COINCII,N NOTES

The harbor committee recommend
ed that in addition to the dredging
heretofore decided upon. dredging
be done below Eighth street bridge
to the government shore line to uni
form depth of Il! feet to within 30
feet of the dock line on each side OF
the river, and that owners of docks be
required to dredge in front of their
lots a distance of 30 feet to depth of
al feet before July l, 1896. The
resolution requiring this was adopted
Sexton reported burial of Is females
and % males. Consideration Of rail
road ordinance was postponed for one
week. Several petitions for the con
struction Of sewers were presented.

THE Pilot does not believe IN granting
a perpetual franchise to the Chicago &
Northwestern. Neither does it believe 1t
wise to have the city act SO that the
company Will not make the improvements
it contemplates. Manitowoc should learn
something from It's past. When the Mil
waukee x Lake Shore road was com
pleteG little enterprise and public spirit
would have given us growth. ShebOygan
improved the opportunity and is now a
large city. We were Sheboygan's equal
up to that time. There must have been
some cause for the difference in the
growth of the two cities because we had
just as many opportunities as 1t had.
Should We not stop and reflect what 1t
was which made our sister city grow
while we actually went backward?
We have now a chance to retrieve our
losses. Will we do as we did in the early
70's, or Will we look at the situation in a
business way? Any person who asks
that the situation be looked at cOolly and
with a view to the best interests of the
city runs the danger of being considered
tool of the railroad company, just as 1t
was noIsed about that the committee who
went to Chicago to consult with Presl-
dent Hughitt were TO be bribed. But
| misrepresentation should deter no one
from asking the people TO look sensibly
upon a situation OF great importance to
them. A person can gain popularity by
! damning the railroad company and IN
sIsting they shouldn't get thing. If
| they could be damned without damnIng
ourselves The Pilot would raise no OBJ
| iections. A great deal of harm has been
done by needless denunciatlon. 1t does
20 good and prevents an adjustment
which will be of benefit to the city.
People should bear in mind that we
are on the threshold of a new era in lake
traffic. The harbOr which is first IN shape
to meet requirements is the one which
will earn the reputation. Commerce al
ways precedes manufacturing. Thus far
attention has been directed to Manitowot
and it has been conceded that the change
in lake traffic would benefit her first
| Now we say, after all the work that has
been done TO secure a large appropria
ton for our harbor, let the chance go
Is this wise?
We should look out for our own inter
ests and don't let us fool ourselves Will
the belief that ours is the only harbor OF
the lake. The man who thinks the wOrlC
can't get along without him is Away
badly undeceived.

HE city council took no action on the
railroad ordinance at it's meeting on
Monday last. The G.. X \. W. Ry. Go.
agreed TO an amendment OF the original
ordinance which would be an acceptance
of an unrestricted franchise for 10 years
during which the belt line Is to be bullt.
From present appearances tLls Will not
pass. Indeed every day makes agreement
more difficult and the company and city
are farther apart now than when nego-
tiatiOns were begun.
L. L Grape the general manager OF the
L. Il p NJ. and Harry Dean the state
agent, were in the city during the day
and were greatly discouraged a: the out
look. They came to the conclusion that
no ordinance can be secured which the
| G. Il n ". will accept and don't know
| what to do with their boat, as ferry boat
| is useless unless there are special facilities
/ for loading if. They left for Sheboygap on
| Tuesday mOrDlng to OOk over the harDOr
| at that place and see whether II would
| be possible to secure facilities there.
/ This announcement on their part waa
| called a bluif but they insisted they were
| serious. They explain that one line can
not give them sufficient business during
the summer if they make two trips day
and running lrregularly will destroy
their passenger business What effect
THIS withdrawal If withdrawal Genes
will have on the Wisconsin Central ar
rangement with the Z. x z. NJ. it Is diff
cult TO say. 1t certainly will not bt
beneficial.
The Manitowoc Coal X Dock Co. Is II
quandary. The business season Is opeI
and the present docks cannot be nse'
without extensive repairs. If those ar
made new docks may not be built, Ger
tainlY will not this year. On the who'll
the outlook is far from cheering.

ashes 1t had been fred during the
night and at two o'clock 1t was all ablaze.
Some parties in the early morning fol-
lowed some tracks which led from the
school through the fields. he dew
made 1t easy to follow the trail but the
search was not continued to ascertain
from what house the tracks proceeded
The building was insured for $500.

The situation Is critical to say the
least. 50 much feeling has been aroused
against the Northwestern that the council
really is not free to act DIS the business
sense of its members may suggest. This
is an unfortunate condition of affairs
and puts us at decided disadvantage.
The railroad company is, of course, very
exactlng, but our effort should be TO
come to terms. At present the advice to
give them nothing, mot a blank thing
is what wins popularity. IT it was the
company alone which was to be benefited
this advice would he emlnentIy sound
But the city has interests which should
receive consideration. Is it not best tC
talk the situation over in bushes way

This is not true. Nature has done more
for Manitowoc than it has for ShebOygan
but the people are different. Several
Manitowoc people refused to sign the

SENATOR Villas is certainly entitled TO
the gratitude of ManItowOc people for
the magnificent work he has done IN in
duclng the senate commerce committee
to increase the appropriation for the I'M
provement of the harbor at this place.
The report now carries S44,4OO, which
with the $1,000 for general work, makes
the sum SOL 400. There Is danger of a
veto by the President. The Sentinel
correspondent says that feeling prevails
in Washington. Cleveland has never
been favorable TO large approximations
and although he has not vetoed any river
and harbor appropriation, he has allowed
one to become law without bis sig
nature.
