The Milwaukee Sentinel recently
in speaking of Thomas Palmer, an ear
| ly resident of Milwaukee and Mayville
says that Mr. Palmer was in the legisla-
ture of 1859 from Dodge county with
Fred Horn, of Cedarburgh, and Carl
Schurz, who represented Watertown. !"
This is mistake so far as Mr.. Schurz is
concerned, that gentleman havingnever
been a member of the legislature from
| Watertown. The only office ever held
| by Mr.. Schurz while resident of this
city, was that of alderman of the Fifth

j. II. Thompson, of Chicago, was
| before the Board of Street Commission
ers at their meeting Monday evening,
explaining his plan for the establishing
of water-works in this city. He was
very concise in his details and gave a
very full explanation of the water
works system. In answer to the objec
tons to water-works brought forward
by some on account of the inability of
the city to stand the expense at this
time, we would say that the proposition
does not call for the payment Of any of
the money until next year, when the
city would be amply able to meet
it with little if any additional tax. In
this connection what can be saved to
the city by having water-works, aside
from any value being placed on their
convenience or utility, should have due
weight in considering the proposition
to establish them here.
