more modérn pieses of equipment, like gasoline and steam engines, there is a decrease. Fifty-- six in 1923 at $126,060, against 36 this year at $263,.s5 were listed. Fewer but bigge: and better engines boosts the value, says Mr. Armes. In the pe:rsonal valuations can be found a queer history of the city. For instance, the horse is rapidly be-- ing replaced by 'the automobile. In 1923 there were 165 nags cavorting about the thorougbfares, with a worth of $9,160. This year there are but 147, with a price tag of $8,285 attached. Th: automobile census shows 1,709 gasoline buggies, held at $246%,4.,, against 1,485 in 1923 at $237,470. There are more autos, but less value, due to the drop in prices of cars, says Mr. Armes. ° + Bossy is rapidly being pushed into the griat open spaces. There wére 35 cows in the city last year at $1 225 the lot, and but i~, chis year, marketable at $615. $ Eight hogs lent their aroma to the air of the city in 1923. The tax book showed them to be worth $90. This year there are none. Sheep and mules are missing also. There were 51 office safes at $1,880 in 1923. Of that number 7 have been scrapped, leaving 44 at $1,305. Pool and billiard tables are fewer also. There are 73 this year, with a total value of $2,990. Last year there were 116 worth $4,730.

Manufacturing material on hand ran about $2,000 less, than the y:ar before and are placed at $70,925. Saloons 'are becoming a memory and stenogiaphers are carrying their lunch to work, atcording to the fig-- ures shown under the heading of "Saloons and Eating Houses." The figure this year is $10,340, against $13,050 for 1923. "There are less Avatches thisg year and more liars," Mr. Armes explains to the reporters, who neglected to list theirs. "They're worth less because they're a year older," explains Mr. Armesg. Water:-- craft held a value of $2,550 in 1923 and $2,300 today. Investments in real estate, which covers mortgages, etc., placed at $600 for each year. L Office and household furniture tip ped up to the figure of $443.515 a yiar ago and $413,360 thiw timé.

There has been an increase. of monies in the banks. In 1923, $33%, 295 was shown and in 1924 $#05,860. Stocks azd bonds sgistered $15%,.. a year ago, while representation in this line of investment slumped to $137,340 today. After the word "pawnbrokers" in the boogk is the word "none." Net premiums received by ' insur-- ance fAirms hit the astonishing mark of $182,980 this year, against $71,930 for a year ago, which shows what a few good fires wi#ll dp. $69,485 were thumped in 19%3, while One restaurant man claimed the other day that be put $29,000 in his wus.ness, which bears out Mr. Armes' statement that "It pays to watch 'em close." % They smile and appear anxious for him to pass on to sewing machines, which numberéd 269 in 1923 with a valuation of $3,520, and 119 in 1924 at $1,915. * The American Express company had some horse feed on hand this year worth $90, but none in 1y.~.
