DOGS TAXED AS

District Attorney H. J. Bohn was in
Reedsburg the past few days where he
tried q delinquent dog tax payers who
reside in the western part of the coun-
ty.
The cases were all settled with the
exception of one. Nelson Goodrich the
one in question did not pay the tax
on his dog because he believed the
four-footed animal should be taxed as
personal property and the fee collect
ed thusly. The cases were tried in the

and it was thought all troubles were
lover. The company paid about $1,000
for the joists and floor, leaving about
$500, the interest of which was to-
keep the roadway in repair.
* * *
In 1892 it became evident a new
floor was needed and the company
was frequently called upon to make
repairs. The company now took the
stand that the way across the bridge
had become public highway as the
result of long usage and refused to
renew the bridge. During the sixteen
years that had passed the officials OF
the company had changed and the
taxpayers had almost forgotten, they
had raised the $4,000. After an inves-
litigation it had been found there was
a treaty of 1877 and that the company
should repair the bridge. Sank coun-
ty refused to give aid. At last Col
umbia county voted $3.50, the town Of
Newport the sum of $500 and with
this amount the bridge was replank~

treaty of 1877 with the railroad COM
Epany. n /
After this event the company cared
for the bridge until it was rebuilt in
I19O2. Again the whole matter had to
be gone over and at last the company
renewed the bridge.
y X *
In 1908 it again became evident the,
floor should be renewed and there
Twas much correspondence over the
Imatter. Judge Marshall undertook to
remove the irritating situation by
taking charge of the bridge for two
days and in that time made great
improvement with small outlay. The
tplanks were turned over and the road
way was almost as good as new.
81 ~ Il
Two or three years ago the bridge
again needed repairs and the matter
taken up again. Sank county was
once more appealed to and this time
aided in repairing the bridge. R. B.
Griggs, chairman of the county high
way committee, attended meetings at
lKilbourn and it was at last decided
to make the repairs. AS Justice Mar
shall now understands the situation
and as Mr.. Griggs sees it, the COM
pany in the future will replank the
bridge but the counties of Columbia

make temporary repairs. 1t seems the
whole trouble with the Company is
that it is annoying to be called upon
from week to week to nail board
over a hole or drive spike in the end
of a plank. The bridge has recently
ibeen made serviceable and there will
not likely be any agitation for sew
