The Result of Hearing Before the

Wisconsin Railroad
Commission.
A decision of local interest in Mineral
Point was made by the railroad COM

this decision the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railway company is ordered
to reconstruct and make safe and con
venient for public travel bridge upon
the public highway and upon the rail
ways right of way about one mile from
this city.
The law has long been plain that
where public highway crosses rail
way the railway company must con-
struct the highway within their right
of way; but the courts had never pass
ed upon the construction of a wagon
bride where stream crosses the high
way within the railroads right of way
This point being in dispute between
the town of Mineral Point and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
company, the case was taken before the
railroad commission by Fielder &
Fielder, attorneys for the town, board
consisting of Reuben Ellsworth, M. F.
Schaaf and David Potterton, and a
hearing was had on the 18th day of
September, 1911. A decision has now
been rendered requiring the railway to
construct the bridge in dispute within

The greatest problem which confronts
the economists and the social workers Of
America today is the problem Of the city.
Every year the population of the cities
is increasing and that of the counties
diminishing. Men are deserving the
country in droves to come into the city.
They are leaving the green fields for the
dirty highways, the clear atmosphere for
the pollution of the city, and with every
new recruit the problem of handling
them and the vice which grows among
them becomes more difficult and more in
tricate.
