THE new ROAD LAW
STATE ROADS BUILT BY TOWN,
COUNTY AND STATE JOINTLY
COUNTY ROAD LAW ABOLISHED
Work Done by Contract Under Direc-
tion of County Commissioner and
State Commission


The much talked of state road meas
ure has at last become law. If its
value IS proportionate to its length it
should prove an effective means of
getting good roads, for it fills nearly
five newspaper columns of fine print.
In general way it provides for the
joint improvement of highways by the
state, county and town, and for the
ultimate assumption by the county of
the maintenance and control of all
completed roads.
A state highway commission is es-
tabNshed, consisting of the State Geoi-
ogist, the Dean of the University En-
gineering College, and three members
to be appointed by the governor.
These commissioners will receive no
salary, so may be expected to occupy
the position of dignified figure heads.
The present county highways will
hereafter be called state highways,
and no additions can be made to pre-
sent systems of prospective county
highways without the consent of the
state commission. Funds for the i'm
provement of prospective state high
ways are to be contributed as follows:
by the state, one third the cost of
road Improvement and one fifth the
cost of bridges, the balance to be paid
by the town and the county, the coun-
ty to pay at least as much as the
town. When given road has been
completed in manner satisfact ory to
the state commission, it may be
adopted by the county as state high
way, and thereafter will be under sole
control of the county.
When a town votes to improve a
portion of the prospective state high
way in its territory, the county must
contribute an equal amount, and the
state will furnish it's share in the pro-
portions above stated, provided there
is enough money in the highway fund.
If the state highway fund runs short,
Cs1NA SpullIy VIII SCC CiiC dllIOuuC III pays
into such road fund through taxation,
if it asks for that much. If any coun-
ties fail to ask for their fun proportion
Of the state fund, that part of their
shares not called for will be appor-
toned among counties which request
more than their respective shares.

exercise of ingenuity on the part of
the authors to puzzle the ordinary
man, and make him think the law
offers chance to get something for
nothing. The actual result in practice
probably will be that each county will
get from the state exactly what it
pays into the fund. In effect it will

BIGGEST CELEBRATION
LADYSMITH WILL DOUBLE ALL
FORMER EFFORTS
PRIZES REVISED AND ENLARGED
Fatter Prizes, Bigger Parade, More
Music, Larger Crowd than
Ever Before

Indications are that, Notwithstanding
numerous lesser celebrations all arounc
US, there will be one of the biggest
crowds in Ladysmith on the Fourth
that the city has ever witnessed. AnC
a greater effort is being made to please
the visitors than ever before; almost
twice the amount of money has beer
subscribed for this purpose, and it is
being expended with greater care by
the committees.
Over $100. 90 will be paid out in prizes.
Since the publication of the program
last week, the committee has revised
the list of free-for-all races, increasing
the amount of the prize offered in al
most every instance.
Double the amount will be expended
for fireworks this year than for any
previous celebration in Ladysmith, and
the assortment is being more carefully
selected. 1t is believed that this dis
play will excel anything ever before
seen in this section of the country.
The river is now clear of logs and
more interest will be taken in the river
sports than ever before. Ladysmith' s
flotilla of twenty launches will all be
out for the evening program.
The Fire Department will be an un-
usual attraction this year, both in their
races and in the parade bearing the
silver trumpet won at Ft. Atkinson.
Three of the boys will also be attired
as they were at the State Tournament
-"Pa, Ma and Me from Ladysmith :"
Fred Speieh will be home to run in the
coupling contest with August Simon.
There is talk of putting up a prize
for trotting race, Ed Hunt, living
north of the city, having challenged
the county for an OK that will out-trot
his driven single to buggy. This race
will undoubtedly come off, as there are
a number of oxen in this vicinity brok-
en- to drive single, and it will be worth
coming miles to see.

THREE FIRSTS AND TWO SECONDS
Track Team .Banqueted Upon Their
Return Home

Our Fire Ladies' certainly "pu
Ladysmith on the map" at the annua
State Tournament at Fort Atkinson
last week. In addition to the races
won Thursday, as mentioned in the
News Budget last week, they won the
Hub-and- Hub Hose race on Friday
Three first prizes, two seconds and one
fourth, with prizes aggregating S187. co.
is record to be proud of.
The winning of the silver trumpet
has inspired an enthusiasm in the
track team and it will be up to then
| to defend it for the next two years il
it is to be permanently retained.
| Chief D. F. Manley having won the
| Chiefs race last year, was barred
from competing this year.
The following officers were elected
Chas. Hawks, Horizon, president; D.
| F. Manley, Ladysmith, first vice;
John O'Connell, S. Milwaukee, seconC
vice; Fred H. Henry, Jefferson, re-
cording secretary; R. Bendig, Fr. At
kinson, treasurer.
Not as many teams were competing
as at the tournament held at Lady
smith two years ago, there being but
two Hook and Ladder and three Hose
companies represented.
The track team returned home Satur-
day morning and banquet was given
at Kilgore's restaurant in their honor
Saturday evening, when thirty mem
bers of the Department were present.
Secretary French announced that the
books showed that the silver trumpet
won this year was what they had been
working for six years and had cost over
$4,000, but it would only cost couple
of hundred more to defend it the next
two years. The team this year was
made up of younger men than any
former team sent to the tournament.
The victory also is evidence of the abil-
ty of Captain Vincent Kurz in handling
a team.

SUICIDE ON MAPLE HILL
Joseph Kodetek, Aged 81, Ends His
Life with Hemp String

Joseph Kodetek, Aged 81, Ends His
Life with Hemp String
While temporarily deranged, Monday
morning, Joseph Kodetek, aged 81
years, resident of the Maple Hill
settlement east of this cityf committed
suicide by hanging. He went to work
at the usual hour in the Paper mill and
helped unload truck-load of pulp in
thespulp p room. He then left the mill,
taking with him about ten feet of
hemp cord, such as is used for tying
bundles of paper.
A short time afterward Dewey Stan
ton, boy of IL years who was herding
couple of cows, discovered him hang
ing by the neck to a three-inch sapling
to which the cord had been attached
about seven feet from the ground, at
the corner of two of the new streets
recently cleared by the M. w. w. Co.
The boy said woman was with him
when he saw him first.
The rope was severed by VIM. Jank-
osky, who arrived on the scene soon
afterward, but life was extinct.
Mr.. Kodetek was native of Bohem-
la, having come to this country less
than year ago. 1t is said that he
made similar attempts to end his life
in the old country. He leaves widow
and two grown sons, the eldest of
whom has lived here for several years.
