The state highway commission has
ordered the new Stevens Point bridge
across the wisconsin river built at
Clarke ST., at the site of the structure
which was burned. The commission
estimated the cost of the new struc-
ture at $180,000. The state and coun-
ty will each pay one-third of the cost
providing the city raises a third It
will be necessary for the city to hold
a referendum on the question and vote

bridge will be reinforced concrete and
will be wider than the old one The
roadway is not to be less than 80 feet

Daylight saving time was officially
ended at Kenosha, when an order to
return to standard time was received
in ruling made by the attorney gen
erals office in Madison. The order
follows enactment into law of bill
prohibiting Wisconsin cities and
towns to adopt the daylight saving
plan. Kenosha officials are taking
steps to meet the provisions of the
order, City Manager G. M Osborn
said Factories of Kenosha are ex-
peNted to continue under the daylight
saving plan. Racine's common coun-
Gil voted informally to retain daylight
saving time for the remainder of the
summer. The city will remain on
standard time in 1924, however, in &C
cordance with the state law.
Smallpox has spread SO rapidly in
certain farming localities near Water
town that G. A Harper, state health
officer, threatens to take hand in
the situation unless the quarantine
rules are rigidly enforced. In the
Valley school district II cases are re-
ported and there are three other cases
in the township. There are also a
number of cases at Waterfowl and
DIR. r. G. Hanley, city health officer,
is threatening to use police measures
if folks do not respect quarantine
rules. One school recently had to
close for several weeks owing to
spread Of contagious diseases among
the pupils. Hundreds of persons are
being vaccinated 1t is charged by
the health authorities that in many
families the sick person has not been
isolated.
Practically all the patrons of at
least two cheese factories in the ter
ritory tributary to Clintonville have
signed up to have their herds of cat
tie tested for tuberculosis Early this
spring local newspaper offered a
silk banner to the factory whose pa
irons should be the first to make a
clean sweep of the "TB" test. Partly
because of the interest thus created
and partly because of the fact that
Waupaca county is becoming big
buying market for high grade cattle,
there now is an agitation looking to
clean sweep Of the county in an
effort to free the county from all
traces of tuberculosis and thus to still
further increase the popularity of the
county for buyers of milk cattle and
also to eradicate any tendencies to
disease which may result from bovine
tuberculosis.
