More Room Needed.
One of the most interesting sessions
was held on Friday morning. 1t
seemed to be generally agreed that
more room must be secured for the
Jail and that the court house is TOO
small for the requirements. Two plans
were proposed. One was to build a
small addition to the north end Of the
Hickcox property on the south
west corner of the block where the
courthouse and jail stand, and use this
for the sheriff S residence, at least until
new courthouse is built. Each mem
Der was called On for his opinion and a
formal vote was then taken. The re-
suit was 30 to 10 in favor Of building
an addition to the Jail
Many Improvements.
1t was decided to place a new cell
ing on the library room of the court
house, paint the walls of the library
room and judges room, repair the
roof above these rooms repaper the
treasurer's office, and secure and equip
an office for the supervisor of assess
ments.
Ask Tax of $27272 For Roads And
Bridges.
The report Of the committee on roads
and bridges asked for tax of $12 935 So
for bridges in the towns of Dodgeville,
Eden, Highland, Linden, Mineral Point,

for roads and bridges in the towns Of
