Dumping Refuse in
River Prohibited
Council Takes Action to Prevent Fill.
thy Condition of River Between
lronwood and Hurley.

Dumping or throwing of garbage
or refuse into the Montreal river or
on the banks thereof, within the linn
its of the city of Hurley, will be a Vi
olation of Ordinance No. 80, which
becomes effective after its publica-
ton. The ordinance was passed at
special meeting of the city council
Thursday evening. Any person or
firm violating the ordinance will be
subject to fine of not less than $40
nor more than $780, or by imprison-
ment in the county Jail
The filthy condition of the Montre-
al river between IronwoOd and Hur-
ley has been a matter of much con
Germ to the authorities of both cities
during the summer. Lack of water
due to the dry season helped to ag-
gravate the condition. A short time
ago crews of men were put to work
cleaning out the river. Some people
have made it habit to dump garb-
age and refuse in the river and on
the banks, thus furnishing an easy
way to get rid of garbage and refuse,
but making an unsightly appearance
along the river. With the enforce
ment Of the ordinance passed Thurs
day evening this practice will be
stopped.
The fact that sewer from the
Hurley side has its outlet in the river
near the bridge has also tended to
make the river filthy. When the out
let was placed at its present location
years ago there was plenty Of water
in the river and the sewage was car
ried down stream. During the latter
years, however, the amount of water
in the river has gradually decreased
SO that there has not been enough to
carry away the sewage, especially
during the summer and more so this
wear on account of the prevailing
dry spell. The matter of changing
the Silver street sewer outlet and
placing it further down the stream
below the gas plant has been consld-
cred. At Thursday evenings meet
ing of the city council committee
was named to meet with Ironwood
authorities and take action in the
matter. Aldermen Henry Garter,
Dominic Friola and NJ. ". Froney
were named as the committee.
Sixth Avenue Sewer.
The matter of laying sewer IN
Sixth Avenue on the north side Of
the city came up for discussion. The
need of a sewer in that neighborhood
Is apparent, but the city is in no
position financially to do the work
this year. The board of public works
was instructed to interview the
property owners and ascertain If
/ they would be willing to bear the
cost of laying a sewer.
Appoint Chief of Fire Department.
John Morris was appointed to the
posjtion of chief of be fire depart
ment made vacant with the resigna-
ton Of Albert LaMarche, who served
as chief for many years.

The responsibility Of the individ-
ual was never greater than now, yet
there has been a growing disposition
to let governments, whether they be
national, state or local, function in
all matters, and blame this intanG-
ible thing called government il any
thing goes awry.
There never has been a time in
the affairs of the people Of this coun-
try when a higher standard Of indi-
vidual character and conduct was es-
sential than now.
Determined influences are being
exerted to undermine the regard of
the individual for the very laws
which the individuals, collectively,
through their representatives, have
enacted as rules of their own con-
duct and relations to one another
If a clear understanding of midi
vidual responsibility in matters af-
fecting the common good could be
gained, there would never be even
the remote possibility Of failure IN
any worthy undertaking.
Neither would there be any failure
in the community, the state or the
home Of the effort to establish aud
maintain harmonious conditions This
happy realization is not always
reached. but this is because some in
dividual. or group of Individuals, are
unable or unwilling TO contribute un-
eelfishly to the total
The failure Of most community en-
terprises is in large measure due to
the uuwilingness Of some individuals
to realize their responsibility to the
community and bear then share Of
it.
The communities that get ahead
are those where the merchants, the
profes ional men, the laboune maI
and all other groups have deep
sense Of their individual obligation

School Attendance
Increases in State
Increase in Enrolment Expected at
State University; Normal Atten-
dance Shows Decrease.

Madison-All units of Wisconsin's
public school system will be function
ing within few weeks with an at
tendance that will probably reach
600, 600.
Common schools are in operation
IN all sections of the state with in
creased attendance reported from all
sections. With a school census show
ing last year that Wisconsin had
S58,259 young people between the
ages of four and 20, the public
schools showed a total enrolment of
507,254. This figure has been con-
siderably enlarged this year, though
the amount Of the increase has not
yet been computed
The University of Wisconsin with
an attendance last year of over 5000
is expected to show a considerable
increase in enrolment by the time
registration days are over
Predictions here are that the nine
normal schools of Wisconsin will
show a decreased enrolment this
year This is attributed to the fact
that there is an over-supply of teach
ers with teacher training one of the
chief functions of the normal insti-
tutions
Last year the nine normal schools
had a total enrolment Of 1868.
Most of the normal schools viii start
sessions from Sept. Ia to Sept II
this year with Lacrosse normal not
scheduled to start activities until
Sept. %.
The figures are exclusive of all
private and parochial schools where
many Wisconsin young people pur-
sue their studies.
Madison stands out as being the
most schooled city in Wisconsin with
estimates showing that with popu-
lation Of about 10000, about 10000
young people 20 TO school here. This
figure includes the 5000 attending
the university, the 5000 attending
the public schools, ;he 800 attend
ing the parochial schools with num-
Der Of other private schools proving
a scholastic attraction.

Many Issues to Be
Voted on Next Year
Election of New Governor and Com
nlete State Ticket and Wet and
Dry Referendum.

When the smoke of the present
oomnairn to elect a successor to Sen
otor Robert NJ. La Toilette clears
nav Wisconsin balloters will have
I'll than a year to educate them
selves on many issues to be voted on
q wear from this Fall.
The question of electing govern
or and a complete state ticket will in
itself probably bring more interest to
voters than the United States sena-
to,ship. Whoever wins the govern
orsbjp race, it will be new man in
that positionr although one or two
other positions on the state ticket
NAV find reflections. Then too, the
hattie that is to be waged between
Gov John ]. Blaine and Senator |.
l. Lenroot has already resulted in
preliminary skirmishes.
The voters will be asked to decide
whether they want to raise the gov
ernor's salary to $4,000 year from
its present status of $4,000 and as
to whether they want the chance to
recall elective public officials.
But most interest is centered on
the question of voting to modify the
prohibitlon laws. The last legisla-
tufe adopted resolution putting the
question Of modification to the voters
next Fall so that the next Legislature
might know positively the sentiments
of Wisconsin people on the wet ques-
ton. After this action was taken
it was found that the passage of a
bill would be necessary to provide
the necessary expenses but it was too
late to introduce bill. Some hold
that the question cannot be submit
ted to the voters without an enabling
act Vets insist that the will of the
legislature must be carried out.
Whether there is to be a referen-
dun to find how the people stand on
the wet and dry question is up to
Secretary of State Fred r. thinner
man Fearing that he might refuse
TO submit the question to the voters,
the legislature adopted a second res
olution ordering him to comply with
the first resolution without the enab-
ling act
In spite of the second resolution,
it is pointed out, the secretary of
state has the power to refuse to place
the question before the voters be
cause of the failure of the legislature
to comply with regulations usually
considered necessary.
Secretary of State Zimmerman has
as yet not given his attitude on the
wet resolutions. A court fight is pos
sible to attempt to force him to per-
nit the referendum to go through
without the necessary machinery.
The referendum, if it is carried
out, would be the first attempt in
Wisconsin since prohibition went in
to effect to find just how public sent
iment stood.

School Contract Goes
to Ashland Firm
Bid of Tomlinson & Egan Accepted
and Contract Awarded; Bids on
Gle School Rejected.

The general construction contract
for the new 12-room school building
at Montreal was awarded to an Ash,
land firm, Tomhnson & Egan. when
bids were opened by the district
school board last Friday afternoon.
The bid of the Ashland firm was $751;
$50.
Four other bids were submitted, as
follows; p. J. Nickel Co, Ironwood,
SIS, 863; Foster Construction Co,
Milwaukee, $s4.945; Smith Construc-
ton Co., Duluth, $S0,SO0; Berg Com
struction CO., St. Paul, $59,94O.
a representative of the Berg Com
struction CO., requested that he be
allowed to withdraw his bid, explain
ing that he had made mistake in
his figures. The bid of this COM
pany, although the lowest, was there
fore rejected
Although the next lowest bid was
that of the Smith Construction Co.
Of Duluth, the board took into con,
sideration the fact that the Tomlin-
son 4 Egan firm is already on the
ground and would be better able to
begin early construction of the build
ing, hence awarded the contract to
the Ashland firm, the difference be-
tween its bid and that of the Duluth
concern being very little. The Ash
land firm is now working on two big
jobs at lronwood, having under con-
struction the st. Ambrose church and
parsonage and a big garage building,
and thus has equipment and crews
near at hand so that there would be
no delay in starting the construction
of the Montreal school building
Local Firms Get Contracts.
Two local firms, the Twin City
Plumbing and Heating Co. and the
Hurley Electric Co., we're awarded
contracts in connection with the
Montreal building The formers bid

tric Co.

be approximately 100000, The
sum of Sl15,0OO was appropriated by
the school district to erect and equip
a l2-room grade school building, with
provisions for domestic science and
manual training, at Montreal
Gle Building Bids Rejected.
Bids for the construction of a two
room school building at Gle were al
so opened last Friday afternoon, but
on account of being considered too
high were rejected Changes in the

few hints to motorists:
Drive at a reasonable speed at
all times.
Keep your brakes in good shape
all the time-it Is a protection for
yourself and everybody else in
Washington. Don't wait for the
police to stop you before getting
your brakes fixed.
Be particularly careful when
ever you see children in the street
or on pavements nearby. Children
dart out into the street suddenly.
Motorists should always be on the
lookout for them.
Don't park downtown all day. 1t
will only mean trouble for yourself
and inconvenience for others. On
certain .stcaets parking Is prohibited
during certain hours. On others in
the congested zone a one-hour park
ing rule win be effective.
