City is Victorious.

City Attorney c. A. Kading was at
Jefferson Wednesday to argue demurrer
which he interposed to the complaint
in the case of Margaret D. Lyons
against the city of Watertown. The
complaint asks for $2O59 damages to
her property on the corner of West
Main and Fremont streets on account
Of the sidewalk grade established in
connection with her property and the
sidewalk built by the city.
The city attorney demurred to the
complaint on the ground that it did
not state that Mrs. Lyons had filed a
claim against the city with the city
council, which step is required by
law.
Judge Grimm sustained the demur-
rer with costs against Mrs. Lyons.
In order to begin over it will be
necessary for her to first file her
claim with the common council for
attention. John T. Kelly, ex-city at
torney of Milwaukee, was the attor-
ney for Mrs. Lyons.

To the Editor Of the Leader:

To the Editor Of the Leader:
/ shall not reply in detail to the letter
of w. X. III. in last weeks Leader, be-
cause the letter is, believe, its own best
rpfutatiOn. Beneath the sweeping de-
malls, the far=fetched laudatiOns, the eX-
trayagant Misrepresentation of W. K.
H., there exists a condition of things
which no words can fippantly white
wash. There is crying need of regu-
latiOn and reform. [ am more than ever
convinced that it is time to call halt.
1t is high time, repeat, to reduce the
number of saloons; to pass an ordinance
to compel the saloons to close at a rea-
sonable hour at night. 1t is high time
that something be done to enforce the
Sunday closing law; high time, indeed,
to stop the sale of liquor to minors. The
citizens are beginning to realize the
need of these regulations. Let them
wake up to their own interests, the in
terests of their children and the inter-
ests of the community at large. They
can give concrete expression to their
wishes by voting, at the next election,
only for those men who believe in civic
decency.

A MASSMEET|NG FOR
GOOD ROADS is HELD
MATTER DISCUSSED AT CITY
HALL MONDAY AFTERNOON
of the New Law is Ex-
planned by John A. HdZelWOOd.
Chairman of State Highways
Commission = Milwaukee Cen
tlemen Present at Meeting.

A good roads massmeeting was at
| tended by a large assemblage of
farmers and citizens in the city hall
Monday afternoon, called at o'clock.
The meeting was called to order by
H. Wertheimer, president of the Ad-
vancement association, who after
brief address introduced Mr.. Guido
Hansen of Milwaukee, who has been
connected with the repair of the road
way between Oconomowoc and Mil
waukee, and gave the audience the
benefit of his experience.
Mayor H. G. CRUDE was present on
the speakers platform and took part
in the proceedings.
Hon. John A. Hazelwood, chairman
of the state highways commission,
was the next speaker. He defended
the state aid policy in the building of
good roads, and incidentally remark
ed that in the end the people paid for
it, like the consumer who pays the
tariff eventually. He said a like pol
icy with respect to the schools placed
them upon higher plane than under
the old system and made Wisconsin
one of the foremost if not the fore
most in the country in it's school sys-
tenn.
He said that Jefferson county was
the banner county of the state, as the
first one to come under the provis-
ions of 1907 law which give state aid
for the building of roads and since
then the county has expended about
$4,000 in the work
He contended that the main roads
tributaries afterwards.
Road Builders Present.
Present at the meeting were
Messrs Emil Schandein and Guido
Hansen, representative of the Ocon-
omowoc- Milwaukee Good Roads asso-
citation. The gentlemen told of the
work accomplished on the highway
between those two cities which is
practically finished for this year. The
cost was betrayed by subscriptions
taken up along the route and from
auto owners interested in the move
ment. The roadway was crowned
and rolled and placed in shape to
shed the water and after some addi-
tional touching up next season will
present smooth and hard surface,
not a macadafn by any means but a
great deal better than the ordinary
country roadway.
The work should now be taken up
between TXOnia and WatertOWn and
the latter city and Waterloo and so on
is the contention of the gentlemen, so
that in a year or two a good roadway
across the state would be the result.
Owing to the fact that the meeting
was called at late hour no other de-
tails of the meeting were available
for publication this afternoon

September Weather FO~CdSt.

A regular storm period is central on
the 3rd extending to the 9th. Very warm
and humid conditions, with south winds
and low barometer. Watch storm de-
velopments on and touching the dates
named, especially in southern extremes.
ReactiOnary storm period is central on
the 9Th, 9th and 10th. On and about the
18th maximum "earth currents" disturb
ing telegraph lines, exciting aurOral
lights and causing seismic shocks, very
naturally reaching crisis over the
globe generally. Look for fierce storms
on or about the 9th and 10th followed by
change to much cooler weather and
frosts to the northward. Seismic period
from 9th to 18th.
Regular storm period from 18th to
10th. This period will bring return of
falling barometer, change to warmer,
cloudiness, rain and thunder, but do not
figure on general or abundant rains at
this time. There will be dangerous gales
with possible tornad0es along the At
lantic and Gulf coasts.
A reaotionary storm period is central
from the 10Th to 22nd. Storms with more
or less violence may be expected at this
time. Change to much cooler about the
22nd to the 25th, first in the west pro-
crossing east and south. A marked
seismic period covers 10Th to 25th, being
central on the 22nd.
Regular storm period covers the last
week of the month. Autumnal storms
will be general with cool nights with
frost in many states as we pass into
October Words and Works.

OVERHAULED BY THE DORM

Fire Fighter Was Given Thorough
Test Wednesday AftCrnO0n-AC
Cepted by Fire Chief and COun-
Gil Committee Changes Make
Steamer fCr More Effective,

The No. Aherns fire engine has re-
Gently been thoroughly overhauled at
plant Of the DOrnfeldKunert Co. and
put in excellent shape. The steamer
was given a thorough trial Wednesday
afternoon ON the Cady street bridge.
The old fire fighter showed marked i'm
provement in every particular, in fact,
so much so, that it was readily accepted
by the chief of the fire department and
city council committee on fire and water.
While undergoing repairs, the engine
was changed quite materially, one eff
fective change being the substitution Of
Mott self circulating coil in the boiler
for the old Ahern coil, which had been
in constant use since the purchase of
engine, all going to make the engine
more effective and 500 pounds lighter.
The job was good one On the part of
the DornfeldKunert Co. and gives cause
for rejoicing that we have such valu
able institution in Watertown.

No More Poor Bridges.

With the beginning of the threshing
season, news items recounting the de-
tails Of accidents caused by weak
bridges and heavy engines have begun
to appear.
The size of traction engines used in
threshing has been steadily increasing,
and with this increase in the size of
engines has come an increased number
OF accidents due to weak bridges. The
Legislature of 1911 recognizing this.
has enacted several laws designed to
make the strength Of bridges built in
the future ample to take care Of any
increase in the loads they may be called
on to carry.
One of these Chapter GAP, Laws of
l9ll) provides that all iron, steel or
concrete bridges with spans of more
than four feet built or repaired in the
state shall be designed to carry, without
planking, all loads up to fifteen tons.
All iron, steel or concrete culverts of
four feet span or less, must be made
safe for all loads up to eighteen tons.
The state aid law (Chapter 337, Laws
of 1911 also contains provisions designed
to improve the grade of bridge work.
This law provides that the state shall
contribute toward the cost of bridges
built on state aid roads. In order to OBJ
tain state aid, these bridges must be
designed by the State Highway Com
mission. This law also requires that
the plans of all bridges built under
county aid shall be approved by the
Commission.
Another enactment the amendment
Of Sec. 1919 of the Statutes) puts the
cost of bridges entitled to receive coun-
ty aid at such low figure $500 in
towns valued at 100000 or more, and
one-twentieth Of one per cent in towns
valued at less than $400,0OO) that prac
tically all bridges built in the future
will be entitled to receive this aid.
By these enactments the Legislature
has imposed upon the Commission the
duty of inspecting the plans of practic-
ally every bridge built in the state
With this supervision the grade of
bridges built must improve. With a
definite standard Of strength ample for
all loads, fixed by law, the Commission
will be in a position to demand good
work. The old wooden bridges, which
cause most of the accidents, are rapidly
becoming thing Of the past. Replaced
with structures OF the strength demand
ed by the law, it should be only few
years until bridge accidents, now so
frequent, will be entirely unknown.

the game to the Goslings to 2. The
game was a fast one as regards time

were hit freely and the both fields

of 'slow" ones with his otherwise
rapid delivery, but had only two
strikeouts to his credit. Schieffer for
the visitors pitched swift ball and
