lowing railroad item from its Walertown
correspon dent:
There is q good deal of talk going on in
certain quarters about the building of a

that Lake Mills aud Milford are willing 10

be light, and but one bridge of importance
is required to be built Under the c,rcum-
stances the road cou d be completed AT n
