Street Committee Finds I'm
perfect Pipe Being Used
on Milwaukee Ave.
CITY MAY SUPPLY FUTURE PIPE

Work on the sewer being built by
the city on Milwaukee avenue (form-
erly Union street, was stopped on
Monday afternoon by the city engineer
acting for the street assessment COM
mittee on account of the TACT that the
committee held that tho pipe being
used in the construction Of the sewer
was not up to the grade demanded in
the contract. Michael Steinbach has
the contract for the sewer and the
pipe is being supplied by former Al
derman George R. Wade. The contract
calls for No. pipe and the contractor
and the dealer both declare that the
pipe being used was wholly up! to the
specifications, but the committee after
examining the pipe condemned it.
The city engineer after making an in
spection threw out between twenty and
thirty pieces of the tile as imperfect.
1t is probable that arrangements to
secure new tile will be made today and
that the work on the street will be
held up for only a short time. 1t is
proposed to pave this portion Of the
avenue during the coming season and
for this reason the contractors are
anxious to get the sewer in as soon
as possible. Alderman Rhode, who was
active in stopping the work on the
sewer, viii urge the council in the
future to purchase all pipe to be used
in the building of sewers and secure
bids only ON the work of laying the
pipe. 1t is declared that in the past
second hand pipe has been used in sew
eral sewers built in the city and while
this pipe may be just as good for all
practical purposes it is not what the
contract calls for. 1t is thought that
the plan of having the city purchase
the pipe would result in material
reduction in the cost of sewers built
in the city.

State Civil Service Commits.
sion Report Shows Vast
Amount of Work Done.
MANY OFFICES UNDER SERVICE
Many Changes Being Made in Appoint
ment of Officials of Charitable and
Penal Institutions in state-Number
of Chances Increase.

Compared with other commissions,
the volume of business done by the
Wisconsin Civil Service Commission.
IN proportion to number of employees
and appropriation, is large. The COM
mission has gathered data and COM
piled a statement showing the extent
OF its activities and accomplishments.
Since the law went into effect in
January, 1906, there has been steady
increase in the number of departments
and officers and employees. As against
1927 officers and employees in 1906,
there are now 1882. The total in
crease is largely due to the growth
of the university, which in 1906 had
552 professors, instructors and en-
ployes, and in 1912 had 1854; and
to the creating Of the following new
departments.
Board of immigration, tuberculosis
sanatorium, department of state fire
marshal, state highway commission,
state board of public affairs, revisor
of statutes, teachers pension board,
joint department created by the rail
road and tax commissioners.
Among other departments existing
in 1906, the most notable increase in
number Of employees is that of the
railroad commission.
The figures show that Of GAS officers
and employees now in the service of
designated capitol department, 327,
or more than so per cent, have been
in the service less than two years,
and only 154, or about Is per cent,
were in the service when the civil
service law went into effect. Changes
in penal and charitable institutions
are much more frequent. These figures
explain in part why the volume of
business of the commission is large.
The Milwaukee civil service COM
mission examined S24 persons in 1910.
The total number of persons on the
Milwaukee payroll is 5000. The state

In this connection it should be noted
that, except potatoes, the farm

in Wisconsin than in either of the
other states and that none of the
others grow potatoes to sell.

Stop for moment and figure what
the Calsium Carbonate of the Dolomite
Limestone is going to cost. The other
elements are practically valueless to
you. We find that these other ele-
menfs abound in Wisconsin soils and it
has been found from experiment that
an excess of Magnesia in the soil is a
detriment to the plant. Figure the
original cost--the cost of hauling,
handling, spreading and the long de-
lay due to the sloNness of action. Soil
Tonic is almost absolutely pure-it
comes to you in 100 lb. bags and every
pound is Of value, fine enough to take
almost instant effect on sour soil.
Do not be deceived by someone trying

as good.
We would be pleased to purchase
several hundred tons and pay $500

April 1st, delivery, ii we could secure
material equivalent to Soil Tonic. We

Kenosha County.
1881 1912!

1t seems to me that well situated
farmer in Kenosha county would do
well to stay there, but if he must move
then let him go into one of the upper
Wisconsin counties where land is yet
cheap and where he can produce as
shown above from unquestionable sta
tistics, crops unexcelled anywhere.
For the purpose-eof illustrating the
productive power Of Wisconsin land as
compared with that of heavily adver-
tised sections, | will now take three
upper Wisconsin counties, not included
in the above, selecting them as repre-
senting different portions of the upper
country, viz-Forest, Taylor and Doug
las counties and compare their crops,
using census yields and April, 1912,
United States Crop Reporter prices,
with advertised Counties and sections,
as follows (including crops as actual
ly grown;
Average, three Wis. counties. .$4S.19
Fergus county, Montana ....... 22.38
Valley county, Montana ....... 1858
Kit Carson county, Colo. 49,. 1867
Grant county, Oklahoma ....... 140S
Sherman county, Kansas ....... 99s
Panhandle of Texas ........ 687
Central Oregon ............... 14.55

be difficult for the Wisconsin man to
see his way clearly to remain in the
state.
