COUNTIES MAY NOT
GET HIGHWAY FUND
SEVERAL HELD NOT ENTITLED
re FULL ALLOTMENT
FROM STATE
PROVISIONS OF LAW IGNORED
Neglect of Freeholders 20 Petition
Their Town Boards for Specific Inn
provements Makes the Receipt OF
Aid From State Doubtful.

Madison Chairman John A. Ha-
sion states that it is probable that
several of the counties in the south
ern part of the state would fail to get
their full allotment of the $l,200,OOO
appropriated by the legislature for
state aid for highway construction
this year because freeholders have
failed to petition their town boards
asking for the improvement Of sssci-
lied roads.
The chairman said, however, that
many freeholders were now taking
advantage of the so-called Force"
provision Of the highway law which
enables them TO compel the improve
ment of any portion of the county sys-
TEN of roads by filing petition with
the town board requesting that the
improvements be made, together with
receipt from the town treasurer
showing that so per cent OF the
towns share of the estimated cost
Of the improvement has been paid.
Under this provision any group OF
freeholders who offer to pay one
sixth of the cost of an improvement
can compel the town, county and
state to pay the remaining five-sixths.
These petitions must be filed with
the town boards before Aug Is.
Chairman Hazelwood is making a
tour of the southern part of the state
by automobile in order to inspect i'm
provements now being made and to
explain to freeholders that their
counties are likely to lose their full
allotment of state aid unless they
act before Aug 10.
He said that the commission ex-
pected there would be 1000 miles of
new road built in the state during the
present year, which, when finished.
will make total of 1900 miles con-
structed under supervision OF the
commission.

1850 MILE HIKE FOR HEALTH
Thomas o'Brien Of Rhinelande. Re-
turns Home from Portland,
Oregon, on Foot.

Rhinelander-Thom O'Br.en, a
brother of John O'Brien of the Rhine
lander police department, has arrived
in Rhinelander after walking from
Portland, Ore, to Auburndale. Wis, a
distance of 1850 miles.
O'Brien, young man, suffered a
paralytic stroke few years ago and
for long time his entire left side was
practically useless. Medical treatment
gave him little relief and over year
ago he went from this city to Portland
where he thought the climate would
improve his condition. Acting on the
advice of friend that walking might
benefit him and probably restore his
former health, O'Brien left Portland
March 8 on the first stage of his long
hike to Wisconsin.
His entire capital was five cents. He
carried :. pack containing bed cloth.
ing, underwear and other necessaries,
the weight of which was about fifty
pounds. At each city visited he work ed
and secured enough money to pay his
expenses.
O'Brien was four months on his re-
markable jaunt. He covered on an
average of thirty-five miles per day
and spent seven weeks in actual walk
ing.
O'Brien has found that his feat of
pedestrianism has almost relieved him
of his paralysis and he hopes for a
complete cure.

the executive desk of all but one as

Gov. McGovern today vetoed the
Manning bill authorizing the city of
Milwaukee to issue fifty-year bonds
for the purchase of land for any pur-
pose. This is the bill which Atty
Gen. Owen held to be unconstitu.
tional.
Gov McGovern has vetoed twenty
two bills and has been sustained in
every one so far as legislative action
has been had upon them. The nearest
to fluke in this regard was when the
assembly OVERRIDE the executive OBJ
lection to the Bowe bill providing for
the reorganization of tile board of uni
versity visitors. The senate, however,
in that case stood by the executive
and supported the veto.
Among those signed by the governor
today was the Viebahn bill providing
