Jefferson county board of supervisors
the question Of building a new poor
house was discussed at length, but
the project was finally given up In
definitely. The general opinion pre-
vailed that the present building when
properly repaired will answer all pur-
poses for some time to come. The
trouble with the old building is that
it cannot be properly ventilated and
heated without expensive alera-
tons, but something in that direction
will now probably have to be done.
County Superintendent of Schools
j. A. Haselwood, in his annual re-
port to the county board, paid his re-
spects to the newspapers as follows:
''At this time | wish to acknowledge
my appreciation for the hearty sup
port that the press Of the county has
accorded me. The editors of the
papers have permitted me to use the
columns OF their papers whenever [
have had any educational matter to
present to the teachers and patrons.
One thing is certain, the press of the
county will do whatever it can to fur
ther the interest and welfare of our
schools"
1t is rumored that a side-track
from the Northwestern railway to the
William Hartig brewery is a prob
ability Of the rot distant future. This
facility is needed to assist in the trans
portation of the hrewery's product,
which now has to be hauled by team
to the railway stations, entailing a
considerable item of expense It is
said that the right-of-way has been
secured through certain pieces of
property in the Fifth ward AMI that
the side-track will be laid from a
point north of the James Hall cross
ing east to the river and thence along
the west shore of the river to Rock
street. From the foot of Rock street
a trestle bridge is eventually to be
built across the river to the brewery.
Prof. c. F. Viebahn, in looking
over the files of The REPUBLICAN in
our Office Saturday, ran across the
news item recording his first meeting
with the board of education in this
city and noticed the fact that it was
just twenty years before to day (No-
vember "a, 1880. Although engaged
as city superintendent by the board at
that time, Prof. Viebahn did not locate
here until the following spring, w.
ID. Parker, of the town Of Watertown,
now residing in Iowa, having charge
of the schools in the interim. Twenty
years is good long time for one
person to hold a position of this nature
continuously, but Prof. Viebahn has
done so with entire satisfaction to
all concerned. 1t is interesting to
note that three of the teachers
who held positions in the schools
when he first cane here are still
numbered among his co-workers.
