is assigned the Edgerton and Albion
| churches for another year. This is
pleasing news to the many friends they
have made since coming to Edgerton.

Mr.. and Mrs. George Attlesey of
Stanley, Wis, are spending couple
weeks visiting friends and relatives in
Edgerton and vicinity. Mr.. Attlesey
has been up in that northern country
during the last % years. He was in
the logging game for number of years
and operated farm. He is now liv-
ing in town, but active and busy as
always. He states that the logging
industry on the old big scale is thing
of the past, but that the potato, pea
and cabbage culture is succeeding
splendidly. The potato crop this year
will be about 20 per cent short, due to
the long spell of dry we; .I4er. Stanley
has large warehouses for storage of
cabbages, and big pea canning fac
tory. Mr.. Attlesey paid The Reporter
office pleasant visit.
The city engineer says that the
sewer extension on East Fulton will
reach over the top of the big bend in
the MELVILLE road. This is also the
end of the water mains. The curb and
gutter on Stoughton road is being put
in as fast as possible. He says that to
push the plan of street building for the
summer would have been unwise as the
difficulty of getting material shipped in
placed too many obstacles in their way.
Besides, the transportation situation is
fast improving; so are the labor condi-
tons, and be believes that by next
spring the city will have more work
and better work for it's money than
would have been possible this year.
Friday this week Miss Mildred Wright,
an accomplished landscape architect
from Milwaukee will go over the Gen.
trail Park property together with the

the park plans which may be suitable
to the nature of the grounds. Miss
Wright was formerly with the well
known firm of architects, F. Cushing
Smith.
