PLANkS ONCE
EXPECTED To
SOLVE ROAD
PROBLEMS
Private Companies Built Miles of
Roads Later Proving to be
Undurable

Madison, Wis-The possibility of
improving Wisconsin's roads by the
use of planks first attracted the at
tention of the citizens of the state
when roads were few and bad, a fact
it is interesting to know now that over
5000 miles of improved highway have
been built. Governor Tallmadge rec
commended plank roads to the consid-
Grafton of the legislature of 1845, re-
marking that such roads were extern
slvely used IN Russia an4 lad lately
been introduced into Canada. IT,
Public funds were not, however, suf-
ticient, and private corporations ener-
getically took up the plan. The Lisbon
and Milwaukee Plank Road Company
was chartered in 1916, and at the next
session of the legislature sixteen such
companies secured licenses. The high
tide was reached in 1852 when thirty
plank-road companies were chartered
Plank road mass meetings were held in
many towns, and great expectations of
benefits We're excited. The results were
disappointing both to the companies
and to the travelling public. The latter
soon objected to the tolls, found that
hard planks hurt the feet of the stock
and the uneveness of the worn planks
retarded their progress The promoters
who expected oak planks to last a de-
cade or more. found them rotten and
worthless at the end of three or four
years. Tolls were evaded and grew
less; the state license took a good per
cent of the receipts; dividends were
small and dwindling. By 1871 the
plank roads which twenty years before
had been expected to solve Wisconsin's
transportation problem had ceased to
exist.

THE TRADE AT
Home CLUB

One of our friends was indignant
the other night over her failure to get
one Of the home merchants to deliver
a clean collar for her boy to wear to
party. This woman has made it her
practice to buy at out of town stores
or at mail order houses 1t appeared
about 6 p. m. that her boy had no
clean collar that he could wear. So
she telephoned down to the store and
asked the merchant to send her up a
pair of collars for % cents.
The merchant was just closing, and
he would have had to ask a clerk to
go considerably out of his way to de-
liver that order. AS the lady did not
make it practice to buy anything of
him, he did not feel under obligation
to send it that night.
Miserable service we get" snapped
the woman. A loyal Trade at Homer
reminded her that if she and other
people bought all their goods at home
the stores would be able to provide
more expensive service and wouId feel
under obligation to do so.
