a committee of the New Orleans AS
ISOLATION of Commerce; Mr. C. J.
Bonner acting as spokesman for the
Algiers Citizens in the absence of
Chairman P. S. Lawton who was
confined to his home on account of
his recent illness.
Mr.. Bonner set up the plea that
present time acting with Hon. Paul
Maloney, Commissioner of Public
Utilities, in the interest of better
ferry service between New Orleans
and Algiers, and had presented petit
tions signed by residents and ferry
patrons asking for a betterment in
the service and rates, and an addi-
tional ferry at Opelousas Ave-, and
if successful in receiving the addi-
tional ferry at Opelousas Ave, it
would also mean the necessity of an
additional landing on the city side,
presumably at about Poydras St., so
as to be as close as possible To Canal
St. He stated that including the
Richards St., ferry, Algiers had four
ferries twenty-five years ago when
the population was but eight thou
sand people, and now that the town
has seventeen thousand, and is still
growing, it is served by only one
ferry. He also called attention to
the possible dangers in operation on
account of the strong eddy in the
river at the New Orleans landing OF
the Canal ST., ferry, and stated the
mooring of boats or ships at the
wharf directly ahead of the present
landing would greatly increase the
present dangers. He further re-
minded the Board of the abandon.

BLAINE STUDIES
STATES PURSE
Governor is Probing the Financial
Situation Before Urging
Tax Legislation.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire)


Madison, Wis.-Governor Blaine has
gone directly to the secretary of state
to find out the states financial condi-
ton before preparing his expected
message to the Legislature, which it is
believed will demand that some measure
be passed before sine die adjournment.
The board of public affairs, which is
charged with making the financial bud
get, and is the official department
dealing with state finances was not
approached by the governor. The board
worked with the finance committee and
accepted its report, stating that addi-
tional revenue was not needed during
the next biennium should the Hirst
highway bill pass
Work Will be started by the seere-
tary of state tomorrow when the fiscal
year closes. Actual expenditures and
balances can then be determined, the
only estimate being the possible
revenue to be derived from receipts
during the next two years.
Two Days for Tabulation.
At least two days will be required
for the tabulation, making it impos-
sible for the governor to have any
communication ready for the legisla-
ture when it reconvenes on Wednes-
day The message is expected next
week or the week following. I
From conservative estimates now
available it appears that the state will
be short at least three million dollars
during the next biennium. This is
taken on the basis of a finance COM
mittee report, which admittedly was
optimistic, with the addition of one
million seven hundred seventy thous-
and dollars for highway purposes not
considered by the finance committee
because of its report on the basis of
passage of the Hirst bill.
On June IS the general fund had
slightly over eight million one hundred
thousand dollars available, an amount
somewhat lower than had been ex-
pected. All conditions considered, It'll
thought that the governor will find the
expenditures are authorized for the
coming two years in excess of the re-
hundred thousand dollars. None of the
big appropriation bills are expected to
be signed by the governor until he
knows where the money is coming from.
Dog Tax Bill Signed.
The Olson dog license law, lowering
the tax from $500 and $500 to $500
and $100, was signed by Governor
Blaine today. The license. provision is
modified under the new act, and much
of the red tape in connection with col
lection of the tax is eliminated.
The dog tax bill was the subject of
controversy throughout the entire SEES
sion, having been one Of the first meas
ures introduced. At one time the
law was repealed, only to have it re-
vived and finally passed.

Have Good Start
on Highway Work

Madison, Wis. - Despite the handi-
caps threatened at the beginning of
the year, highway construction work
in Wisconsin is progressing more sat
isfactory than in any previous year the
engineers of the State Highway Com
mission report. An unusually good
start has been made in the highway
construction for 1921. Work in gen
eral is several weeks ahead of the
usual situation at this time of the
year. Not only is there a larger
quantity of work undeS way, but each
individual job on the average is fur
Their advanced than the average job
at this time of the year. At the pres
ent time, there are approxinnately$15
crews building gravel roads in the
state, and this number is being aug
mented every day. There are also,
approximately, sixty PAYERS building
concrete roads in the state, which
means we are building over three
miles of paved highway per day. This
rate is not abnormal because of the
fact that we have approximately three
hundred and ten 800 miles Of pave
ment to build during the season, as
this amount is already under contract.
One reason for the extra good start is
the rather keen competition there has
been in bidding this year. This is
due partly to the fact that some of the
neighboring states are not in full
swing in their highway work, and part
ly to the fact that a considerable num-
Der of new contracting firms, have
started, owing to the increased high
way work in general. Prices have been
lowered from week to- week and the
work let now is done at considerably
lower prices than that let earlier in
the year However, the State High
way Commission took precaution in
the early contracts, and is still doing
so, and incorporating clauses wherein
reductions in materials, such as sand,
gravel and cement, and reductions in
freight rates, shall rebound to the
credit of the county or state as the
case may be. In other words, all bids
ore received based on certain stated
prices for material, and on the exist
ing freight rates at the time of the
letting.

Wisconsin, Makes
1920 Of Cheese
Records Shows Badger State Pro-
duces TwO-Thirds of the
U. S. Supply.

Forty-six Wisconsin counties are
producing in all 80 kinds of cheese to
meet two-thirds of the nations de-
mand for sandwich filling, pie com
plements and souffle bases.
Perhaps the most significant feature
about the cheese industry is that the
more popular foreign types are now
being produced here as successfully
as in the old countries.
Commenting upon the status of the
present industry, j. L. Sammis, of the
college of agriculture, expressed the
opinion that cooperative marketing
facilities are helping materially to i'm
prove the states cheese industry.
Cooperative Marketing.
"Team work." declared Mr.. Sammis,
SIS actually helping to market our
cheese and it is bringing large mum
Der of cheese factories up to higher
standard of quality production. The
factory operator who lags behind is
being made to come up to the standard
set by the efficient factory operator"
Just now, when prices Of cheese are
temporarily low, the product of really
good quality is getting the better
price. Factories are being compelled
by force of economic conditions to
turn out product of better quality
for the demand for under-grade
cheese is steadily waning.
Mr.. Sammis estimates that at the
=
20 per cent of the nations cheddar
supply. A year ago the state produced
more than 235 million pounds of Am
erican cheese, Sheboygan and Mara
thon counties leading all others in
product of this type. Next came brick
with over 44,000,000 pounds and Swiss
with 100000 pounds, and Limberger
with 100000 pounds.
Swiss Cheese Made Here.
Swiss cheese is made in Green, Dane,
Jefferson, Rock and Iowa counties
and frangrant Limbergers in Dodge
Green, Rock, Columbia and Dane. Sew
erals counties are now manufacturing
Camembert, the Frech cheese, and
Neufchatel is being shipped from
Monroe, Waukesha, Milwaukee, Dane,
Walworth, and few other sections.
While Wisconsin is center of pro
duction for all dairy products, its cool
temperature aids it in building its
reputation as cheese state.
Badger cheese men declare that the
growing recognition of the food value
of dairy products is aiding to stimu-
late the consumption of cheese. While
Americans are said not to have as fine
taste for the highest grade OF
cheese as have consumers in most
European countries, the nations taste
is steadily improving.

OFFICER GETS
BATH OF MILK
Moonshiner Deluges Pa

Milk Bath.
GALL AN ACCIDENT

Getting a bath of sour milk while
was the experience of Policeman La
Point on Saturday evening when he
participated IN a raid made on the
home Of William Kastaroskis at 309
North Sheridan road, a man suspected
of making moonshine liquor. A still
and a quantity of mash was found al
the home and Kastaroskis was arraign-
ed this morning on charge of making
moonshine liquor.
The milk bath was the feature of the
raid. Patrolman LaPoint and Detec
tive Charles Rock, armed with search
warrants, went to the home early or
Saturday evening and started THEN
search for moonshining paraphernalia
Kastaroskis, protesting his innocence
made no resistance but did not offer
an abundance of aid to the officers in
making the search.
Stepped on Milkpan.
Patrolman LaPoint wanted to search
the basement and he went down there
unaccompanied. AS he entered the
cellar, he noticed large pan of sour
milk, which had evidently been kept by
the family for several days. A mo
ment later Kastaroskis, a little the
worse for having imbibed too freely Of
his own home-brew, came down into
the cellar. AS he met the officer, he
stepped on the rim of the pan contain
ing the milk and splattered the officer
with it's contents.
Patrolman LaPoint did not like the
decoration which the white milk gave
him. He bounced on Kastaroskis but
the latter said that it was all an acct
dent and that he was very sorry. The
policeman relented but insisted thai
Kastaroskis be taken to the police Office
to answer other charges.
Destroy Still and Mash.
In the basement of the home the po'
lice found large still which they de-
stroyed with an axe. In the kitchen
was found barrel of mash and into
