Ferris Johnson, a brother.
Ferris has just been discharged

vitation to visiting soldiers and
sailors.
The celebration is to be held
in the village of Mason and it is
to be the biggest event held in
that place. There will be all
sorts of games and athletic

big dance, and a banquet for SOL

Those who have attended cele-

ton of the county can plan and
they say this will be the biggest
they have ever held.

AUCTION SALE
OF MACHINERY
County to Rid Self Of Tractors Pur-

Will Not Accomplish Work They We're
Intended for and They
are to be Sold.

An advertisement is being run
in this issue of this paper of
an auction sale to be held by the
County Road and Bridge Com
mittee at the County Tool House
in the city of Washburn on
August 18th at ten o'clock in the
forenoon at which three Nilsson
tractors will be auctioned off to
the highest bidders.
These tractors were purchased
by the county a year ago but
they have proven to be too light
for heavy grading and too heavy
for light work and after trying
them out this spring at all kinds
Of work the committee has de-
cided to rid the county Of them.
The committee say these
tractors will prove ideal for farm
work and at least three farmers
in Bayfield, county are going to
get a tractor almost at their own
figures.
The tractors are in good rum
ming order but they are not what
the committee want for they
will not do the work for which
they were intended.

COMPLETING
The PROGRAM
Board Of Public Works Ordering
in Many Walks
Expect to Fill in Many Vacant Spots
During the Remaining
Summer Weather.

The Board of Public Works OF
the city are carrying out their
program Of completing the build
ing of the cement walks through
out the city where the grade
has been established by the city
and a contract has been entered
into with Oscar E. Palm for the
laying Of all such walks and the
same will be charged back to the
abutting property.
In past years the Board has
been somewhat lax in not forcing
property owners to build their
walks when ordered with the
result that there has been many
open spaces in the walks which
have not been built and the pro-
gram of the Board is to now
have these walks built.
Notices are now being served
by the Board on property owners
in which ten days is given in
which to complete the. building
of the walks and in case Of fail
ure the Board will order the
walks built under contract and
the amount will be charged on
the tax roll against the abutting
property.
By carrying out this policy the
walks in the city will be con-
tinuous. All walks which have
been condemned will be laid this
fall under contract or otherwise.
