At a meeting of the
Kaukauna Liquor Dealers Protective Association No. 15, it was agreed by all
members not to sell any intoxicating liquors to anyone who neglects his family
or those dependent upon him for support. The members of the association also
wish to say to all persons that if they have any member of the family who
drinks to excess, if the name of such parties is sent to the secretary of the
association, we will take action at once to forbid members of our association
from selling to the party in question.

The city has solved its
dilemma in regard to the scarcity of water in a very sensible manner so that
now the big reservoir and standpipe are full. The Green Bay and Mississippi
Canal company kindly gave the water works commissioner’s permission to use all
the water they needed from their fine artesian well at the site of the old
Badger Mill. City Engineer Hyland at once laid a 1,500-foot line of hose from
the well to the reservoir and soon had that big cistern running over, and he
then proceeded to fill the standpipe.
