Resolution No. 7.

Whereas, state highway runs
over and along Wall street and
Railroad street in the village of
Eagle River, in Villas county, and,
Whereas the said village of
Eagle River wishes during the
year Of 1923 to- improve said Wall
and Railroad streets by paving
the same for three blocks with
concrete, and has petitioned this
county to cooperate with said vii
lage and at the same time pave
said highway 80 for two blocks on
said Wall street and one block on
said Railroad street to a width of
eighteen feet, and,
Whereas it is the opinion of this
board that such improvement
should be made and this county
should in every way cooperate
with the village of Eagle River to
the end that said contemplated
improvement be made to cover
the full width of said streets for
said three blocks, and,
Whereas the state aid for the
year 1923 has been allotted and no
part of it can be used for this i'm
provement,
Now therefore be it resolved
that there shall be allotted out of
the first fifty percent of the state
aid for the year 1924 and out of
the county's one and one-half
times said fiftey percent required
to be levied to meet said state aid
such sum as may be necessary to

wide through the center of said
Wall and Railroad streets for
three blocks and intersections and

Resolution No. 1.

Whereas, there has been intro
duced in the assembly of the state
of Wisconsin, Bill No. 222A, which
bill repeats the law enabling the
college of agriculture of the uni
versity of Wisconsin to give land
clearing demonstrations, and
Whereas, during the last several
years Villas county and other
counties adjoining in upper Wis
consin have greatly benefited from
the work Of the land clearing de-
partment of the college of agri-
culture in that the clearing of
land has received encouragement
and impetus, the farmer has been
enabled to- purchase land clearing
materials, especially explosives, at
a much ] over price than ever be-
fore and has learned new and SAT-
er methods of handling these ex-
plosives, and the wealth of the
counties effected has been greatly
increased and
Whereas, thru the activities Of
the said department of the col
lege of agriculture cheaper ex-
plosives have been evolved from
salvage war material and there be-
ing a large amount of this mater
ial yet to be used.
Now, therefore, be it resolved
by the county board Of supervis-
ors Of Villas county that it is to
the best interests of said county
and upper Wisconsin and to the
state Of Wisconsin as a whole
that the work of the said depart
ment be continued and that an
appropriation large enough to car
ny on the work be made by the
legislature, and that Bill No 222A
should not become a law.

BRITISH OPPORTUNITY ID TRADE WITH CANADA

LONDON, Apr. 17.-Sir Phillip l.. Greame, president of the Board of Trade in a speech in the House of Commons yesterday on motion for the fostering of trade with the Brit ish dominions pointed out that British traders have a great opportunity to trade with Canada as against the United States, owing to economic con ditions prevailing. He said that the United States were bound to discover that it was impossible to adopt pol icy of exclusive protection (meaning the tariff) and at the same time do great export trade. He said that it was a vital moment for merchants to seek way into markets where there had been American competition bus where the competition will have slack ed now owing to the American tariff.
