system of the county will demand careful man
agement at the hands of tpe county author
tiles In view of the radical changes in our
condition probable in the near future good
sense would dictate that the time has come to
put the system on a solid basis. The county is
larger than the State of Rhode Island and now
has a population greater than that of the
State of Nevada. The continued support of
the county training school for teachers, the
probable establishment of county agricultural
schools, the need of Il township system of
school government, the inevitable town GEN.
tralization of schools with the transportation
feature added are all matters that will call for
careful consideration. Up to this time our
growth along educational lines has been slow
but rapid changes are coming soon and now is
the time to begin our preparation to receive
them. Respectfully submitted,

Whereas the Wisconsin Valley Advancement
Association since its organization has ex-
pended large amount OF Money in making
survey on the Water Power on the Wisconsin,
river. and in gathering statistical information
showing the timber mineral and agricultural
resources of the Wisconsin Valley. and,
Whereas said Association has likewise adj
vertised the agricultural resources of said
Valley very extensively and has been instru-
mental in inducing a large number of settlers
to migrate to said Valley the members of
said Association believe and
Whereas the work of Association is still in
It's infancy and much more can be accom-
plished in the future than in the past, and
| Whereas the benefit resulting from the work
of said Association has insured to the whole
people of the Wisconsin Valley and the eX
peuse of carrying said Association has so
far been born by private lndtyuals Now
Therefore
| Be it resolved that each of the counties of
v 90 }, Portage, Marathon, Lincoln, Oneid aud
Villas be asked to contribute the Two Hundred
Fifty $3.50 co. dollars each toward the expense

| this app ropriation is to be made with the I'M
outstanding that other counties in the Niscon-
| sin Valley represented in the Association APP
| propriate like amount. We believe thatthlS
request is reasonable inasmuch as various in
| dvlduals have contributed their time and mo-
ney gratituously to further the interests of said
