Janesville firemen start preparing their own meals at stations. Rock County won't plow rural concrete roads, but it does erect its first snow fence to try to prevent drifting on Highway 26. A severe cold snap, with lows ranging from minus 18 to 28 below zero, freezes the Rock River, and the annual ice harvest begins at its earliest date in years. Two and a half years ago, few homes were favored with the throes of the beginner on saxophone or snare drum, but today there is scarcely a residence street in the city that could not turn out a band of its own with almost full instrumentation. Janesville Public Library circulation hits 91,264 for the year, up 10,155 from 1923.
Automobiles kill nine county residents, while train accidents kill three people.
