TO ERECT NEW BRICK PLANT
Clay Deposits Discovered Near Marsh
field Said to Be of Excep-
tonalIy Fine Quality.

Observation-Disclosures may be the
industry soon. The initial steps to
make it so will begin with the cree
ton of big modern brick and hollow
building tile plant two miles north
of the city.
At the head of the project are
Louis Hartl, president of the Marsh
field Brewing company, and Ernest
Krause, a practical brick maker, who
in his former plant made some of the
first brick ever used in Marshfeld.
An unlimited deposit of what ex-
perts say is the finest clay in Wiscon-
sin was discovered by these men sew
eral months ago. Since that time they
have made tests as to the depth of
the deposit and it's uniformity and
submitted samples of it to the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and a core of
brick manufacturers, with the result
that all pronounce it the best they
have ever seen. Mr.. Hartl had sam
pies of the brick and tile fired by the
university and several brick makers.
They are extremely strong and
smooth and burn a rich dark red.
Mr. Hartl says modern brick and
tile making machinery will be pur-
chased at once and upon it's arrival
work will be begun erecting the
plant, the first brick made to be used
in the construction of the buildings
and kilns.

nearly a quarter of a million too low.
Besides the general fund, the state
treasury contains a dozen special
funds used for particular purposes.
Among those are the funds used to-
help to support the state university

DECISION OPENS TOLL ROAD
Judge Turner Holds in Famous Case
That Highway Is No Longer
Private Property.

Fond du Lac.-In a decision handed
down by Circuit Judge Turner of Mil
waukee, and which forms the latest
chapter in the long litigation in an
effort to secure the opening up to the
public of what is known as the Fond
du Lac toll road, the court held that
M. G. Steber, in collecting toll on this
road, is "usurping, intruding into, and
unlawfully holding said road, collect
ing toll thereon and exercising the
franchise and acting as an incorpora-
ton without being duly Incorporated.
Judge Turner's decision constitutes
a victory for the state and for C. D.
Smith, who has appeared in conjunc-
ton with the states attorneys and
who has for years been assailing Ste
ber's rights to collect tolls. The case
has been heard by three circuit judges
and the supreme court twice.
