Jasper County Democrat, Volume 18, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 July 1915 — NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES [ARTICLE]

NUMBER OF AUTOMOBILES

Owned in Jasper County and What They are Assessed At. The following is a list of the number of automobiles owned in Jasper county on March 1, 1915, the names of the owners and the amount the autos are assessed at, as shown by the county assessor’s figures, copied from the reports of the township assessors. The total number in the county this year on March 1 was 515, a gain of 132 over March 1, 1914. We do not vouch altogether for the correctness of these figures, as it is possible that some were omitted by the county assessor in copying them off the various assessor’s books.

A comparison of the figures with last year is interesting, and we herewith give same by townships and corporations: [ - 1914 1915 Gain Barkley 31 33 2 Carpenter .44 56 12 GiHam . . ... . . ... 14 14 0 Hanging Grove ..11 19 8 Jordan 12 33 21 Kankakee 9 13 4 Keener 9 14 5 Marion ......... 27 41 14 Milroy .. v . 9 6 *3 Newton ..' . 16 27 11 Rensselaer (city) 104 150 4 6 Remington ....... 51 55 4 Union . . 21 24 3 Walker 9 10 1 Wheatfieid (tp) . . 4 11 7 Wheatfield (town) 13 9 *4 * Loss. It will be seen from the above that every township and corporation showed a gain over last year in num her of automobiles owned, except Milroy township and Wheatfield corporation. Milroy had 3 less and Wheatfield 4 less than in 1914. Rensselaer made the greatest per cent of gain of any of the corporations—4 6—but Jordan made not only the greatest gain of any of the thirteen townships, hut her per cent of gain, taking population in consideration, was about 200 greater than that of Rensselaer. Following are bhe names of the 1915 owners and the amounts their autos were assessed by the township assessors, the Board of Review not having made any changes in the assessments as yet, and may not do so: *"■
