limit of the city on Grand Avenue
south to Rothschild, a road had to be
run through Herman Radant's farm
to make the detour. Mr.. RADIANT pre-

ferred to the committee on roads and
bridges. The claim was settled for
$500.
After referring the bills to the var
ious committees the board adjourned
until Thursday at 1920 a. m.
The members of the board inspected
the county asylum on Wednesday af-
ternoon and at the close were served
a luncheon by the asylum manage
d. Christie.

The matter Of accepting the propo-
sition made by the Marathon county
Agricultural society for the county to
take over the fair grounds, paying
therefore 100000 the funds to be used
for the improvement of the grounds,
buildings, etc., was presented by J. N.
Manson, who explained that the money
each year, together with donations,
was to be paid to the county park
commission to be expended by it and
thus the county would have full con-
troll.
The proposition was defeated by a
vote of 25 to 80. The members of the
board who voted mo" were of the
opinion that not enough time had
been given to consider the proposition.
The district attorney assured the
county board that the title to the prop
erty was perfect and there was moth
ing to prevent tn disposal of the
grounds at any time.
The Holstein Breeders associations
of Elderon and Edgar petitioned the
board to cooperate with the Marathon
County Agricultural society in provid-
ing suitable stock pavilion at the
fair ground.
An invitation was extended by Miss
Mary Brady to the board to visit the
short course in home economics at the
