How Do You Get That Way?

According TO statistics that can
be garnered from the report made
TO the state by the City of Hurley
the soft drink consumption in the
Iron city on the Wisconsin side of
the Montreal river runs to nearly
three quarters of a million bottles
a year This means that every
man, woman and child in Hurley
which contains about $500 people,
consumes about 800 bottles of soft
stuff each year or Is bottles each
month.
Either this is so OF the saloons
are making money some other way
than selling soft drinks. Let the
reader Judge for himself
During the year 1927, the sum
of s. 400 was paid to the municip-
ality of Hurley for soft drink per
mits. The profit on soft drinks is
about one cent a bottle, so in order
to make the license the soft drink
dealers would have had to sell
SAC. 600 bottles Of pop, root beer,
etc, in order to pay their licenses
alone and Of course a few more
bottles to pay the rent, heat, lights,
clerks salaries and little spend
ing money for the owner,
During the year 1922 the sum
paid into the Golfers Of the City of
Hurley ny the soft drink vendors
was S 500 or the profits on over
half a r.llion bottles Of pop.
II this amount Of soft drinks is
not consumed in Hurley then there
is something radically wrong and
the soft drink dealers are selling
otl4r things to make both ends
meet Ashland Press.

Another Cargo of Hard Coal.

With the above heading the Ash
land Press gives front page position
to news item heralding the arrival
of another cargo of bard coal, the
second for the season. The first
cargo arrived last week. Tis en-
Couraging news to note that at
least one cargo arrives each week,
but there will have to be a speed
ing up before enough coal has been
received at the Ashland docks to
supply the demand Many house
holders are still holding on to those
finely bedecked base burners in the
hopes that before severe weather
grips the country hard coal will be
available in sufficient amounts to
warrant keeping the old stove on
the floor.
The same item in the Ashland
paper reports that shipments of soft
coal have been fairly good during
the week.

You May Use Rifles for Rabbits.

For the reason that partridge and
grouse cannot be hunted with a
rifle many hunters are under the
impression that this ruling holds
good with regard to rabbits as well
But according to public announce
ment of an Ashland county warden
hunters may use rifles, if they so
desire, in hunting rabbits. OF
course the hunter must remember
that guns cannot be carried during
the period of five days previous to
the deer season unless knocked
down or in case. A number of
hunters were arrested and fined
for using rifles i'll hunting part
ridge during the season this fall,
most of them, no doubt, being
ignorant of that section of the law
which made the act a violation.

Preparing to Nab Game Law Vielators

That the Wisconsin Conserva-
tion commission will make every
effort to apprehend violators of the
game laws this fall is indicated by
the announcement that fourteen
wardens will be added to the force 5
now in the fields in the northern
sections of the state.
The additional force of wardens
was instructed to report for duty
this week and are now probably on
the Job and ready to get the
sooners' who can not wait for the
opening of the deer hunting SEA,
son.
Many of the new wardens have
been working i'll the southern part
of the state, are old hands at the
game and know their business.
The deer hunting season opens
OH Nov. I3 and continues to Nov.
%, both days inclusive. A buck
deer not less than one year old is
the only kind that can be killed
legally.
Every year many anxious hunt
ers who have not the patience to
wait until the ban is lifted or vii
fully go after deer before the open
ing of the season are apprehended
The latter class of fellows have no
regard for law nor have they any
regard for their fellow hunters.
Their sole ambition is TO get ahead
of the other fellow and fill their
license. 1t is this class of hunters
especially that the conservation
commission makes stringent efforts
to get, and that is one of the rea-
sons for the law that says five days
previous 10 the opening of the sea
son no guns are allowed to be carri-
ed unless they are knocked down
or in a case. The fine for viola
ton of the law is $50, together with
conhscatlon of ali hunting paraph-
ernalia.

jury verdict often hampers the at
tainment of justice. This pro-
posal involves an important change
in court procedure.
The suggested amendment to
enable sheritfs to succeed them
selves in office is proposed in order
that successful peace officers may
be continued in their positions.
For years there has been agitation
for a change in the cons titution to
permit sheriffs to hold office for
consecutive terms, but the propos
al has never been sanctioned by
the electorate.

to be closed to all traffic, including street cars, for at least two weeks af- ter completion. AS this would have increased the cost and would also have inconvenienced the trolley riding portion of the public, we decided to use Hassam compressed concrete. With this type of pavement it is not neces- Sary to keep the street cars OH TOT more than forty-eight hours.
 Arrangements were made with the Connecticut Hassam Paving Company to furnish a grout mixer, roller and other special tools, and work was commenced on State street early in May. As the wood blocks on the dummy were in fair condition the concrete was only laid in the two tracks, except between Broad and Main streets, where the dummy was
 Costs City $5O,25O.
 On Fairfield avenue the two tracks tracks were paved from Park avenue avenue the dummy seemed to be in fair condition so only the two tracks were paved.
 On North Main street between North avenue and Thorme street the area paved was 19 feet wide, includ- ing all the area between and two feet outside the rails.
 The total area on the three streets was 27.454 square yards and the cost was $71,OS5, of which the citys share, on the basis of the new paving law, vas $50,250.
 Permanent Pavement Contracted.
 In addition to the concrete pave ment on these three streets, 1900 square yards of granite block pave ment were laid on crOssovers and special work. The cost of the gran ite block was S63OO of which the city S share was $39O0.
 Two contracts for permanent pave ment were awarded by the Paving and Sewer Com mission for which spe- cfal aproriations were made by the the Board of Apportionment. %Oad street between Gilbert street end Fairfield avenue was paved with sheet asphalt outside of the car tracks and concrete in the tracks. Fairfield avenue between Park ave nue and Clinton avenue was paved with sheet asphalt Outside,of the car tracks. The tracks had already been Taved with concrete.
 Six extra catch basins were built on Fairfield avenue and four or street.
 The total area of these two con; tracts was 13,OOO square yards and the cost to the city was $35,OO0. Re-surface Work. The work on the new bitumfnou: n1aca dam was started about tht middle of May and continued for six months.

end the average cost per square yard was eighty eight cents.
 Repairs Made.
 We still have about 15O,OOO square yards of wood block and 5O,OOO square yards of brick pavement. As some of this wood block and most ot the brick is in poor condition we tried several experiments this year to see if we could prolong the life Of these paYements a few years. The holes iE the brick pavement were filled in with a mixture of stone and tar, and while it does not make perfect surface it is an improvement over th> old conditions and Is much cheapr than patching with new bricks.
 On Fairfield avenue and State street west of Clinton avenue part of the wood block pavement was treated with tar and part of 1t was with sand, the idea being to seal the pavement and keep the water from getting in under it.
 Both of these experiments seem to be successful.
 Many Grading Jobs.
 Two heavy grading jobs were started last winter as part of the city s unemp mployment relief program. Park avenue from Capitol avenue north is 100 feet wide but the traffic was con- fined to a narrow ungraded path about fifteen to twenty feet in width. This is being graded to the full width as far as Brooklawn avenue and at pres ent the work is more than half com pIeted, although. the job was shut down during the, summer in order to use the men on other work. e The grading of East Main street extension along the. east side of Beardsley Park is also more than half finished. This job was also shut down during the summer and the men used on other work. Sewers Cost $6O,OO0. Light ading was done on seventy streets at a cost of S40,000. No new water bound macadam roads were built this year, but fifteen streets were surfaced with cinders al | a cost of S2.500.
 Contracts were awarded by the Paving and Sewer Commission this | year for about S6O,O0o worth of sew | CTS, 75 per cent. of which are com 1 pleteG.
