Have Adopted New System.
Says Bulletin.

Madison.-About one-half of the

taken advantage of the law passed

ings affirmative action on this propo-
sition, according to the state high
way commission, was taken by the
following counties:
Ashland. Barron, Buffalo, Chippe-
wa, Columbia, Dane, Douglas, Eau
Claire, Florence, Grant, Green, Green
Lake, Juneau, Kenosha, Lafayette,
Lincoln, Marinette. Pierce, Portage,
Price, Racine, Rock, Richland, Wau-
