SADDLE MOUND
Wisconsin - Jackson County
August 25, 1931: "Many of the cranberry men believe that because Wood county is in District No. 11 fire zone protection is poor. They point to the rigid policy of watching and extinguishing small blazes over at Saddle Mound fire tower, just across the line into Jackson county. That is another district. District No. 1q1, partly because headquarters are way down at Friendship, has a reputation for being one of the most poorly managed zones in the state. What is the reason? Central Wisconsin returned a good vote for those in power at Madison last year. Aren't we entitled to a little consideration?" (Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune)
