The city council at Madison has de-
cided by vote of 10 to 7 to Withhold
SAT, HOE from the county. This money
has been collected by the city and accord
ing to law should be turned over to the
county for highway purposes. The city
holds that the state has no right to de-
mand money for highway purposes.
since Madison maintains her streets. A
suit is likely to follow. Baraboo and
many other cities in the state also pay
road money to the county and yet re-
ceives no aid from the county or state in
return. A decision in favor of the city
of Madison would have a sweeping
effect.
