KAUKAUNA-- GREEN BAY LINE
NEARING COMPLETION

The inteyurban line between Kaukau-
na and Green Bay is rapidly nearing
completion. Aug cath has been set as
the date for u celebration at Green Bay
of the opening of this electric road.
This stretch of road is of much impor
tance to the Fox River valley, for it
connects Kaukauna Appleton, Neenah,
Menasha, Fond du Lac Oshkosh and a
number OF smaller towns with Green
Bay. 1t is thought that, after some
years. all of the above named cities will
be connected with Milwaukee by cleo
trio roads. The Knox Construction
company, who are the builders of the
line between Kaukauna and Green Bay,
expect to construct an interurban line
from Green Bay to Manitowoc by way

LAW FOR ICE DEALERS

All ice companies in Wisconsin can
be forced TO place on ice wagons the
names of the places where the ice was
cut or manufactured The law that re-
quires this was enacted in 1898, but has
not been generally enforced According
to Andrew Mitchell, who was formerly
state chemist ice companies can be
prosecuted for selling impure ice, with
out any action on the part OF the state
legislature or the common council of
any city. The law, moreover makes it
mandatory upon the ice companies to
give information ~ to the places where
the ice sold by them is obtained No
action on the part of any official to
secure this knowledge is contemplated
by the law. The law makes it obliga-
tory on all ice dealers to give to the
public the information in question with
out having their attention called to the
matter by anybody.
Every ice dealer offering ice for sale
for all ordinary purposes is required
under penalty of law to place on its
wagons i'll a conspicuous manner the
name of the locality where the ice was
cut, harvested or obtained 1t was
through the efforts Of Mr. Mitchell that
this law was enacted The law provides
penalty Of not less than $50 and not
more than 800 for each violation
II is claimed that most of the ice com
panies doing business in this state have
J ignored the law

by PERCEPTIONS cliffs. The first half of
the trip WAS uneventful, But when he
and the driver of the team, II livery man,
arrived ut the most narrow and danger

suddenly became loosened from the

with tremendous velocity The horses
became frightened, instinctively turned
To one side t. escape the approaching

TOWN OF MANIT0W0C
WILL WITHDRAW.

The initial move toward securing
central high school was taken Monday
when petition signed by supervisors
ana taxpayers of the town of Manito-
WAS laid before the mayor and common
council requesting that permission be
given the town To withdraw from Joint
school district No |. and join u district
in the town of Rapids Among those
who had signed the petition We're Super
visors c. Muth, Ferdinand Miller and
NJ A. Helm. Since the original forma-
tion of the school district, part of the
town Of Manltowoc has been in Joint
district No I ON the North side and
and part in joint district No on the
South side.
When the question e consolidation
WAS under consideration, the difficulty
encountered was the separation of the
town of Manitowoc from the city dis
tricts Should the petition be- granted,
district No / would be required to pay
to the town several thousand dollars
the part the town has contributed to the
permanent property of the district.
Mayor Kemper has called II special
Joint meeting of the common council
and tire town boards of Manitowoc and
Rapids, to consider the petition. The
fixing of the amount of money that
should be paid to the town of Manito
woo in the event of the separation will
probably be the principal difficulty.
