SUBMIT COURT
HOUSE CHANGES
COUNTY BOARD WILL ACT
ON ALTERATION PLAN
IN APRIL

Specific plans have been completed
for changes in the county building to
provide additional space urgently
needed for various offices. The chief
lack has been in the amount of vault
space available, particularly in the
offices of the county Judge and the
register of deeds. A committee meet
ing was held yesterday and the chang
es approved for submission to the
county board at the next meeting.
Comfort Room
| A women's comfort room is to be
built in the basement and provided
with an outside entrance. The lack
of suitable accommodations of this
kind has been felt particularly by out
OF town visitors.
| On the first floor, the vault in the
southeast corner is divided by a CEN
tral wall so that the halves are used
by the register of deeds and the county
judge respectively. These vaults have
become far too small to handle the
increased business records of the two
officers so it is proposed to take out
the cener wall, making one large
vault of it and turn it over to the
register of deeds. The county court
office will be moved to the second
floor. The vault in the northeast cor
ner of the building will be extended
onto the second floor and used for the
county court records. Only half of
the total vault floor space twill be
carried up, the other half of the space
will be used for a reference room.
This will reduce the size of the super
visor's room where the municipal
court is now held and this court will
be moved down into the room now
occupied by the county court which
will thus exchange quarters with the
municipal court
Office for Sheriff
A partition put in the treasurer's
office on the first floor will provide a
separate Office for the sheriff who
now occupies desk in that room.
Important changes are indicated for
The third floor and the attic. The
northeast corner of the third floor is
taken up at present by a dormitory
for jurers. This is to bes moved up
into the attic where there are several
rooms that only need fitting up to put
them into suitable shape. The ar
rangement will include a lounging
tbuhh ia NofiiiectlpH w. III tne uOTlnlIOry
and will make use of muchs space in
the attic that is now practically
wasted.
Two New Offices
In the space thus vacated by the
juror room two Offices will be built.
In addition, the office now used by the
income tax assessor will be made into
two rooms by build ng a partition
through the center which will thus
provide three extra rooms. The occu-
pants of these rooms have not been
definitely decided upon but will pro-
bably be the county agricultural
agent, the district attorney and the
county nurses.
All of the changes planned will be
made without cutting any of the out
side walls and the cost will thus be
kept in the neighborhood OF five thou
sand dollars. Oppenhamer & Obel are
making the plans.

.AUTOMOBILISTS WILL NOT
TAKE CHANCE OF BE-
ING FINED

Tourists usually select their routes
with great care and because of ad-
Vantages they obtain by following a
certain path. Wausau has been ex-
tremely fortunate in the past in that
thousands, of tourists each summer
have followed Highway No. 16 and
Highway No. 10 to the -northwoods,
{ making Wausau their official stopping
place on the last leg of their journey.
Frequently they have stopped at local
hotels and sometimes have pitched
tents at one or the other of the
beautiful camping sites available near
here.
Cnfriendly Now
Just now these travellers, who spend
their money with our merchants and
liyen business considerably during the
summer season, are harboring an un-
friendly spirit toward Wausau, Scho-
field and Rothschild. They believe
they have reason. Some of them say
they will never again come through
this city. Others do not make quite
such a positive statement but advise
other tourists not to come this way
unless they are compelled to do SO.
Their reason is summed into several
words-''the speed cop" Indiscrim-
mate and unnecessary arrests made at
every turn is the charge.
''He hides somewhere along the
road and then, when he sees strange
car coming along jumps out of the
ambush demanding $500 for appear
ance in court or an $500 fine is i'm
posed right off the bat,' one tourist
says. These tourists are not inten-
tional law breakers but they, like all
other human beings who possess an
automobile, will speed up a bit when
they reach a clear stretch of road
where there isn't human being stir
ring and on which there are no CROSS
roads.
Reputation Spreads
>The reput alton of the unjudici0us
treatment of automobile tourists in
) Wausau, Rothschild and Schofield, has
penetrated every garage in the state
of Wisconsin and down the line last
year it was not unusual to find pic
ture of the "Wausau Speed Cop" hung
in garages with warning to @loOk
out" Dealers down the line did every
thing they could to d discourage motor
lists coming by way of Wansau.
They're paving up there was a COM
mon remark, @and they expect to pay
for this work by arresting tourists.
There isn't any discretion used. Ar
rest everybody going over fifteen miles
an hour and say he's going thirty FIVE
If It's only eighteen And so we find
two young men coming through Scho-
field arrested last year and fined $500
for going about eighteen miles an
hour. They came to Wausau, grouchy
and peeved, went to local garage and
said: "Give us just enough gasoline
to get to Merrill. We won't spend our
money around a town like this"
That's the reputation Wausau is gain
ing and yet again in 1921 the police
committee of the council has seen fit
to do exactly as it did in 1920 and has
engaged the same Speed Cop"
This individual is expected, we
suppose, to do a bit of scouting; to
seclude himself in unheard of places,
to jump out of his hiding place and
pounce on the neck of some innocent
tourist who is travelling just fast
enough to cover the ground and hasn't
the slightest idea that he is violating

INTEREST LAX
in ELECTION
NO LOCAL CONTESTS AND
BUT ONE IN STATE
ON APRIL 5TH

Interest in the judicial and school
superintendency election to be held
on Tuesday, April 5th, is not very
keen doubtless because there is no
local opposition for either the Judge
of the circuit court or for county
superintendent OF schools and because
N the state the school superinten-
dents job is the only one sought by
two persons.
Ladies Needn't Worry
Despite this fact, however, it is the
duty of every citizen of legal age to
appear at his precinct and to cast his
ballot The ladies should continue
to show avidity in the use of the
ballot and none of them need fear
being requested to divulge their age.
Only when it appears that they are
under twenty-one will they be ques-
toned and then the only requirement
| is an affidavit to the effect that they
are over. this minimum.
The voters of Marathon county will
be asked to elect county superinten-
dent OF schools. j. E. Giessel, the
Lresent incumbent, has no opposition
and has served the county so efficient
| ly that no one thinks of lining up
against him. Likewise Judge A. H
Reid, candidate for Judge of the six
teenth judicial circuit, has no opposi-
ton. The judge has received the
united support of residents of the cir
cult in three campaigns and is held in
very high esteem.
| One Contest
| But there is one contest That is
between c. p. Cary, present state
superintendent of public instruction
who has held the Office for eighteen
years, and John Callahan, present
director of vocational training. Both
are good men. Mr.. Cary has had
much the longer experience in the
educational field but Mr.. Callahan has
also enjoyed variety of experience.
