IMPROVE ROADS
MANY TOWNSHIP BOARDS ARE
COMPLYING WITH LAW RE-
DURING HIGHWAY
DRAGGING.

That boards of trustees in most
Lake county townships are complying
with the new state law which pro
vides for the dragging of main high
ways, Is indicated by the fact that
nearly half of the $50 or so miles
travelled by rural mail carriers In the
Madison district have already this
spring been put in condition, il Is
reported.
1t is said that it would be useless
to drag parts of some roads, owing to
the fact that they are low and badly
worn. other highways are greatly
in need of grading, il is told.
IL is expected that work will be
comemnced in a week or so on the
improvements to be made on the road
between the city and Lake Madison.

A STATEMENT
J. A. JOHNSON STANDS FOR COM
MISSION GOVERNMENT AND
ECONOMY In SALARIES.

In announcing my candidacy for a
seat on the city commission, / desire
to state that l have all along believed
in the practicability of the commits
sion form of city government, and
am now more firmly convinced than
ever that the commission plan can,
from a straightforward business
standpoint, be turned to far greater
account than could the old alderman
ic form of city government.
l do believe. however, that a mis-
take was made when the salaries of
commissioners were increased from
$500 a year to $3.50 a year, and the
mayors salary was elevated from
5000 to 5000 per annum. Holding
the opinion | do, l wish to announce
that IL | am elected at next weeks
election, l will accept only $500 a
year for my services as city commits
sioner.

War SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, April Especial: In
Caurettes woods, just west of the
Meuse, another attempt to break the
French line defending Verdun was
made this morning by German troops.
The official communication from
Paris says the attack was repulsed.
After a winter of inactivity along
the Greek frontier heavy fighting is
now under way, although apparently
it is still confined principally to ar
tillery action. An unconfirmed re-
port from Saloniki tells of the cap
ture of a fortified position by the
Germanic allies, but so far as is in
dicated no large bodies of infantry
have been engaged.
The destruction of British shipping
which is causing concern in England
continues. The Senator, a new Brit
ish ship of $500 tons. has been sent
to the bottom. The crew is believed
to have been rescued.
Official investigation of the sink
ing of the Tubantia and Palembang
resulted in a finding that both were
torpedoed.
The official report of today from
Berlin says German troops yesterday
gained some ground in Caillette
wood, southeast of Fort Douaumont
and that several French attacks
broke down with heavy losses.
The latest effort of the British
forces in Mesopotamia to reach the
troops besieged at Kut-el-Amara Is
said by the Turkish war office to
have cost them heavy losses. 1t Is
stated that more than 5000 British
dead were counted after the battle
which according to a previous official
British communication occurred al
Sammy Vat on the Tigris, below kut-
el-Amara.

$67,70S.33
1t may be further stated that the
item of $4,000, mentioned as loaned
to Waterworks fund, was for the
purpose of extending the water mains
around the Normal campus and other
parts of the city, so that W lines
ordered laid could be used effective
ly (as well as fire protection), they
being practically worthless without
water. This money will have to be
returned to the Sewer fund when any
general extension Of sewers is or
dered.
This. We think, will disprove the
statement that the reduction of the
bonded indebtedness of the city from
$113,0 600 to $4,000 in the last four
years was mainly accomplished by
the use of money obtained from the
sale of sewer bonds.
