If the dealer leaves the odometer where it is. he must provide the previous owner's mileage statement, which also includes his name and address.

Mini-Bikes Must Follow Motorcycle Laws Is it legal to operate mini-bikes on streets or highways? According to the division of motor vehicles, mini-bikes that are designed for street use. must be driven by an operator who is 16 or over and has a driver's license, and the driver must wear a helmet with eye protection and have the headlight on whenever the bike is in operation. But a mini-bike intended for off-road use would not qualify for registration, since it would not meet minimum equipment standards. To operate a mini-bike on a highway, it can be registered if certification is furnished from the manufacturer stating that the vehicle complies with federal guidelines for road use, and the vehicle conforms to Wisconsin equipment standards. But even if the mini-bike is registered, there are no circumstances where persons under 16 may cross a highway, or drive the bike on or adjacent to it.

Rapp's application of this rule to the supervisory employes has been challenged by one member of the highway committee, Supervisor Richard Ginnold, Dist. 20, Madison, and by several members of the County Finance Committee. THE CHALLENGERS say road crew employes working under the highway supervisors have to bring their sack lunches.

The County Highway Committee, which oversees Highway Department operations, also collects for meals with their routine committee meetings. ALL THIS is done in the name of tradition, highway officials say, even though there are county employe rules to the con- trary. i Five highway supervisory em-j ployes are paid for their nooni meals for every working day.

Highway Commissioner Paul1 Rapp says this compensation is a traditional "fringe benefit." Some members of the Highway Committee, notably Supervisors Russell McCarthy, Dist. 38. Cottage Grove; Harland Dahlk, Dist. 32, Verona; Henry Wechter, Dist. 31, Cross Plains; and George Reger, Dist.

"That's why the book collection is' so important," and why the books themselves will be one of her main priorities.

Upgrading the city's bookmo biles and branch libraries will be one of Jean's chief goals. Jean explained that she uses the branch libraries a lot because it is hard for her to get to the maid library, and that she feels the branches are "poorly supplied." Since Jean plans on remaining in Madison for at lesat her four college years, she sees no problem in sticking out her three-year term on the library board. In fact, she hopes to become involved in other city committees, especially those dealing with mass transit and cleaning up the lakes. as has been criticized and even boycotted by Ginnold who says he sees no reason for the committee to meet during the hour that it does.

By LINDA MAIMAN Of The State Journal Staff Libraries may be quiet, but Madison's Library Board certainly won't be now that Jean Jordan and Mrs.

Pat Field have joined its ranks. Both newly-appointed board members are energetic and articulate and are eager to add their ideas to the library system.
