derness. no regular streets anywhere.
draymen and others drove through the
school yard and in all directions, and
not much attention was paid to that
part of the city, but in the year men
toned the west side" became a ward,
through Judge Groesbeck's work in
the Legislature. The first representa-
tive for the ward was myself. and
partly through my influence bitches
were dug. streets graded, culverts put
in at all crossings, under supervision
of Charles Bellamy, who was at that
time city engineer.
Carroll as a Patriot.
Our deceased friend, Mike Carroll
a pioneer and a noble man, who took
a great interest in the welfare of our
beloved little burg, and as a friend
and neighbor of mine, he gave the
city permission to erect a ditch
through his field to carry off water In
case Of floods into the river. There Is
no question but that was the bes1
thing ave- done for the people living
in the vicinity of Grand avenue ant

of the proposed cutoff OF the Union
Pacific from Platteville, below Gree
