The Omaha road is to extend its
brick platform at the union depot as
far along Main street as its right
of way runs, having it take the place
of the old plank walk. Mayor Andrews
and the board of public works has
taken the matter up with the Mil
waukee road of having 1T extend the
brick walk across it's right OF way,
to connect with the walk by the
Saulpaugh. The road ought to do this,
for the old plank walk has gone to
pieces and is dangerous. Such a walk
as it built across the alley on Jack
son street would be just the thing,
and would be permanent and require
no repairing.
Agent Walker has agreed to take
the matter up with Superintendent
| Irwin. Whatever is done should be
done soon, before the ground freezes.
| Game and Fish Warden Jordan did
not meet with much success at Lake

feel like going to any more expense,
as the fishwaJ would not benefit to
it. The village board also does not
care to go to the expense of put
ting in a tishway.
Mr.. Jordan will report the matter
back to Mr.. Avery, the executive agent
of the game and fish commission.
1t would seem as though those in
terested would have to have the work
done by private subscription.
