GOVERNMENT TOO SEVERE.
So Say the Mill Men of Neenah and
Menasha.

Menasha, Wis, Nov. 21.-[Special.JE
The order for the closing Of navigation,
which was issued by Engineer Mann
terday, will have no effect upon the
privileges of the millmen here. Former
ly when navigation closed it was under
stood that all restrictions on the use of
water by the millmen were removed.
This year the millmen have been given
to understand that the order of the gov
eminent issued last July fixing the low
water mark at IS inches below the crest
of the Menasha dam is still in force
and any violation Of it will be prosecut-
ed. The water this morning stood 10
inches higher than when navigation
closed last year and 4 inches above the
low water mark. The millmen feel that
the government is too severe in enforcing
its order after navigation has closed.
