POPE STILL CLlNGS TO LIFE
Aged Ruler OF Catholic Church Is Failing
Rapidly At Rome

Pope Leo, whose death has been daily
expected for week past, still clings to
life and late dispatches from Rome re.
port but little change In his condition in
the past few days. All hope for the re.
covery Of the aged pontif has been
given up by the physicians In attendance
on the patient and his demise is but a
matter o! short time The wonderful
vitality of the Pope is the marvel of the
medical world. Pope Leo is "a years Of
age.
Arrangements have been made for
the announcement of the death of the
Pope when it shall occur and local cath.
olics will be informed of the sad event
by the tolling of the bells. Memorial
services will be held daily after the
death of Pope Leo until the election of
his successor, in accordance with the
custom Of the church.
There is much speculation as to the
probable successor of Pope Leo. Rome
dispatches convey the impression that
Cardinal Gibbons, of America, may be
elected or will control the selection 1t
is considered probable that Italy will
secure the succession, Cardinals Gotti
and Rampollo being the most promi-
nently mentioned candidates.

most important meeting Of Catholics
for the year and it is expected that 5000
visitors will attend.

Valuable City Property In Land Deal

An interesting land deal involving
property in this city has been announced
the Hinckley & Allen estate property
consisting of nine blocks on the lake
front between Park street and Cleve-
land Avenue on Fifth, has been pur-
chased by the Allen heirs. R. H. Allen,
Of Massachusetts, is in charge of
the property and was here this week
to arrange for the contract for the
building Of sea wall pier to join with
that being constructed by the city at
the Little Maniiowoc. The Hinckley q
Allen property has been in the hands of
a large number of the heirs of the two
original owners aud the many persons
interested made it hard matter to ad-
minister affairs This prompted the
sale by the Hinckley heirs Of their in
terests to the Allen people.

NOT AFFECT LOCAL ROUTES
New Ruling of Postal Department on Ru.
raj Free Delivery Service.

Rural mail delivery routes in Mani
towoc county will not be interfered with
by the new order issued by the Depart
ment which requires that no route shall
be maintained where the service is not
furnished to at least 100 families. In
several neighboring counties this will
mean the abandonment of some of the
routes already in operation and will be
bar to the establishment of new
routes. OF the seven routes in Manito-
woo county, no one has patron list of
less than 1875 families and of the pro-
posed new routes to complete the county
system which has been promised for
July, there are few that will not be es-
tablished because of not meeting the re-
quirements for the patron list
No definite information as to the pro-
posed establishment Of a County sys-
tenn here is obtainable. The Depart
ment gave favorable consideration to
the petition last Fall, but since the re-
cent developments in the department
and the discovery of gigantic frauds,
nothing has been given out 1t was an
nounced as the original intention to es-
tablish the system in July of the pres
ent year, but mas much as no survey
has been made at this time, the time
may be extended. Conditions In the
department and the large deficit may
result in curtailment of the rural free
delivery service and possibly veto any
extension of the service during the next
year or two. In this event, reasonable
to expect, the county service here will
not be established.

COST MAY EXCEED THE GIFT
Estimates On Carnegie Library Building
Higher Than Was Expected

Bids submitted by contractors for the
work on the new Carnegie library
building are too high, the probable cost
of the structure for which plans have
been secured being in excess of the gift
and work may be delayed unless the
city provides an additional fund.
Twenty-three bids were submitted to
the Library Board at the meeting held
Friday, the lowest being $22, S24 and
this does not include the entire work.
F. M. Garthwait, of Chicago, entered
the low bid and it is estimated that to
complete the building the cost with
this bid would be at least $26,5OO.
Other bids ranged from $23,272 to
$2S, 9S4 90 Additional estimates were
furnished on the heating and lighting
Of the building. which will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to $4,000. No
action was taken by the Board although
everal plans were discussed to bring
the cost of the structure within the
limits of the gift the one most general
ly favored being to not complete the
second story of the building until later.
Another suggestion was that subscrip-
| ton be circulated to raise the needed
sum to complete the building according
to the plans secured. Local contractors
we're among the lowest bidders on the
work.
New bids have been advertised for by
the Board and will be opened July 81.
1t is believed that the building can be
completed at the original estimate and
unless the new bids are within the limit
it is probable that one of the two sug-
gestions mentioned above will be adopt

al $4,000, ,0QO-Board of Review

Complaints made to the City Board
of Review and Equalization of Assess
ment which is now convened for ten
day session are not numerous and ii Is
improbable that many changes will be
made in the assessment as reported by
the assessors. The rolls this year will
show loss of nearly $500, 900 from the
assessment of year ago. This is the
result of the operation of the new mort
gage taxation law and the increased
number of exemptions in the classes of
property. 1t is impossible at this time
to secure complete report on the as
sessment, the officials not having finish
ed the work, but estimates given of the
reduction in the assessment will bear
ont the statement above. In view Of
the reduced assessment it is reasonable
to expect that next year the rate of tax
alton will of necessity have to be in
creased to secure the amount of the
taxes needed.
