Good morning, Ladysmith! We can
almost hear you whisper. Listen to
the news. Last week the road and
bridge committee, Mr.. Gobler, county
surveyor from Hayward, accompanied
by our town board, was down to Birch
Lake looking over the road around the
end of the lake. They found a bad
place and decided that it would be
much cheaper to build one mile of road
paralleling the lake north than put in
the bridge and fill in old road. The To-
cation of Birch lake is: NJ of the NE
n, 31-37-6. This new road will con-
meet up with the road in Rusk coun-
ty, running north from Ladysmith
through 1896. Work will commence
Aug. 10 and should be completed in
two weeks. This will make run Of
10 miles to Meadowbrook Center from
Ladysmith, against 81 miles around
