Repairing Streets

Street Foreman Joe Arseneau
has started the work Of repair
ing the paving along Bayfield,
street. Contractor Wolley, who
had charge of the work, failed
to repair the same and the work
is being done by the city and
the bondsmen will be held liable.
The breaks occurred in the
paving at the expansion joints
and when the work of repairing
them has been completed the
expansion joints will be wider
and will allow for the heaving in
the summer which has caused
the paving to breakat the joints.

Auto Accident

Dutch" Ronald Fluck says
Ford cars were not made to
hold the road, at least that is
the opinion he has come to
since figuring in an automobile
accident last Sunday morning. AS
a result of the accident young
F'luck and his com panions Edwin
Larson and Lawrence Wachs-
muth look as if they had been up
against the heaviest firing on the
European battlefelds, or else
they had passed through
sausage machine. All three are
bruised from head to foot.
The trio were returning from
Ashland when the accident oc-
Cured, Fluck was at the wheel
but says he was only going at a
mild rate of speed. The road at
the point near Barksdale is
highly crowned and Fluck was
running along the side of the
crown when the rear wheels
swung around and the car
turned turtle.
Larson and Wachsmuth were
pinned underneath the car while
Fluch was thrown out. Fluck
managed to remove the car from
the other two.
All three were badly bruised
about the face and body and
their bruises have been so pain
full that for several days it hurt
even to smile.

Favor Paving Of West Bayfield, Street
This Season.
Contractor Says Work Can be Pushed
Through in Period Of Thirty
Days.

AT a special meeting of the
Council held on Tuesday evening
for the purpose of settling the
paving question and determining
the type of paving for West
Bayfield, street, that body went
on record as being in favor of
accepting the bid OF C. T. Welch
Company for asphaltic concrete
and to push the work through
this season.
Three members opposed the
paving project as submitted to
the council, namely Henry John
son, James A. Sheridan and Axel
Axelberg.
The bid of the Welch company
was $2.15 per square yard, and
while some of the council thought
this to be high, yet they were
afraid with prevailing conditions
this was about as low a figure as
could be secured and have the
work go through this season.
The hinge in the paving pro-
position came when a resolution
was presented to have the city
assume one third of the burden
as was done on the job complet-
ed last fall. A majority of the
members evidently thought it
would be no more than fair to
adopt the sa me plan on the
lower bayfield, street section as
was done on the other street
paved and the accepting Of the
Welch company bid which had
this provision settled this point.
Welch company say they will
be able to complete the paving
in a period of thirty days after
beginning work and as soon as
the grade has been established
and the contract and bonds have
been approved work will start
with a rush.

Merchants Not Only Urged but Com
manded to Eliminate Expense
National Council of Defense Says Mer-
chants Must Cut Down the
Deliveries

Unless the merchants of the
country voluntarily get together
and cut down the deliveries and
otherwise eliminate expense it
begins to look. as if the National
Council of Defense would take a
hand in the matter and force the
issue.
Some time ago the Council of
Defense for Bayfield, county,
acting on advices received from
the State Council of Defense,
urged the merchants of Bayfield,
county to get together and work
out some plan whereby deliveries
of goods could be lessened in
time of war, and in many
localities the merchants acted on
the suggestion and have made
considerable saving in man
power and in expense in SO
doing.
In this city and in other places
in Bayfield, county nothing has
been done along this line, and
the same must be true in other
sections of the country for this
week the National Council of
Defense issued an order stating
that the merchants would be ex-
pected to work out some plan
for cutting down the expense.
The State Council of Defense
now urges and directs every
Mercants Association in this
state to Immediately take such
steps as are necessary toconform
to the order of the Ma tional
Council of Defense.
Some of the merchants of this
city who in the past have failed
to get together on the delivery
question will now find that it is
better to get together than to
wait for the government to take
action which may prove a hard
ship upon them.
This is a war measure and
must be acted upon. Unless the
merchants get together volun-
tarily through their association
or otherwise and work out some
plan. drastic measures will
have to be taken.
