Large New Building Ready for Occupation In City
A costly new building is nearing completion with ground floor offices slated for immediate use including the Recorder of Deeds. The city plans to replace trolley wires with storage batteries, while milk and food inspection expands to curb adulteration. Night street signs in illuminated glass improve navigation as New York and other cities struggle with nighttime visibility. A World’s Fair contest by Scott Seed Company promises trips and cash prizes for word building from letters in “World’s Fair,” with seed shipments offered for trial orders. Other notes report 50,000 brook trout received for Menominee County streams and a fatal choking incident in North Dakota involving a child.
