TO BE OR NOT TO rE7
Sh all the Intent Of the Late County Board
be Carried Out!

There appears to be not a little of
gossip ahoat in the community regard
ing possible halt in building operations
in connection with the new county jail
and sheriff S residence, which were pro-
vided for by the late county board.
There have been demonstrations of dis
approval since the construction was de-
cided upon, and now new complication
had arisen because of the fact that the
vote authorizing the tax levy for that
purpose is found TO be defective in that
one less than two-thirds vote was had
in ordering loGn from tine state trust
funds. From this defect it is certain
it is certain that land commissit ners
will not feel warranted in furnishing
the money, and the question now is how
shall the building committee proceed?
Contracts have been entered into with
builders. and unless they shall be will
ling to surrender their lawful rights
they will doubtless proceed with the
work. Shall the board be convened in
special session or trust to the wisdom
of the next regular session to make
settlement with contractors in case they
proceed with their plans?- that is the
question. 1t is talked that counsel has
been engaged to contest the jail build
ing matter. What good can come of
such obstruction? The CENSOR does
not believe it the pa. of wisdom to in
volve the county in expensive litigation
over a matter that must eventually be
carried through. The legal and the
proper course should be pursued and
cool counsel prevail.

During the past three weeks Viroqua
has been the hub for lively merchandise
ing. From every quarter of the COM
pass people have flocked here to take
advantage of the special inducements
submitted hv our dealers, and as a re-
suit the town has been a beehive, ev-
erybody taking bite from the general
crust. Those dealers who put on spe-

In this crush of customers the CENSOR

the desired effect. And this is no idle

very satisfactory year it has been on
the whole. A little more support given
