TAKES DECISIVE ACTION
COUNCIL OPENS THE SEWERAGE
SYSTEM BIDS
Designates Whose Bids viii be Ac-
cepted When Result of Special
Election is Known

At an adjourned meeting held last
Thursday evening, the council took
the sewerage bull by the horns, opened
all the bids and passed resolution de-
signaling those who should be award
ed the contracts when they are let.
This move was made NECESSARY by the
fact that had action been deferred I'M
til after the special election most of
the contractors would then have their
summers work laid out and Viroqua's
system might experience a years de
lay Elsewhere in this issue appears
the official proceedings, containing the
amount of the bids, ete, The record
of this most important meeting should
be read by all.
From the bids acceFied. it appears
that the sewerage system complete
viii cost about 100000. This system
will be laid on every street in the city
with the exception Of two or three out
of-the-Way corners where the sparse
ness Of the population makes it advis-
able to wait until little later II is
the intention Of the contractor TO have
this all finished before the ground
freezes this fall
Because of the poor condition of our
water system and the large saving Of
money possible by putking down ade-
quate sized pipes in Vie same ditch
above the sewer pipes this was also
determined upon, and sthe system so
planned that all parts N the city will
have ample fire proteetlo Practical
IN all Of the hydrants Bow in use were
found BY the enginee TO be in poor
condition and of litti< value. These
viii be replaced wit modern ones.
The tot9l cos ee aisg tire improve
tment- tiitc4lidg for MINIS and latter
ais, the sewer and water pipes and lay
ing of the same, manhOles, disposal
stations and their sites, will not eX-
coed $4,000.
In every vote taken on these pro-
positions, the council has been unani-
nous. There will be no turning back
from their decision. The question to
be decided by the special election on
the 20th will only be the manner of
paying for the Improvement. Shall it
be part bonds or all special assess
ment? The bonds will be paid by a
tax on all classes of property, both
real estate and personal, and payment
distributed over term of twenty
years so that the burden will hardly
be noticed. Inc Special assessment
is levied solely against land. Build
ings, bank stock, tobacco. personal
property-all escape the tax. And the
amount must all be paid at once,
making-a real burden for many tax
payers. Under this plan the man at
the-edge of town with modest house
and plot of ground with, say eight rods
frontage would pay four times as
much tax as the owners of most Of our
fine Main street buildings. This is
not fair to the small or average tax
payers, and all such viii vote for the
bonding ordinance when they under
stand the situation.

HIGBEE SETS ASIDE WILL
AT ADJOURNED TERM OF CIR
CUT COURT
Large Number of Witnesses and Spec
tatOrs Present-MOre Than
DAYS Session

Judge Higbee arrived here Monday
morning for the set purpose of hear
ing the Allen Fish will contest case
transferred from the probate court
for this special or adjourned term. 1t
brought here from Viola and town of
Liberty sections a large assemblage
of persons who were either witnesses
or interested spectators.
The facts briefly stated are that Al
len Fish, a well-known resident of Lib
erty, on his death last February. will
ed his entire estate of approximately
$4,000 to two women Mrs. Mary
Bond and her daughter, Mrs. Maud
Kellogg, who were in no way relat-
ed to him by blood ties, ignoring
his daughter and three sons in max
ing disposition of his property. The
viii was executed forty hours previous
to Fish's death, who was at Mrs Bonds
home during his illness. The action
was one to set aside the will, and after
vigorously contested battle Judge
Higbee promptly rendered his decis-
ion in confirmation of the contention
of the legal heirs and against the two
women named in the will.
The Censor is never given to re-
cital of unsavory court stories and
evidence and refrains from doing so
in this case. There was a good large
degree of unfortunate raciness and de-
pravity recited anything but creditable
to the testator or the unnatural BEN
eficiaries named in the will.
The case was conducted by Senator
Bennett and c. ]. Smith on part of the
Fish heirs and by C. w. and r. B..
Graves for the executor named in the
win, w. l. Griffin, and the benefciar-
les, the two women, The setting aside
of the will we believe, to be triumph
for decency.

Lacrosse Agitates Good Road Along
Mississippi River

Lacrosse Chamber of Commerce and
citizens along the Mississippi have
been plugging hard for Improvement

Lacrosse to Prairie du Chen It
seems, however, they are doomed to
disappointment. J. T. Donaghey, re-
presenting the state highway commits
sion, says that a 14-foot macadam
road between the two cities would cost
81 100000, and would exhaust all fed
eral, state and county funds appropri-
ated for the territory affected in La
Crosse, Vernon and Crawford coun-
ties for five years. The policy of the
state is to first improve commercial
highways. However, the day will
come when that river road viii be one
