COUNTY BOARD MEETS.

The county board has been in SEES
sion for the last couple Of days. Be
sides passing on Il number OF bills
they have had under discussion the
Eagle RiyorNinocQua county road
and the plans for a jail. The county
road has been impossible the whole
spring on account OF the washing out
OF the cOrdurOys along the Wisconsin
river. This part Of the road is in
Oneida county and they have refused
to do anthing towards repairing it
and the question under consideration
was whether this county should 90 on
and repair the road in Oneida county
or change the road further north so
TO bring it ali in Villas county. TWAS
found that a new road could be built
almost Us cheap as the old one could
be repaired. Besides i'll its psesent
location it is very expensive to keep
the road passable rs the coriuroys
are washed out every spring SO the
board determined to change the loca-
ton OF the road bringing it entirely
within this county, They viii not
try TO build the whole road this year
but will build good road as far as
they go and the balance OF the way
will use the old one.
There were three sets OF plans for a
jail and sherif's residence presented to
