ESTHER SCHULZ
DIES SUDDENLY
Passes Away as Sister is Buried
Parents Formerly ReSid-
ed in WdtertOWn.

Miss Esther Schulz, aged q, sister of
the late Mrs. Otto Breidenbach, of Mil
waukee, died at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. F. M. Schulz, Wauwatosa,
yesterday. Death Was caused by pneu-
monia after an illness of ten days.
Mrs. Breidenbach, the sister, died but
few days ago. Her funeral was held
yesterday. 1t was while Miss Esther
was attending her sister, that she was
taken i'll. 1t was thought at first that
she had contracted a slight cold. Her
illness grew critical, however, and al
though several physicians were called
into consultation their efforts were
fruitless.
Miss Esther Schulz graduated from
Milwaukee-Downer college last June.
Mrs. Breidenbach graduated from the
school in 1913.
Both were favorites in their classes
and were prominent in athletics.
Preparations had been made to cele
brate the first wedding anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. Breidenbach. The young
men who acted as ushers at the wedding
on Valentine day, 1914, were paIlbearers
at The funeral yesterday. They were
Otto c. Stephan, Chicago; DR.. Lawrence
Sykes, j. Ward, Fort Atkinson; Stephen
W. and Eugene C. Herthel and Arthur
Breidenbach.
Besides the parents, brother, Her
bert, aged 9, survives.
The parents were formerly residents
of Watertown.

BUILDING RURAL
ROADS A BURDEN
Farmers of the State are BeQin-
ming to Realize That They
Have Treble Tax.

The huge suus expended upon rural
roads has become burden on the own
ers of the farms, who are awaken to the
fact that money they receive from the
county and state are paid by them in ad-
dition to their road district taxes max
ing really treble tax. And then they
have made the discovery that state
road is not of much benefit to those who
do not live on the road, for those who do
not, have to drive several miles to reach
the road, which may not be in the direc-
tiOn they wish to go. Then they have
also made the discovery, that from the
first of April to the first of August when
| they are getting in and harvesting their
crops the road is of no special advantage
to them-only to those living in the
cities and villages, who own automobiles,
can take a spin for pleasure and enjoy
themselves on a road that they not have
helped to construct.
Should the money received for auto
mobile licenses be distributed to each
town and each road district and be ex-
pended by the local officer with the local
road tax, in few years the roads would
be III fine shape-gOod enough. Then
there is another feature of the present
system of road improvement, thousands
OF dollars are practically wasted by ex-
travagance in the construction of mar
row road heds,>t narrow for convent
ence. The present road system should
be changed so that the farmers could ex-
pend their own money and make their
own road improvements and it should be
done during the present session of the
legislature.
