JOHN SCHUETTE feels so elated over the
event that he has outlived his first life
insurance policy, that he concluded to
put it where it might do more good than
by adding it to his surplus, and has dis
posed of it in the following commendable
manner:
To the Hon. Mayor and Board of Al
dernaen Of the city Of Manitouoc GEN
TLEMEN! Just 20 years ago to-day |
took out my first one thousand dollars
life insurance policy, payable 90 years
after date or any time before if I died.
Often during these many years, espec-
tally at times when feared that the pol
icy might prematurely become due, l
vowed that if I should be allowed to live
in good health and circumstances to re-
receive this amount myself would ap-
propriate it to charity.
The policy has now matured. and in
the fulfllment of my VOW hereby ten
der this $1,000 to the city of Manitowoc
for the benefit of the poor on the follow
ing conditions:
l. That the board of poor commission
ers, or its successors, shall be the trus.
tees Of said sum to be known as the
Christmas fund.-"
2. That they shall loan said fund on
first lien security.
3. That the income of said fund shall
be expended and distributed by them in
presents of any kind or nature each
Christmas, among the city's poor; or il
preferable, the selection or distribution
may be left to any Aid Society, or in any
other way or manner deemed most ex.
pedient. JOIN ScHuFrrE

S. A. WOOD is improving and gives
promise not only of overcoming his re-
cent attack, but in a great measure to
overcome the affection he has endured for
years. There is not a person who knows
Mr.. Wood who will not be pleased to
learn this. Large hearted and public
spirited, conservative and at the same
time progressive, he is such a man as any
city may be pleased to number among its
citizens. Uncle Wood" occupies large
place in the hearts of the people of this
city and he fully deserves the esteem in
which he is held.

THE $4,000 stock required to induce
the American Desk & Seating Co. of Chi
cago, to locate at this place has practi-
cally been taken by residents of the city
and a few persons from the utlying
towns. At the meeting of the Business
Mems Association held on Tuesday,
George Cooper was appointed to assist
Messers. Dickerman and Hubbard to in
ventory the property of Hubbard & Noble
which is to be turned in as stock in the
new concern. The President of the As
ISOLATION was authorized to appoint a
committee to visit Chicago and make an
examination of the plant now owned by
Mr.. Dickerman, after the inventory of
the Hubbard & Noble plant is completed.
Upon the report of this committee de-
ponds the final arrangement with refer
ence to the location of the factory at this
place.
The amount raised by the city is a
surprise to every one as the most san
guine hardly dared to expect success
The amount is so large that it precludes
for time any assistance being given to
other institutions contemplating location
here. The following is a list of subscrib-
ers and the amount of stock each has
agreed to take:

The democratic state central commit
tee has changed the basis of representa-
ton for delegates to the state convention,
and as the last congressional convention
held at Green Bay decided to adopt the
same method which prevailed at the state
convention, the counties constituting the
Fifth district will have their representa-
ton materially changed. One delegate
is allowed for every 800 votes cast for
Cleveland. On this basis Manitowoc has
s delegates; Sheboygan s; Brown Z; Cal
umet 4; Kewaunee 4; Ozankee 4,-mak-
ing 80 delegates in all. On the old basis,
Manitowoc would now have only six del
egates, having only two full assembly
districts, one fractional, and one fraction
al senatorial district. Brown, Sheboygan,
Kewaunee and Ozaukee, each gain
one delegate, while the representation
from Calumet and Manitowoc remains
unchanged.

THE committee appointed by the coun-
ty board to negotiate the purchase of
county bonds to the extent made possible
by the amount of the sinking fund. met
in the city on Tuesday. The committee
consists of J. P. Nolan of Maple Grove.
Fred Schuette of this city and John
Murphy of Cato. The bonds sell at 5
per cent premium and the full years in
terest-not due for three months. Even
at this figure the holders of the bonds
are by no means anxious to part with
them. Some Of the bonds are held in
this city, some in Sheboygan and the
greatest number in New York. The
bonds become due in July 1890 but they
can then be refunded at much less rate
of interest than they now bear.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1888-03-22

1t is little unfortunate that steps had
not been taken ten years ago to create a
sinking fund as bonds could then be pur-
chased at less than their face and consid-
cradle interest would be saved. For IS
years the county has been paying out
annually about $4,000 per year interest
which in the aggregate is much more
than the original amount OF the debt.
Had sinking fund of $4,000 per year
been provided ten years ago the saving
IN interest would now be about $1,000
per year.
