IT makes publisher in Manitowoc
wish he was somewhere else when ex
changes are received trimming over with
advertisements. If there is any place on
Gods footstool a poorer place in which
to publish paper than Manitowoc or in
which more growing is done because "the
papers are no good" a portrait of it should
be sent to the Worlds Fair as curiosity.
A lot of old fossils who serve as brake
to progress actually believe that the
reason the place Goes not grow is because
of its newspapers, while the newspapers
of the city have better standing through
out the state than the city itself Bring
yourself up to the standing OF the papers
and you will have less reason to growl.
A glance lat the papers of the city will
show that two-thirds of the advertising
is from parties doing business outside
the CITY.

A. w. GLEASON,

THE city is financially in excellent con-
dition, There remain unpaid of railroad
indebtedness only $4,000, the sum of
$4,000 having been paid up. The whole
debt is due in 1892, but on account of
sewer and bridge tax no attempt will be
made to pay the bonded indebtedness
when it becomes due. This year the
bonded district school tax which with
interest amounted to $4,2S0 was paid up.
The city debt will be refunded when it
becomes due. 1t is thought the debt can
be refunded at 81 per cent. This with
the bridge bonds amounting to $4,000
will make the bonded indebtedness of the
city $4,000, which at 81 per cent. will
necessitate the annual payment of inter-
est So The annual interest paid on
the railroad debt before any bonds were
purchased was $5,250.
