LOCATION OF THE new LIGHTS
Ladysnith's Streets VIII Soon Be
Much Better Lit Up

The work of putting up eleven
more street lights in various places
in this city where they are badly
needed will be commenced at once
and will when finished result in a
marked Improvement in the lighting
OF the city's thorougifares. The
new lamps will be located as follows:
Corner of Lake-av and West Third
st.
Railroad crossing on COrbett-av.
Sabin-av, near railroad crossing
on street leading to F1ambeau mills.
Third-st east, near railroad track.
Third-st east and Adams-av.
Fourth-st east and Sabin-av.
Sabin-av, between Frank Sheerin's
and B. H. Boones place 8.
Lindoo-av and East Tenth
One at corner southwest from pea
canning factory
Two across the river in Brooklyn" :"
one at Stroup's corner and one OH top
of hill near Geo Diedrich's place.
Under the new contract all lamps
in the city must be 5o0.watt The
old contract specified 480-watt lamps,
we are Informed.

ing facts the Council is of the opinion
that the public interests are fully
safegaurded, and that the awarding q
the contract was but the sane, reason
able and proper thing.
Various portions OF the city are in
great need Of more lights. Some of
the citizens who live close to good
street light think that there is no
need of prompt action TO reach the
more remote unlighted streets and
install lights thereon, but the Council
considers the rights of the citizens
on some of the remote and dark
streets Just as sacred as those Of the
men who live in the down town"
district. AS rapidly as workmen can
make the extensions there will be
placed in the locations most in need,
not fewer than ten additional 500
Watt street lights.

Numbering CT School, Districts
In few instances there seems to
be a misunderstanding regarding the
number that should be given to a
school district At the time q new
district is formed by the town board
of supervisors, the supervisors give
the district a number and in combin-
ing two or more districts the number
given should be that OF the district
in which the school house to be used
is located.
After a number has been determined
upon there is no legal way for chang
ing the number, in fact, the law
states plainly that the number shall
not be changed, either by the town
board, the school board or by any
one.
MS lCStl 1ttioL pli ttiiso1LS dAFo
trict number is to prevent confusion
and error in the distribution of school
materials, the pportionments of
school funds, dictionaries, etc.
It is advisable, therefore, that
school officers iii those districts in
which q change has been contemplate
ed or made, return to the original
number of the district.
The law now requires that before
erecting a new school building the
school board shall secure either from
the state or the county superinten-
dent Of schools an approved plan by
which to build the school house. This
is necessary that the building may
be approved before it is accepted by
the school officers from the contrac-
tors.
The county superintendent's office
is supplied with plans for modern,
sanitary and economical school build
ings and he will be glad to show or
loan them to school boards who con-
template erecting a building
The annual county school board
convention will be held during
October, the exact date to be an
nounced soon. The new law permits
school boards to close their schools
and allow the teachers to attend
without loss Of time. This will be
another good opportunity for our
teachers to better equip themselves
for their work in the district, and
We hope that school boards will look
with favor on the proposition OF let
ting their teachers attend one day.

The premium money awarded to
the school children at the county fair
this fall will be sent them as soon
as the secretary of the fair can get
to the matter, which will probably be
during the month of October.
+ At this time I wish to thank cor
daily the teachers and all the schol
ars who entered into this agricul
tural contest, and | believe that all
who did this feel amply repaid for
their efforts. 1t is our expectation
next season to enter more fully into
industrial and agricultural education,
believing that work Of this nature in
our public schools will result in much
permanent value to cur boys and
girls through life.

to attend both days without loss of

officers are cordially invited to at

linquent blanks are being mailed this
week, if you fail to receive them,
write the superintendent promptly.
Miss Vernia Schweiger and her pu-
pills in district No S. Grant, gave
very profitable ard interesting even
ing session at the school building on
Monday Of last week. A good ex
hibit of grains, and vegetables was
made by the school children. Some of
the exhibits were pronounced as good
as was seen at the county fair this
fall
A short program consisting OF
arithmetic and spelling contests was
given, in the latter of which Lucille
Dean carried off the hoEors by spell
ing the school down. A considerable
number of the parents, and several
parties from Ladysmith, attended and
enjoyed the exercises and agricultural
display. V. Y: Miller, clerk of the
district, passed around a liberal supply
of choice peaches just before the adj
journment. Many of our rural schools
could easily provide an exhibit that
would stimulate the children to good
work in this direction.
Because of surplus of teachers
this fall several of our number have
gone to the Dakotas to teach, as
wages are somewhat better there
than in Wisconsin Among those
gone are Stella and Jennie Wallace,

ON LIGHT SITUATION
CITY COMMISSIONERS MAKE A
STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC
RESENT UNREASONABLE ATTACKS
Comparison cf 1903 and the New
Contract Entered Into

For the past few days the new con
tract for electric lights which the cou
ell recently made with the Ladysmitt
Lighting Company has been the sub
ject of some somment on the streets
and was made the object of attack
by the Rusk County Journal in the
issue of Sept. 25. 1913. A few days
before the Journals startling headline
proclaimed news of new contract
etc etc.-sOmeone else who was TOO
cowardly to come out in the open
caused to be circulated about the
city an anonymous letter that told til
people a lot of rot intended to
cast stigma upon the acts of the
council, and to cause the inference
that the public interest had been
much neglected. Anonymous letters
are characteristic of the BLACK
Hand and of the Anarchist" and
should not be given weight by good
citizens.
The Journals article of Sept 25
1913, shows that the writer of it was
looking through green goggles, be-
cause it is practically all off color.
This article is misleading in many
ways, and absolutely makes false
statements with reference to the
Special Meeting" at which the con-
tract was awarded. In three places
it alludes to the Special Meeting of
the Council at which the contract wa
rushed through. The fact is that
the contract was consummated at an
adjourned Regular Meeting The adj
journment was taken for the purpose
OF allowing additional opportunity for
all persons interested to see the con-
tract that had been modified from
the proposition which had been sub
mitted in July, and which original
proposition had been on exhibition
for about six weeks.
Persons known to be opposed to a
contract with the Lighting Company
We're interviewed and invited %
offer suggestions and to be present at
the Adjourned Regular Meeting at
which the proposed contract was
made a special order for considera-
ton None came.
After the Council had studied the
question of Lights for Ladysmith, and
had gotten as much information as
it could get with the facilities avail
able, it could see no good reason why
it should not enter into new con-
tract with the Lighting Company Tn
Council has no enemies to punish. It's
one purpose is to give this city the
best and most economic government
possible under our conditions.

NEW CONTRACTING Co.
EXCITING INTEREST
One of Its Corporafors is Charles H. Burrs, Brother
of , Levy Court Commissioner, and il Has
Opened Headquarters Next TO the
County Engineers Office

the primary interest in Il OF Levy
Court Commissioner Burris, the pres
ent interest OF his brother, the cir
cumstances surrounding its incorpor-
alton, and the fact that il has open
ed its headquarters next to the Office
of the county engineer, have served
to excite in this company and its op-
erations a public interest which it
doubtless would not have excited had
those features been absent.
OF course, il may be possible that
there is no purpose on the part of
those interested to try to get county
contracts. Thus far it has mani
tested no desire for such work either
upon county bridges. roads or build
ings. II is no secret, however, that
certain public-spirited citizens have
been watching the operations OF the
Levy Court with more than usual in
terest since this company was in
corporated and opened its headquar-
ters next to the office Of the county
engineer. The recent Legislature en-
powered the Levy Court to expend
$3.50 600 for the new bridge across the
Christisna river, $4,000 in transform
ing the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
bridge across the Brandywine into a
bridge for public traffic. and 5000, 900
for tho building and repair of public
highways, these being in addition 10
its current expenditures OF large
amounts of money. and II is conceded
that all that work means rich pick
ings for those who may be so fortu-
nate as to receive the contracts and
sub-cOntracts.

That the Police Department is not

during the past week policemen have

II has been contended that the pos

first thing the raiders take is the gov
