Farmer Fills Ditch;
May Be Court Case

A farmer residing on the Platteville
road has been filing the ditch adjacent
to his place put in by the highway pat
rolman, so that he can have an even
road driving out to the main highway.
The farmer insists that this is his
right and the highway officials insist
that a ditch is a necessity 10 carry the
water down the road. 1t is likely that
further filing in by the farmer will re-
suit in a test case to see who is in the
right.
The highway commission covers this
subject by a notice printed on all plan
blue prints for road work. This says:
"Culverts at all private entrances
must be provided by property owners
or the ditch kept open.-Sec. 1926
wisconsin statutes"

History of Herald
By Potosi Scribe

Our venerable Potosi scribe, Judge
E. M Wilmott, has prepared an inter-
esting history of the Grant County

best vein as a retrospect of the 81
years of the papers eventful and use
full life The judge is some old-timer
himself and like the Herald is vigor-
Gus and full of pep in spite of his
years. Judge Wilmott is a Grant
county native and has spent his entire
life in and around Potosi. He is well
qualified to handle the subject to be

Name Mix-up in
Heart Balm Suit

The Van F. Beran mentioned in the
Herald two weeks ago as a defendant
in a Des Moines breach of promise
suit, is not the Van ]. Beran who lived
here two years ago R. M. Orchard,
friend of the last named Van Beran,
says the other Van lives in Muscatine,
Iowa, and not Muscoda, Wis. The
Herald calls it a great similarity Of

FARMERS TELEPHONE co.
TO BEGIN NEW BUILDING

The Farmers Telephone Co. has ap-
proved plans for its new build ng and
work will be under way shortly after
April 1st. The plans call for build
ing 80 feet wide, so feet deep and 30
feet high with basement under all
The basement will be used for stor-
age, furnace room, ETC., and brick
vault. The second floor will be de-
voted to offices on the street with
work and storage rooms in the rear
The second floor will contain the
switch room, rack room, operators
rest room and directors room. The
building will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000. 1t will be built fireproof with
concrete foundations and interlocklng
tile upper-Structure.
The company has 460 local phones
and 212 rural phones on the Lancas-
ter board. In addition to these 226
phones receive switching service from
the Lancaster board The Hurricane
exchange has GO phones. The total
number of phones in the system eX-
elusive of switching phones is l,6O9.
100 phones are switched at Potos1 ~
addition to the large number OF regu-
lar patrons there.
Some confusion seems to exist as
to how the new building is financed.
The company must pay for its build
ing out of dividends or profits and is
not allowed to raise the rates to pro-
vide a building fund. In this manner
the non-stock holder who is phone
patron is protected by the rail rate
commission. Phone rates are fixed by
the commission and there is no chance
of an arbitrary raise in rates.
