Some of the vessel men. particularly
captains of the large lake steamers are
earnestly advocating the widening of
the Eighth street bridge SO that the larg.

without any possible danger They ri
SO suggest the same Improvement for
the Tenth street bridge, and they say
that if Manitowoc sees fit TO make these
Improvements to the harbor, it will
have a tendency to bring the larger
grain arlying ships into port
1t would be u good move, sud a
lake captain, If both bridges were wild
ened anywhere from twelve to eighteen
feet. While the work may be expens.
i've, entailing possible cost Of from
$4,000 to S25,00O, yet the benefits ac-
cruing to the city through increased
shipping would more than recCmpensa
for the outlay. 1t is the Judgment OF
all the sailing masters that these bridge,
should be widened and with several
other improvements the harbor of Man.

1t was understood from the same
source that apetirion would be circulat
