ROADS
PROVING POPULAR
They Are Low in Cost When Maintenance of Macadam is
Considered-Some Figures Given.

AT one time mf cadam was the
standard of co lstfuction AMI gave
splendid service under horse drawn
traffic. The change from horse drawn
to motor driven traffi Z, however, has
caused macadam TO fall. An example
of this is New jerseys once splendid
road system which is now in peril of
complete destruction. The repair
charges on the mscadam mileage in
this state amounted to $600,000.0O in
1907 and in 1911 it amounted to al
most $l,600,000.00. Other states have
suffered similarly and the average
cost of maintenance, annually, in the
East ranges from $4,000 to 100000
per mile.
On account of the change from
horse to automobile, road builders
have about come to the conclusion
that concrete is the proper material
where there is excessive travel. Last
fan in the town of Fairfield a section
Of road was built with concrete and
The residents there report that 1t
stood the winter we'll. A portion of
the Baraboo-K -Kilbourn road may also
be improved with cement. Some
firms state that concrete can be laid
for SIS, 900 mile and the average cost
of maintenance is about $500 per
mile On the other hand macadam
is S., 900 or more a mile and the cost of
maintenance is $40O or more mile.
These figures may vary according to
the cost of material which largely de-
pends upon its proximity to the road
to be built or repaired. Sauk county
is fortunate in having an abundance
of quartzite rock but this in time
shows wear and the road must be re.
built The future may bring still an
other form of road building, who can
tell.

Parade Is
Good From
End to End

The parade this year Of the Barnum
& Bailey show surpasses that
of any yet seen, says the Billboard.
It is newly costumed from end to end.
Among the features of the parade is a
new calliope which is run by COM
pressed air and ladies' band which
is conducted by Mrs. E. Butler. Last
week in Brooklyn marked an epoch
in the history of the Greatest Show on
earth for record business, the "big top"
playing to capacity every afternoon
and night. The fine weather tended
to make it an ideal circus week.

VALUATIONS Of
COUNTY TO RAISE
Instructions of Income Tax
Assessor to Boost
Values.
TRUE VALUE is SOUGHT
Assessors Are Puzzled as
to the Place to Begin the
Task.
TRUE VALUE is SOUGHT

The county assessor of incomes has
notified the assessors of the county
to bring all valuations up to the true
level. This means that many of the
towns must be given big boost and
the cities and villages an increase also.
The assessors are puzzled as to the
place to begin and find it no easy task.
The state tax commission urges that
this be done and unless 1t is done
new assessment may be asked as in5the
Janesville case. The district reassessed
must pay the expenses and that is not
pleasant. To bring Baraboo up to
what is desired by the higher officials
means that about 81 100000 must be
added somewhere. The valuation of this
city assessed last year was 81 ,O35, 499.
To sprinkle 81 100000 equally over the
city assessable property is a task that
is not an easy one.

At the present time the UniIed
States is in an epoch of ro ID building.
The American public has come to a
realizatisn that good roads are a ne
cessity and roads are being built all
over the country to a greater extent
than at any other period in the ma
tons history. There are some 1000,
900 miles of roadway in the United
States Of this total 100000 miles
carry 80 to 80 percent OF the traffic.

Will Raise the Values.

T. J. Bergan, assessor Of incomes in
Richland county, has prepared a
table showing the 1912 ratio of valu-
alton to the true value in that county.
The differences are astonishing. In
that county the following table shows

vironment."
There IL no stupid child. The stu
pid child IL child receiving an ed
ucation unsuited to it"
give children a chance to expand
according to their individual temper
aments."
"Observe children as you do flow
