new ROAD IS PLANNED
D. M. Maxcy Says Road is
to be Built Through
to Superior.

d. M. Maxcy was at Ashland last
Saturday and while there made the
statement to an Ashland News rep
resentative to the effect that road
was soon to be built from this city
to Superior. Mr.. Maxcy said it was
the intention to hold meeting with
Superior people in the near future sc
that work on the proposed highway
can be started next spring. The
Bayfield, county end of the highway
is now practically built and as soon as
a few extensions are made the road
at this end will be complete. The
larger portion of the trunk road tc
be built lies in Douglas county.
Douglas county people last year in
terested themselves in the project
and for some time an investigation
has been carried on and 1t is likely
that they will be ready and willing
to construct their part of the road.
With the new road through to
Superior it will give a direct road
from Superior to Milwaukee, by way
of Washburn.

fled with the equalization as made
by the county board of Bayfield, county

Clerk Nels M. Oscar who will hle
certified copies with the Wisconsin
State Tax Commission. The town
of Barksdale wants reequalization
and redetermination of the value of
property in the towns of Barksdale,
Hughes, Lincoln, Oulu and the city

as placed by the county board. At
torney w. F. Shea of Ashland is the
attorney for the town of Barksdale.
1t is understood that Income As

event that the town of Barksdale is
