NOTES ON HIGHWAY WORK
DOINGS IN HIGHWAY COMMITS
SIONER RIST0W'S DEPART
MENT

Highway Commissioner Ristow and
road and bridge committee attended
the big road school at Madison last
week.
1t will be good news to all that the
committee has selected concrete as the
material for the road south of Viroqua
to the forks of No. IL and ~. All
the bids were rejected and the COM
mittee will meet with the city officials
to prepare joint estimates and in this
way are bound to get a lower price
because of the greater amount of road
to be bid on. State Engineer Hirst
has swung Wisconsin into line with
seven other states on concrete strike,
and will probably force concrete 35c
barrel lower, which will make diff
ference of about $2500 on mile of
road.
The new machine storage shed is
completed. It is an S0x40 galvanized
structure with string steel frame sup
porting a two-ton crane with large
radius. Windows are of Mississippi
wire glass. The building and roof are
guaranteed to withstand rs pounds
wind or snow pressure per square
foot. The appropriation for its con-
struetion was $4,000, and Commission
er Ristow has enough left out of this
to construct the new blacksmith shop.
The committee meets at Chaseburg
the Both with Hamburg and Harmony
town boards on a relocation project.
1t is proposed to abandon four miles
of road and two old bridges and put
in two miles of new road which will
serve the same people as well as the
old.
New auto trail and highway maps
will be issued by the Wisconsin High
way Commission about April 1. The
new maps will contain new features.
Various types of surfacing will be
shown in different colors, enabling the
tourist to see at a glance what kind
of roads his route has. The COM
mission proposes to place markers at
all streams, lakes, parks, springs and
camp sites. In addition it proposes to
place markers just outside the corpo-
rate limits of every city and village,
giving the name and population of
such city or village.

/. C. EXPLAINS
ANTI-MERGER CASE

The so-called anti-merger case
brought by the attorney general OF
Mississippi against the Illinois Cen
trail and Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
railroads has been compromised by
Attorney General Frank Robertson in
the chancery court at Clarksdale.
The railroads have paid 100000 to
cover teh states expenses and GER
tain penalties based on an alleged
violation of an ancient statute, long
since repealed, which prohibited one
corporation from buying stock in an
other, even if the two were not COM
lpetitors. The law was changed in
1910 to apply only to competing cor
operations. In all important particu-
lars the decree of the court sustains
the claims of the railroads.
The ownership and control of the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley by the
Illinois Central, having been express
ly authorized by the legislature, is
declared to be legal in all respects.
This ends litigation which began
nearly nine years ago, at a time
when it was the policy of the attor-
ney generals office to run amuck
with all sorts of raids upon legltl-
mate business. The suit demanded
the enforcement of the two railroads
and the payment of penalties
amounting to S140,OO0,O0O. No well
informed person has ever doubted
that Mississippi has been vastly
benefited by the help and support
that have been given to the Yazoo
& Mississippi Valley Railroad by the
Illinois Central. The older and
stronger line has lent its credit and
spent its money to construct new
lines that have traversed the Delta
section in all directions. The Yazoo
& Mississippi Valley has been trans
formed from struggling, weak line
into a substantial part of great
system-one of the best managed
railway properties in the United
States. AS pointed out by President
Markham in a recent letter to the
people of Mississippi dealing with
this suit, more than million dollars
back taxes was paid MANY years age
as the price of this consolidation.
1t is to be hoped that the present
settlement marks the end of railroad
batting in Mississippi. The presen
attorney general in no way. respon
sible for the institution of this suit
has done well to bring it to con
clusion. The Illinois Central, whll
:. doubtless smarting under the pay
ment of heavy fine for purel,
it technical breach of an obsolete an
d obscure statute, will find some com
fort in knowing that it has ended 1t
last dispute with the authorities Il
. Mississippi, and can work out IT
3 mans under the protection of thi
4 adjudication. This should mark tn
dawn of a new and better era II
Mississippi.
