1t has been long years since the
country highways were in worse con-
dition than during the past week.
Heavy traffic, largely of milk hauling
trucks, has ripped up many of the ex-
pensive macadam highways which only
costly repairs will mend. The James
vile road through Fulton, one of the
finest graded highways that has stood
up through many spring break-ups, is
badly cut up this year. There never
was time when the appeal for per-
maHent concrete highways would meet
with hartier support.
The department was called out
Tuesday afternoon to the home Of w.
G. Crandall by fire that was discov-
cred in closet in the second story.
The upper floor was so filed with stiff
ing smoke that it required some time
to discover where the fire was, but it
was quickly put out when found, with
out the department hose. The damage
outside the smoke will be nominal. In
their hurry to reach the fire, one Of the
delivery cars ran over little son OF
Claude Burdick, who ran out to catch
onto the passing car. While the wheel
of the truck passed over his legs, the
boy was not seriously injured.
The second of the series of dinners
and smokers given by the Edgerton
Chamber of Commerce was held at The
Carlton hotel Wednesday evening and
attended by over sixty members. A
short musical program was given by
Mrs. Wanamaker and Miss Nelson
while the dinner was being served by
the young ladies of the Aiatia club.
Mayor Leary announced that the topics
of the evening were the city hall and
memorial building and the good roads
issue. Atty. Geo. Blanchard presented
arguments in favor of the former and
Herman Kuehling of the highway COM
mission and Mr.. Moore, county road
commissioner, spoke for more perma-
nent highways. Mr.. Kuehling said he
could not hope to tell the people of
Rock county whether they should vote
a bond issue or not-that was ques-
ton for the people to decide-but il
they decided to provide funds the high
way commission would help them direct
the expenditure of the funds. Mr..
Moore went into the details of the pro-
posed bond issue, explaining how in
four or five years the county could have
a complete system of concrete roads
without greater burdens in taxation
than we are now under in the maintain
ing of present roads that are rapidly
deteriorating.
