TOWN Wins
bridge Case
WestfOrd in Richland
county Must Paw
One-Half of Struc-
ture Built in SauS
County

On Thursday in Richland Center
there was tried before Judge Small
ley an interesting bridge case.
The Oaks and Cazenovia road ex-
tends north and south and there
is a town road extending east and
west about on the town line. From
1859 to 1872 the town line high
way was not on the town line but
angled into Wo)dland. In 1879 it
was decided to erect a bridge
jointly, the stream crossed being
the Little Baraboo. From the year
1879 to 1919 the bridge remained
in Woodland and then was broken
down by a threshing machine en-
CINE crashing through it
After the accident the town OF
Westford in Richland county re-
fused to aid in building a bridge.
In 1922 the town of Woodland
built bridge, then brought an
action to recover One-half the cost,
the total being $1,824,78. The
statutes provide that in cases like
this the neighboring town must
pay although the bridge may not
be on the line. In the present case
the bridge was 70 feet in Sank
county. At one time a bridge over
the same stream in Westford went
out and the road was diverted i'll
order to take advantage of the
one in Sank county. There were
some old residents as witnesses,
the whole issue being whether the
north and south road is a part of
the east and west road The proof
was in favor Of Woodland and
Woodland won the case.
Among those who went from
BarabOo were Judge James H.
Hill, Attorney w. T. jerks, (the
foregoing trying the case), County
Highway Commissioner, William
Halbersleben, former Chairman of
the Highway Committee, r. B.
Griggs, City Engineer H. e. French
County Clerk Miss Nellie Sceales
and Fred Vol.
The witnesses from near the
bridge were William>Frazie Dolph
Mortimer James Mortimer, and
J.. j. Schroeder. There were also
a number OF Witnesses from Rich
land county.

'At the close of the late war it

Tense plan as there would be no
more war, but history for the pas:
1000 years leads us to believe to
the contrary. The men who plan

in the 1900 block on William
son street, has been shipped
, to Baraboo for burial.

were not obtained, but it is un-
dcrstood that the driver was a
Madison woman. She mingled with

ambulance came, but no one
thought to get her name.
The call for an ambulance was
answered by Sergt. Michael Loeb

the driver of the death car, but

lors. awaiting funeral plans.

He said that the four years of the
present pastorate had been happy
ones, and successful in church
growth. Mr.. Moore's fine influ-

much appreciated, and the contact
between his family and the church
folks had been congenial. Mr..

-Four years of the political cure fol
American farmers troubles have ac
complished two results. More impor.
tant OF the two is the growing con.
viction that economic laws cannot be
altered by political meddling. Only
when this fact is universally under
stood and appreciated we can hope
for concrete advancement in the farm
problems of America.
Relief measures have generally been
IN the direction of liberalization of
credits. Primarily, that method has
resulted in pyramiding farm indebt-
edness, accumulation of liabilities with
out increasing assets.
Liberal credits for farmers is right
principle. But the ailments of agri-
are deeper seated. With farm
products netting only losses, liberal
credits can only increase indebtedness.

Mexico. like the Philippines, is a coun-

The Only Solution

Boise project water users certainly
lever left any doubt in the minds Of
the public just what sentiment pre-
walls relative to A. p. Davis. One
may sometimes doubt the wisdom OF
conclusions reached by settlers on
federal projects but one can never
question the sincerely and emphasis
underlying them. So far as A. p.
Davis is concerned, The Tribune has
long been inclined to share the popular
opinion that merely a competent en-
gineer did not necessarily imply
competent executive ability or capa-
BILE management Of projects once con-
structed. A. p. Davis, we fancy, will
not find much support forthcoming in
his fight against the interior depart
ment from federal project settlers.
And it seems these people should be
equipped with facts.
Everyone hastily scans the papers
days to assure himself that fed
eral reclamation continues in the land
Of the living. That patient is i'll
that some expert medical at
is urgently required to restore
lie and vigor. Too many doctors,
We fancy. is probably the greatest
contributing cause of the mala-
Iy.
