ROAD REPAIRED BY CITY.

That part Of the Two Rivers road ",
ing within the limits of this city has
been repaired by the city and the town
of Manitowoc has been asked to repair
the part of the road lying within its
boundaries. If the town of Manitowoc
will act upon the request and make the
necessary repairs, the road will soon be
in use again.
The road within the limits of the city
Is now again in a fairly good condition
A force of men under the direction of
Street Commissioner Nollendorf have
built breakwater of stones and brush
filled in with gravel clay and other dis
integrated rock 1t is believed that
this wall will effectively resist the nc
ton of the waves and render the road
safe
The city has expended about $4,000 in
work at the Little Maptowoc to make
the road within the city limits pass
able. But unless the town will repair
the road, or open mp new road the
heavy expense the city has incurred will
result in but little benefit. However.
it is believed that the town can be com
PEELED to make the necessary repairs to
the thoroughfare within its limits.
