STREE ImFKOVEM ENIS
The Best Modern Methods Talked
Over at the Commercial Club
Last Friday Evening.

Prof. w. O. Hotchkiss of Madison,
who is secretary of the good roads as
sOciation of Wisconsin. talked on
street improvements at the CONNER
cial club rooms last Friday evening.
He spoke with especial reference to the
materials at hand and the conditions
existing in Mineral Point. The meet
ing was called with a view of consid
ering the best modern methods and
centering public opinion upon some
wise plan to be followed in the future
There were present many representa-
tive citizens and from the interest
manifested it is evident that public
spirit can be aroused in Mineral
Point which will secure for the town
better streets.
Professor Hotchkiss did not in a
general way find fault with the old
methods which had been pursued but
he suggested the better methods now
being tried with good results, and
strongly urged the formulating of
some wise plan for street improve
ments throughout the city; and that
such a plan be followed persistently
for term of years. He spoke of the
material at hand, and said the stones
were of good quality for road making,
and suggested how they could be ad-
vantageously selected for the different
streets-the harder stones for the
streets carrying the heaviest traffic,

tory, please try to see the teachers at
once and learn the reason for the
failure.
The game at Dodgeville last Satur-

out and encourage the boys and help

and the softer stones for the streets of
lighter traffic, where they would pack
together better and serve better than
the harder material.
At the close of the meeting there
was an informal discussion of the
subject by w. A. Jones, n. H. Snow,
James w. Hutchison, James Spens-
ley, Mayor Brown, and others.
No general street Improvements will
be taken up until next spring; but it
is hoped that the work will then be
pursued to the best possible adyan-
tage, to the erd that Mineral Point
may secure good highways at a mini
mum cost. The best are none too
good for Mineral Point.
