City moves to enforce crossings at Central avenue
City Attorney E C Pors will begin action before week end to compel railway firms to add gates at Central avenue crossings, arguing violations of city ordinances. A likely state law basis and quick service are anticipated amid a firm, potentially protracted legal contest. The Roddis Veneer Co held a stockholders meeting approving a $50,000 stock increase from undivided profits after strong year and city residents welcomed the firm’s prosperity. A hunting club formed near Marshfield plans a ten day trip with Peter Daul as president. Miss Jennie Hudson of Baraboo wed Vet Marsh of Clark, who will operate the Economic Kitchen Roaster in Chilton. A dancing club for five winter parties was organized by married residents with Adams’ Fall Orchestra engaged for five dates. The Wood County Board of Supervisors gathered at Grand Rapids for extended sessions to address county matters, including the county poor question and assessment supervisor race, with P N Christensen urged as a top candidate. A Chippewa Falls note predicts a mild winter based on muskrat behavior, while a buggy accident near Moses LaBelle’s cemetery road left occupants shaken but unharmed and vehicles damaged.
