TAXES CAUSE SUIT.

The last town treasurer to make his
Frank Gassner, of the town of Mara
thon. His delay was caused by a con-
troversy as to who was liable for taxes
on a certain amount of lumber at the
Rib Valley Lumber Co.'s mill The
mill has been filling a saving contract
for Geo. Mcintosh, of this city, over
which law suit has arisen and it ap-
pears there is a dispute as to the owner
of the lumber at the time the assess
ment was made Mr.. Mcintosh ac-
knowledged ownership of part of it and
paid $500 and claimed that the bal
ance of the amount, S56.56, should be
assessed to the Rib Valley Lumber Co
The treasurer accepted Mr.. McIntoshs s
money and on Friday last came to town
and started suit against the lumber
company to collect the $685. He then
went to the Office of the treasurer and
made his return. The question then
arose as to who is liable for the amount
at lssue-the lumber company or the
town treasurer. If he had waited, it
was claimed, until the sheriff had made
return of the complaint before max
ing settlement, he would have cleared
himself from liability. But as he did
not do so, the claim is made that he
must stand responsible for the coIlec
ton of the tax. The case will be argued
in Justice Larner's court next Saturday.

MORE ABOUT PAVING.

1t seems that trouble is being had up
at Red Jacket, Mich, with the creosote
block pavement The Evening Journal
of Hancock, says:
"The citizens of Red Jacket have ap-
parentlY more pavement trouble 10 un-
dergo The thaw of the last few days
has laid bare the creosote block pave
ment between the street car tracks on
Oak street and have disclosed the fact
that the pavement is afflicted with the
same trouble that kept repair crew
busy all last season. This discovery is
learned with regret in Calumet.
Through the balance of the season
trouble was experienced with the creo-
sote block with each subsequent heavy
rain and it was finally thought that the
difficulty had been adjusted However
every indication points to continua-
ton of this trouble during the coming
spring. While the expense of repairing
the pavement does not fall upon the
council or the village it causes them
not little worry and it is hoped that
on this occasion it will be satisfactorily
removed
The other pavements, namely the
granitoid and brick, as far as they have
been laid bare appear TO be in fine con-
dition and no trouble is expected with
them. All things considered including
the amount of paving done in this city
and the work here seems TO be very
satisfactory"
The Mining Gazette, of Houghton, in
speaking of the paving AZ Red Jacket,
says:
Between the street car rails on Oak
street the creosote block is exposed,
and for the greater distance on this
street the blocks are in very satisfac-
tory condition. Toward the west end
of the street it is apparent that the old
| trouble will be experienced, and that
some steps to remedy the difficulty will
| have to be taken.
Those interested in the pavement are
wondering how the remainder of Oak
street and also Eighth street, now snow
and ice covered, will be when the snow
will leave A portion of the pavement
| showed tendency to rise just before
the first snow fell last fall, and as it was
| then too late to make repairs the work
was put off until this spring and sum
mer.
From what is said, the creosote block
pavement gave trouble in swelling. II
would be well for our city authorities
to look up the trouble before consider
| ing the creosote block pavement for
Third street.

JULES LUM BARD.

The following item may be of interest
to those who had the pleasure of listen
ing to the sweet songs sung by Jules
Lumbard at the ButteImakers' conven-
ton held here in February. The item
is taken from Chicago newspaper and
is as follows:
"The veteran basso, Jules Lumbard,
will be rs old April IS, and on the after
noon of that day testimonial will be
rendered him at the Illinois Theater
Several distinguished musicians will
appear and the veteran himself will
sing war songs Mr. Lumbard's career
as a singer covers more than half a
century. He became widely known
during the war of the rebellion by rea-
son of the fact that at the request Of
President Lincoln he and his brother
Frank travelled throughout the North
singing war songs to aid in the enlist
ment of volunteers. When the war
was well on they went to the front and
sang with the boys in blue ON the firing
line. He is unique figure in the
history of Chicago"

FIGHTING AGAIN.

1t seems that those who oppose the
incorporation of the village of Unity
are not going to peacefully submit to
the recent supreme court decision, but
will make one more effort to "bust the
gol darn thing" Last Thursday, Chris
tian Bale, of that village, and his at
torney, Geo. Jaques, of Neillsville, APP
peared before Judge Silverthorn in
this city and filed a petition asking
that the order, granting to the village
the right to incorporate, be set aside.
Affidavits and testimony will be offered
at later date and then the matter will
be taken under adyisement.
In connection with this squabble we
herewith reprint an item which ap-
peared in the Colby correspondence of
last weeks issue of the Marathon
County Register, as follows:
Zone day last week uncle Joe Green
wood, of the still incorporated village
of Unity, approached your correspon-
dent (uncle Joe by the way is French
man and is suspected of many other
failings) and delivered himself of the
following oration: Not leeve in cor
porated village Joe Greenwood, me.
John she's made nuder wan heen-
junction on dat villege business. Beeg
long John she's got few dollar left
yet, ba Collie
''It is the impression of the old man
that as long as Jawn's dollars hold
out his learned Neillsville Attys will
stick to Kim 'ba Collie"
| The Marshtield News says that "Mr.
Salter says his case and that of John
Dietz are similar-he is fighting the
village corporation and Dietz a lumber
corporation
Perhaps it was not village corpor-
alton Casey had in mind when he said
''The only difference betwane the big
corporations and the cannibals, is thot
the cannibals cut min up to ate, ond
the corporations cut min down so they
can't ate"

2. G. Hart. superintendent Of the
Wisconsin Valley division of q. M. &
st. P Ry, was notified early last week
that he had been appointed to take
charge of the Chicago terminals of that
road, his duties to begin April 1st. His
family will reside here for the present,
though will likely move to Chicago at
some time in the near future. Mr.. Hart
has been on the Wisconsin Valley
division since 1899, wheh he assumed
charge of the trainmaster's department.
Four years later he was transferred to
Kansas City, Mo-, to take charge of the

superintendent of the Wisconsin Valley
division and came back to Weusau to
live.
lie has performed his duties well and
has won friends among the railroad
men as well as the pubic. 1t was due
largely to his influence and persistent
energy that the company was induced
to faove its division headquarters from
Babcock to this city, bringing num-
Der of families to, Wausau He has
always beep ready to listen to any com
plants about service and remedy con-
ditions if possible.

CITY COUNCIL.

The council met last Tuesday night
in adjourned session, previous meet
ing having been called to take action
upon the city attorneys request that
the saloon license of Ernst Pagel be re-
voked. AS Pagel voluntarily surren-
dered his license, the action against
| him was dismissed.
Alderman Rapraeger, in behalf OF
the Wausau Retail Merchants associa-
ton, introduced resolution providing
for license fee of S25 per day to be
charged transient merchants. 1he
ordinance was passed.
A special committee to which was re-
ferred the matter of comforting with
the Appleton Steam Boiler Mfg. Co.,
with the end in view of getting that
company to locate in Wausau, made
its report, which was favorable to
Offering some inducements to the com
pany to move here. The committee
also offered a resolution providing that
certain agreements be made between
the city and company, which it is stated
were first submitted to the Latter and
its officers returned as satisfactory.
One of these is that the company shall
operate for at least two years and dur
ing that time employ on an average OF
not less than fifteen men. As site the
Wisconsin Valley Land Co. has given
= 1, ast f0,. hs.lf
years on ten lots on the west side near
the Wausau Fixture and Furniture Co.'S
plant at the option price of S70O These
lots would give the firm a site 144x6lS
feet. It is expected that the company
will begin the work of making prep
arations for building Immediately
The company's officers have signitied
their intention of beginning building
operations within thirty ays after
entering into the agreement with the
city. 1t is proposed to build on struc-
ture 50x100 feet in size with perhaps a
number of smaller buildings.
Alderman Fleming reported that
drift wood, etc, had been carried down
Stinchfield creek and lodged at the
east end of the large sewer laid in the
bed of that creek, forming a dam
which backed up water and flooded
the property of people living further
up the creek. 1t was further reported
that since the sewer has been built
water runs down Seventh street and
there being no outlet into the large
sewer, lake is formed. The council
therefore passed resolution instruct
ing the board of public works to con-
struct twelve inch sewer from Sixth
to Eighth street and provision was
also made to have the screen at the end
of the Stinchfield creek sewer cleared
of drift wood and kept open.
gfe committee which has to deal with
the engine house equipment was given
authority to purchase new horse for
the east side department.
The mayor requested all members to
be on hand at the city hall at 7:30
o'clock Wednesday evening for the
purpose of attending the dedicatory
exercises of the free public library

A SUGGESTION ON PAVING.

| The following letter was received by
the editor of the PILoT from a perssn
who is very much Interested in the
prosperity and growth of Wausau AS
it touches upon question that is agitat-
ing the minds of citizens at present, il
is given in full to our readers, viz:
RACINE. WIS. Mar. 80, 1907.
E B. THAYER, Wausau, Wis.
DEAR SIR:-The PILor may not be
an open forum and still know it voices
any sincere sentiment on all vital ques-
tions. The problem that seems now to
confront the people of Wausau is the
re-paving of Third street and in this
connection | noticed in a recent issue
the expression of the opinion of one
party that favored macadam. Person
ally, it seems to me as tho his position
were well taken; but | beg leave to
offer suggestion for your own consid-
GRAFTON, calling your attention to an
article that recently came to my notice.
do not personally advocate this as |
am entirely unfamiliar with it, but the
proposition "looks good" on paper and
might be well worth the careful consid-
Grafton of the common council. /
refer to 'tarVia"
This is product of the Barrett Mfg.
company from one of whose booklets |
quote the following, briefly setting
forth their claims
''Tarvia is a special coal tar compo-
sition in liquid form, which will insure
the following results when applied to
macadam road"
1st: 1t will make the road dustless.
End: 1t will cause it to wear longer
Sd: Traffic, instead of causing the
road to become rough, will actually
cause it to become smoother
4th: The road will not side wash or
ravel
5th 1t will be much less noisy under
traffic than the ordinary macadam road
9Th The road will be frost-p proof.
7th: A tarviated road does not be-
come a nuisance by soiling the shoes or
clothes, and cannot be tracked into
houses like most oils and proprietary
articles of this character
SPECIAL NoTE: "Tarvia' is suitable
for the top-dressing or surface of a ma
cadam road and should never be used
in the foundation or below the surface,
as it is not suitable for that work"
If have been correctly informed the
South Park Commission, of Chicago,
treated some six miles of parkway and
boulevard last year and they will con-
tinue the work very extensively this
season.
The Department of Agriculture has
made extensive tests with tar and a re-
port of the office of public roads is very
favorable as to the cost, ease of applica-
ton and results. IT then there be any
merit in Tarvia and the manufacturers
can substantiate their claims the coun-
Gil and taxpayers of Wausau ought to
investigate this fully. The best is none
too good for Wausau Certain it is
that all will not be satisfied, but an en-
deavor to do the best is, to say the least,
worthy of commendation.
| have instructed the Chicago office
of this concern to mail you. some of
their printed matter. | realize that this
is advertising matter and it must be
considered as such. but committee in
vestigation will give further knowledge,
either favorable or adverse.

BIDS REJECTED

The public property committee of the

purpose of considering amended bids
for the construction of the poor house.
As before, they were twisted in every
conceivable shape by the committee,
the lowest bid for construction work
only being added to the lowest bid for
plumbing. etc., and still it was found
that the building could not be con-
structed at price that will come with

again and decided to reject all bids and
wait tor further instructions from the
county board. The bids submitted on
