GRAND AVENUE gACADAM AT
COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT.
Expensive Job Charged to Dlscord on
lhe Board of Public Works.

ihe Board OF Public works.
There promises to be a lively time al
the meeting of the city council tonight
over the macadam assessment recently
made on Grand Ave. aad Forest street
Two petitions have been circulated
and generally signed by the property
owners along the above streets, asking
for re-assessment
One petition by the residents of Grand
avenue. between the two bridges, does
not 60 into the details of the justice OF
the tax, as whole, but asks for reduc-
ton of their tax, because the street rail-
way company is using over half the
street with a switch track, while only
paying for the space used by an eight
foot track
The other petition recites that the
property owners paid for macadam
a few years ago and now because the
street railway tore up the street and
necessitated new macadam, it is not
fair to ask the property to again bear
the full expense of a re-macadam.
1t seems that the petitioners have con-
siderable cause for complaint. The
original macadam was laid in 1901, a
width of twenty feet, the cost to the
property owners beng $15 IS for 60
foot lot. The macadam on Forest street
and on that part of Grand avenue south
OF the railroad bridge was good piece
of work. When the sewer was put In,
south of the track last year, the con-
tractors were allowed to tear up and
not restore the street and most of the
macadam went to the bottom of the
sewer ditch. Then came the street
railway and while only using an eight
foot strip with its ties, the six-foot
macadam on each side of its right-of-
way was practically destroyed and the
street left in an almost impossible con-
dition all winter. The new .macadam
was ordered laid the full width of the
street by the council and was a very ex-
pensive job, the cost being S13, 707 as
for total of 26, SAG square yards. while
the total cost of all macadam work for
1906 was $13, 25S Is for total of 81, S25
square yards,
The board of public works, after de-
Quoting the cost of the 8-foot right-of-
way to the street railway company,
divided the remainder equally between
the city at lalse and the property The
cost to the latter being $4,000 for a 60
foot lot. AS this is the basis used for
new work and as the re.macadam was
not made necessary by any fault of the
residents along the street it seems that
they are justified in their objections. 1t
seems that the property owners should
not be asked to again pay for the 20 feet
originally paid for The cost Of extra
catch basins Gan item always paid by
the city, has also been charged against
this macadam job, and the residents
claim that the cost of filling the wash
out is also in the BILL They further
charge that the extreme cost of the
work is largely due to internal friction
on the board of public works, and that
the city comptroller on one side and the
mayor and city engineer on the other,
have not been on speaking terms for a
losing time, and that the result of this
lack of harmony and cooperation on
the board has been an expensive one to
the taxpayers all over the city.

PRESIDENT W. o. CARRIER.

w. o. Carrier, president of Carroll
college, Waukesha. spent Sunday in
Wausau and occupied the pulpit in the
Presbyterian church in the evening.
The main floor of the auditorium was
filled with old friends of DR.. Carrier,
but we doubt if there would have been
room in the church for all if it had been
generally known that he was to speak.
Mr.. Carrier had been to Cincinnati to
attend the Brotherhood convention and
gave some of his impressions Of that
great meeting of some 1900 men who
had gathered to discuss questions of inn
portance relative to church work. Mr.
Carriers outline of the proceedings of
that convention was an hours talk that
could be heard from every pulpit in
Wisconsin, Dr., Carrier is not only an
able and intensely interesting speaker
but there is, perhaps, no greater organ
iZer in our state than he. His talk on
Sunday night was filed with interest
ing points, tending to show how
churches may be made stronger, and
workers added to the army of christian
ity. The PILoT might give brief
synopsis of what DR.. Carrier said, but
it feels that it could not do it Justice
DR.. Carrier returned to his home in
Waukesha on Monday morning.

DIES MONIES Dec. a.--Cspecial.) -Infor-
nation reached Des Moines today that the
score or more Of clerks and stencgraphers
who went from this city to North Dakota
TO take up homestead claims are starving
and freezing TO death. Miss Lena watrous,
who was a stenographer and ONCE Eirl for
DIT. L. d. Rood Of this city, has written TO
friends here, telling OF the conditions. In
order to get letter to their friends Miss
watrous drove forty miles to Phillips, N.
D., to mail a letter written by Mrs. A. f.
Pritehard, wife Of a Sioux City street car
motorman, and to get provisions. The let
ter OF Mrs. Pritchard was sent on to Dos
Moines to the relatives OF the Des Moines
people who are there, A score or more
of young women OF this city who were
ONCE clerks and stenographers went to
North Dakota last spring to take UP home
stead claims. They built little Sx10 houses.
The point where they are located is forty
miles from any railroad and, provisions
being hard to get, they had nothing but
gasoline stoves and a limited supply OF
provisions. BY remaining on the land till
January 1 they will have been there the re-
quired length OF time, eight months, neces-
sary before proving up and getting their
land. The weather up there, II IL reported,
had been mild ana pleasant up Till re-
Gently and being anxious to finish all re-
quirements for getting the land they have
remained there. Recently blizzard snow
bound them and cut OF their opportunities
for getting provisions and fuel Most Of
the colony from this city are women. AS
a matter of fact, great many of the
women are married. and under the law
cannot take up homestead claims. They
are trying TO do 30 for their husbands.
For this reason they have been guarded
about letting their condition be known till
now for fear the government will ascertain
the facts. The difficulties OF this colony
are distinct from the troubles of the peo-
pie in North Dakota who are lacking fuel
and for whom the government is now maxi
ing an effort TO get the railroads to take
coal in. There are a large number in the
colony with the Des Moines people from
other Iowa cities. Miss Helen Huntley of
Marshalltown is one Of these Nearly all
in the colony are from Iowa.
