COULD BE SUCCESS IN NORFOLK The Plan of Having a Bargain Day and Market Day In Town Once Every So Often , Is Working Other Places Up to Commercial Club. G A. Ktihl Is authority for the statement thnt the plan suggested In these columns Borne weeks ngo , for the developing of n bargain or market dny In Norfolk once n month , Is now being successfully worked , nnd bus been successfully worked for some time , nt Watortown , Wisconsin. Wntortown la n Gorman community , so that the same plan which would work well there ought to work equally well In Norfolk. The "market day" custom there wns brought over to thla country from Germany by the early settlors. On one day of each week every Tuesday there Is a "market dny. " On that day the Gorman far mers from , miles around flock Into the city with every article of nny des cription whntevor , which they wish to trade. Ono man will como twenty- flvo miles with uu old buggy which ho wants to get rid of , nnd another from another neighborhood will como In prepared to trade something for n buggy. Mr. Kuhl says that the day Is a rnngnlllcont success and has been for years. Hundreds of farmers come to town every Tuesday for this oc casion. And , to supplement the bargnln dny , an annual three days' fair Is held whlcfi Is Inrgoly attended. "I have seen this plan work In the German settlement of Wisconsin , " said Mr. Kuhl , "and I know that It would work In Norfolk. It ought to be given n trlnl by the Commerclnl Club of Norfolk. " CITY HAS PURCHASED AN ACRE OF GRAVEL FOR WORK. WILL BEGIN HAULING THIS WEEK It is Estimated- That 1,000 Loads of Gravel Will be Necessary Anyone May Haul at Seventy.five Cents Per Load From First to Sixth. [ From Monday's Dally.l Norfolk avenue , between First and Sixth streets , Is to be paved with grav el. The work of covering the main street of the city with this material will begin this week , as soon as the rend Is dry enough. It is thought that the hauling of the gravel will begin probably about Thursday. The city council , through a commit tee recently appointed for that work , Saturday afternoon purchased from Mr. Rnasch , living west of the city , an acre of his farm. In this acre Is much gravel fit for use on the streets , and i from the pit 1,000 loads will be hauled for the purpose of covering Norfolk avenue. Anyone who desires to haul gravel will be nllowed to do so and the city will pay for the work seventy-five cents per load , each loadto contain one and n hnlf cubic yards of gravel. The graveling wns almost necessarj because of the gutters that have just been built. Without gravel It wns feared water would soak undernenth the gutters and , when n freeze came crack the concrete. The gravel , on the other hand , Is calculated to act as a pavement which will turn the wnter directly Into the gutters. The coat of gravel will be several inches deep. It Is believed that , now that a grav el pit has been secured , First stree1 will also be graveled , making a June tlon roadway of high excellence am making possible nn automobile passen gcr line.
