RURAL SCHOOL IS CONVERTED TO TOWN HALL

 

Neillsville-The former Hewettville School, 7 miles west of Neillsville, now is the new Hewett Town Hall.  Built about 1890 at a location near the Snyder dam and airport, the school was moved several years ago to its present location at a four corners, a mile north of the Julius Martens and Kapfer corner.  The building was recently improved with a new roof, new chimney, newly painted and a well was drilled for water supply.

 

During the year the town of Hewett decided it would like to sell the old town hall located on old Highway 18, about 2 miles east of Wildcat Mound.  It was then decided to purchase the Hewettville School, which was owned by the Neillsville High School district, but not in use.

 

A bid of $900 was accepted by the school district.  The township then sold the old town hall to Albert Marg and a group of friends of Neillsville for $416 to be used for a hunting lodge.  The old town hall has been painted by the new owners.  The new town hall is equipped with electric lights, furnace and is larger and at a more convenient location for the large portion of the township citizens.

 

Arlo Durst, town chairman, also reports the completion of a new bridge over Hay Meadow Creek, a mile north of the Arlo Durst farm, on an east and west road of the township.  The bridge was constructed of wood pilings with a concrete bridge floor.
