HAD WRONG FIGURES

AS a matter of information we have
been asked to correct statement
made by E. Bryan, President of the
School Board, when addressing a
meeting Of the Garfield School
Teacher-Parent Association relative
to the cost of lights for the Walker
School building for the month of
February.
In Mr.. Bryan's remarks he made
the statement that the cost of lights
for this building alone for the month
of February amounted to $l64.OO,
and cited this as one reason for the
cost of operating the schools.
There were about sixty parents
present at the meeting and all were
astomished and dumbfounded at the
figures, and one of those in attend
ance Investigated the report and
found that the Association had been
misinformed.
According to the figures as OBJ
tanned from the Light Office the
amounts paid for the Walker
building were as follows: Sept. cur
rent $780,. supplies $4.6O, October
current $3.50, supplies 85c, Novem-
ber $24.9O, supplies 1884, Decem-
Der and January current $48.50, sup
plies $14.OO, February $4.05, making
total of $102.90 for current for the
months of September, October, No
vember, December and January, and
total of $57.94 for supplies for
the period from September to March
1st, or a total for current and sup
plies for the period from September
to March of $160.84, and not $164.OO
for the month of February as stated
by the School Board President.
And in addition to the above there
was a charge of $4,000 for power
for the electric motors and $4,000 for
motor during the period covered by
the other figures.
Because of the story going the
| rounds about the high cost of lights
as result of the statement to the
Association we have been asked to
publish the above figures as matter
of information to the public.

Secures Funds for Deep Well
And Other Equipment for Use
BY the Camping Tourists.

L. H. Henderson, who has been in.
terested in getting Memorial Park
and the Free Camping site fitted
up in condition to make it one OF
the finest in this part of the state

been meeting with good success.
Enough funds will be raised in this
manner to sink the well.
Mr.. Henderson also states that
the iron and lumber is already on the
grounds for diving tower and bath

Der of carpenters have volunteered
their services free and will get up a

The names of those donating for
the park will be published next week.
Memorial Park was purchased by
the Du Pont Patriotic Association
and decided to the city and it has
become one of the most popular pic
mic and camping sites in this part of
Wisconsin. Hundreds of tourists
from every state in the Union spent
sometime in the Park during the
season and its popularity is
growing.

asleep when the family cat jumped

A GREAT BATTLE
IS EXPECTED
HIGH SCHOOL SCOUTS TO
MEET SATURDAY
Interest in Coming Basket Ball
Game is at Fever Heat and
Mammoth Crowd is Expect
ed to Attend.

The second game Of the series be-
tween the High School team and the
Scouts will be played Saturday even
ing, March 25, at the Du Pont Club
gym. The first game of the series
was played March 8, and resulted in
victory for the High School by
the unexpectedly close score of %
to 20, the Scouts showing more
strength than was credited to them.
The High School boys, fresh from
their victories at the tournament last
week, are determined to take the
second game in decisive fashion, and
the Scouts are equally wishful to
make it necessary to play third
game to decide the winner, of the
series. In any event, it is bound
to be a hot fight, and the game, to-
gether with the third of the series,
if three are played, will be the last
time either team plays on the local
floor this year.

Overlapping of City Offices

Law.

The following news item may be
of interest to the people of Wash

eff the membership on the Board
of Education is a "city Office" one
person cannot be alderman and a
member of the board of education at
the same time, according to the pre-
sent general charter law which went
into force this yeas. This was the
opinion of Attorney General William
j. Morgan, given to B. j. Carpenter,
Stevens Point, district attorney of
Columbia county,. The old special
charter of Stevens Point expressly
forbade such duplication of offices
by the same man, but the city is
now under the general charter law,
which specifically limits this "pro-
hibition of overlapping in Office" to
the municipal Office. News Item.

CALLED BY DEATH

Miss Anna Peterson, age 81 years,
died at her home on west Pine street
last Sunday afternoon at three
o'clock. Miss Anna had been an
invalid for the past three years, be-
ing sufferer from tuberculosis. For
a year she received treatment at the
sanitorium at Wales, Wis, and
about a year ago returned to this
city. Despite her illness Anna re-
fused to take to her bed and on Sun
day ate dinner with the members of
the family as usual, but at three
o'clock passed to her heavenly home.
The funeral was held his after
noon at two o'clock from the Nor
wegian Lutheran church, services be-
ing in charge of Rev. Chr. Christian
sen. Internnent was in Woodland
cemetery.
Anna Peterson, had she lived un-
til April 9th, would have been q
years of age. Her passing when
life was most promising was indeed
sad. Anna was young lady OF
beautiful character and despite her
illness was always happy and con-
tented, never complaining, but to the
contrary always endeavoring to make
others happy. Her face always
carried that happy smile which COW
cred up her bodily suffering and
even her most intimate friends failed
to realize that her life was drawing
to a close.
Annals both parents passed away
some years ago and the brothers and
sister left to mourn her are Marie,
Adolph, Perley and William, and a
grandfather Mr.. Andrew Hugdahl.
They have he sympathy of the COM
munity in their bereavement.
