The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1899-03-02

The city c0upcil of Mauitowoc will in
the future have work of very i'm portant
nature and involving considerable re-
sponslblIity. The city has reached it's
majority IN the matter of growth and ma
turlty and must incur new and larger
responsibilities than in the past. Fran
cblses are beng sought and must be
granted as wat they provide for have
become necessities. But public interests
Shouid be carefully guarded and the pos-
sibllltles OF the future considered before
anything Is given away.
Among the questions upon which the
DexJ council must act, are paving, street
railways, telephone exchange, gas plant.
these matters must receive consideration
on the broad principle OF conserving pub
lie interests and not to meet the pleasure
OF an Individual or any set OF indl viduals.
Each person has his own ideas on ques-
tiOns OF this nature and OF course all can
not harmoniza.
1t Is apparent there IS great need of
exercising the greatest care IN tie selec-
lion OF city council this spring, because
OF the important interests which must
be passed upon. MsnItowoc has always
had honest men on its board. The need
Is now for men of experience and inform
alton 80 as to act intelligently on matters
which are far reaching.
There is another question perhaps out
side the province of the council but
which is pressing FOR attention IN view
of the criticism which are becoming SO
common. That is the question of water
Are the charges made by the waterworks
company 10 excess of what the franchise
permits? Are the charges made in ad-
vance of those of other cities of equal
siz5? 1t ls essential that whatever In
vestlgatlon Is made should be by COM
petent authority and 1t is fully as essen
tlal that the facts as they exist should b ,
made known. An investigation of the facts
ls demanded by the wide spread dissatis-
factIonwhlch exists and which is constant
ly increasing and being encouraged. If
Jhsre is no reason for 1t 1t should be quiet
ed. LII there is reason for 1t the company
should be brought to task. But the first
thing to do Is to ascertain facts, There is
no doubt that the waste which was going
on for years was so prodigal that honest
consumers had to be called upon TO make
good the loss. But the proper thing to
do Is to get some basis of fact and 1t
should be Official and authoritative. Some
properly constituted committee should
make an Investigation. Let those having
grievances state them. IpquirIes should
be made IN other cities to ascertain rates
there and the character OF the service. Ii
higher rates are charged than the fran
chise permits, the city should give lmme
date relief, II higher rates are charged
than prevail in other cities, and are still
within the limits fixed by the franchise
some modification should be attempted
But the proper thing to do is to proceed
temoerately and with view to do justice
to all. To act on rumor Is to act un-
wisely.
