AN OPEN LETTER IN REPLY TO
WILLIAM MASTERS

To the Editor: In last weeks issues
of the Iowa County Democrat and
Dodgeville Chronicle appeared letter
from Will Masters, town clerk OF the
town of Linden, which cast serious
reflections upon the County Board
of Iowa county and upon the County
Road and Bridge Committee.
I am farmer member of the County
Board and also a member of the Road
and Bridge committee and feel it my
duty to make this reply to that letter
SO that the people may not be fooled
by it.
At the opening of his letter, Mr.
Masters states that the town Of Linden
has been charged $40 10000 in 1917 1918
and 1919 for state and county road
work This means that they have been
charged $32, 10000. in the three years,
or means that they have been charged
total of 5000 90 in the three years,
The only possible difference in the
two possible meanings is that one is
three times as ridiculous as the other.
The facts are these: In 1917 there
was assessed against the town Of Lin
den by the County Board the sum of
$818.65, which was spent on the hill
just east of the village of Linden. By
similar resolution in 1918 the sum OF
ST, ,281 ~ was assessed against the town
of Linden for grading and draining on
the Mineral Point Belmont road known
as Schaafs' hill. This amount is still
unspent, and is in the county treasury
drawing interest at about per cent.
There was no assessment against the
town Of Linden in 1919. Mr. Masters
letter conveyed the impression that $780,
700 90 or $40, 900 had been spent in the
three years. Only $818 IS of the town
money has been spent. If he means
that $32, 700. 90 has been spent, then he
is only $31, 1881 35 out of the way. If
he means that $10,6 100 has been spent,
the he is only s1O,OS1 35 out of the way.
In either case he couldn't expect me
to let him get away with such stptf.
He also says that only SIX or SEVEN
miles were under patrol sytem and
that it was joke.
The fact is that about twenty miles
has been under patrol system and that
the County Road and Bridge Committee
has been frequently Informed that the
work of the patrolmen was splendid. If
you doubt this ask the men who travel
the roads in the Town of Linden par
ticularly the road from Linden to Min
eral Point. Mr.. Masters couldn't expect
me to be quiet when he sneers at six or
seven miles of patroled road in his town
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-12-11

through Iowa County with her fine blue
grass pastures and fertile fields, does
this mean anything for Iowa County
Would any man refuse if his neighbor
asked him to build his half of his divis-
ion fence If he did, there is way OF
making him; so it is with the Federal
road.
Say young man, you cannot be a
Robinson Cruso in the present day.
You need your neighbor, you need the
city man both in our state and the ad
joining state to make market for the
produce of this fertile county of ours;
one of the best in the state. The rail-
roads are no longer able to handle the
traffic. The Federal government and the
state are contributing large sums of
money each year to build these state
roads which under Sec. 1317m of the
Statues must be spent on these roads.
Then why not concrete the state road
where fifty, maybe a hundred autos
would pass over this road, where one
would pass in front of your or my door.
1t would be their money as much as
yours or mine that helps build aud
maintain this concrete.
9th Question This question is all
about mine tailings being poor stuff to
make roads out of. If any one places
much stock in this objection | suggest
they write the State Highway Com
mission, the village of Avoca, Benton,
Cuba City, Montfort or any other place
where they have been used on we'll
drained and graded roads. If you put
tailings in ditch they will be washed
away, but put them on we'll graded
and drained road and they will stick
and they make mighty good road too.
9Th Question This question is
''Since macadam roads have broken
down every where when subjected to
fast motor traffic, why should we spend
thousands of dollars in Iowa County to
construct such roads,"
The answer is that we don't propose
to spend one cent for such roads in Iowa
County and don't propose to build one
foot of such roads. We do propose to
build ten miles of bituminous macadam
roads and if Mr.. Masters knows of one
of these roads breaking down l wish he
would let me know about it.
want to say in closing this letter
that I haven't any bad feeling toward
Mr.. Masters but he ought to be more
careful about signing his name to these
open letters. 1 guess he was perfectly
sincere but he ought to think more be-
fore he writes any more.
Respectfully yours,
r. G.. WHITE,
Member of County Road and Bridge
Committee of the County Board of Iowa
County.

Mrs Walter B. Noble

Mrs Walter b. Noble, a woman of
beautiful christian character, was sum-
moned to her eternal hcme early Sun
day afternoon, Dec. Z, 1919. Annie A.
Avery was born in this city July 10,
1865, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs
James Avery, later becoming member
of the family of Mr. and Mrs Charles
Benson. With the exception of twelve
years residence in GAINESVILLE this city
and near by community was always her
home. On January 13, 1887 Annie be-
came the wife of Walter B. Noble.
One son, George W., came to bless this
union. This son preceded the mother
over the river six years ago at the age
of seventeen years.
Mrs Noble was a sufferer for num-
ber of years but throughout this long
siege of pain and weakness she found
comfort and solace in the promises of
her Savior with Whom she communed
daily. Mrs Noble loved the church and
attended regularly as long as strength
was her portion. This virtuous life
will be greatly missed by the husband,
two sisters and three brothers; Mrs
Martha Beech, Cedar Rapids. Iowa,

GOOD ROADS BRING THE DOCTOR
QUICKLY
Dodgeville, Wis. Dec 2, 1919.

Dodgeville, Wis. Dec 2, 1919.
Dear Doctor: DO good roads in Iowa
County mean anything to your Will
good roads make your life and your
work any easier? Will your transpor-
tation expense be lessened by good
roads2 Will your patients be given
better and quicker service as a result Of
good roads? PROFESSIONALLY the ans
wer to these questions is Yes"
No one knows better than the doctor
the great advantage of good permanent
roads. No one needs them more. No
one uses them more. Therefore, doctor,
when the bond issue is voted on. on
December Is next, we the physicians of
Iowa County should back it, boost it,
and vote for it.
The Iowa County Medical. Society
recommends vote for the bonds. 1t
does so because we believe that vote
for bonds is vote for better practise,
better service and better satisfaction to
the public.
December Is is the day. Iowa Coun-
ty needs the roads, can afford the roads
and ought to have the roads. You,
doctor. should get out and help her get
them. Fraternally.
THE IOWA COUNTY MEDICAL
SOCIETY.
D. B HAMILTON, President.
J. B. HUGHES, Secretary.

and there were twenty miles of such
road and we'll patroled too.
Then he asks six questions. He was
off about 80 to on his figures for the
town of Linden's taxes Cor 10 to which
ever way you take it). And he is worse
off in his six questions. Lets see what
he says:
1st Question He says in substance
that the past road construction has been
inefficient. I challenge him to offer
proof of that fact [ will meet him at
any time or place that he names and de-
fend our County Board and our Com
mittee from any such unjust and al
most slanderous charge.
2nd Question He hints in this ques-
tion that graft and dishonesty has been
practiced in the road construction Of
Iowa County. [ challenge him to prove
his statement and | will meet him at
any time or place he names to disprove
his charges. But if he has any proof to
support his charge his duty as public
officer and a patriotic citizen is clear.
He should see the district attorney at
once and file charges. If he didn't mean
that there had been graft and dishones
ty in our road construction, then he
ought, to apologize for saying so.
3rd Question This question deals
with the point as to whether it is right
to tax the man who isn't on the cement
road I refuse to take much time with
it. If any fair man will sit down and
think for about three minutes he will
answer it for himself.
Roads are public institutions just like
our schools and the public must main
tain them both and any one can see that
if the cement roads increase the value
of the land they pass then the owner
will pay more taxes on that land.
4th Question This is all about laying
the cement roads ON the trunk high
ways.
The state roads which have been Sc
| lected by the highway commission and
under the bond issue resolution are to
be concrete and are Federal roads so Sc
| lected as to be connecting links with
other counties and between states and
will have to carry great amount of
traffic whether it be tourist, joyriders
or business man Of Iowa County Civ
ing his family fresh air outing or the
busy farmers hauling his milk to the
factory or produce to market. Trunk
line % is a connecting link with the
state of Iowa from Dubuque through
Iowa County to Madison and on through
the state. Have we any pride? What
does it mean for Iowa County? If we
can bring that Iowa farmer, who is a
tourist and joyrider as we'll as ourselves,
from his high priced farm straight

CHRISTMAS PARCELS

Mail early and avoid disappointment.
The coal strike has caused a reduction
Of service on some railroads, and further
curtailment will be necessary if the strike
continues.
This condition makes the early mailing
of Christmas parcels this year more than
usually important.
