For New Rural
Postal Route
In ManitOwOc
Acting Special Agent McSwain
Here, Looking Over Ground
And Examining Applicants
WILL EXTEND NORTH TO KlNGSBRlDGE
Eleven Try For The Position Which
Pays a Salary OF Only Six Hundred
Dollars Year

Manitowoc County will, in al proba-
bility, IN the near future have another
rural postal delivery route. Acting
Special Agent S. A. McSwain was here
Tuesday and went over the ground and
examined applicants for the position OF
carrier.
The route examined was from this
city north along the Shoto road to Franz
Corner, from there west one mile to klel,
from Kiel north again to Kingsbri dge,
from Kingsbridge east to Schmldts,
gradually winding back to Shoto, and
thence by Rutz's, Raatzs, Marquardt :
and Tronson's, back to Manitowoc.
Tuesday afternoon Mr. McSwain ex-
amined the following applicants for the
position of carrier: Chas. Herzog, Lon
Smith, Geo Bean, Fred Keil, John
Galbraith, Chas Houghton, s. G. Ter
kleson, Paul Rohan, John A. Brown Ar
thur Kansier aud one other whose name
conld not be learned.
The result of the route inspection and
of the examination will he forwarded to
Headquarters, and, while the final de-
cision on the matter has yet to be made.
it is more than probable that the route
will be established. The position of car
rier at present pays only $500 II year, ont
of which sum the incumbent must keep
his horses
The work which Mr.. McSwain is do
ing in this county is not what is called
county service. County service
wonld mean that practically every farm
in the county would be covered by route.
To get this the county would in the
first place have to he thickly enough
populated to warrant it and the recon-
mendation would have to be made by
the congressman of the district. The
present system is put in simply on pc
tition and at present the only new petit
ton which has been presented to the de-
partment from this county is the one
for the route which Mr.. McSwain in
pected Tuesday.

Dispute Over
The Fire Rules
Is Now Settled
Commissioners Will Meet
Council Committee and
Revise the Book

According 70 mutual agreement, May
or kemp9r, City Atty Schmitz, Alder
men Kennedy Phalen, Mueller, and
Mulholland met the Board of Police
and Fire Commissioners last Friday
evening and came to an amicable agree
ment on the much agitated and agitat-
ing question of the validity of the Book
of Rules issued by the Commissioners.
In calling the meeting to order the
Mayor briefly called attention to the
dispute which had arisen over the mat
ter, to the recent resolution of the coun-
Gil, thrawing the rules out, and to the
purpose of the purpose of the present
meeting, which was to come to some
peacable understanding, and, if neces-
sary, to revise the rules
Pres Richter, of the Board of Com
missioners, remarked that he and Fire
Chief Kratz had met and looked over
the rules, and that ut the Chiefs sug-
gestion he had agreed to call meeting
revising some of the rules The Chief,
he said, had wanted only about twelve
out Of ih4 119 rules changed and these
the Commissioners were perfectly will
ing to change A. II. Schmidt, of the
Board, spoke in somewhat the same
vein. contending, however that the
Commissioners had u perfectly legal
right to make the rules and to enforce
them.
Alderman Mulholand raised the
point that, M the statutes had provided
that the Board should be composed of
not more than two members from each
political party the present organiza
tiun was not n legal one in that three
of its members We're Republicans and
only one II Democrat. City Attorney
Schmtz however, admitted that, what
over might be sa;5, about its legality the
Board was n de facto one, and as such
its actions would stand
A. II. Schmidt then moved that &c
cording to the Mayors suggestion the
Commissioners meet the Councils Fire
and Water Committee with Chief
Kratz, and revise the rules, and submit
them to the Council and that they also
meet the Police Committee with Chief
Pierce and revise the rules for the Police
department, which are new partly in
proof form The motion was carried
Mr.. Schmidt remarked that Chief Jack
son of the Milwaukee Police department
had sent for u copy of the Mamtowoc
Police department Jules when they
should be issued
A discussion of some of the Fire de-
partment rules was then precipitated by
Alderman phalen, Int the May or cut it
short by a1journing the meeting, re-
marking that the rules would be thor
oughly in the joint meeting to come.
In the aftermath Messrs A. II.
Schmidt and Orrin Torrison suggested
that the recent resolution of the Coun-
Gil be either rescinded or modified This
carsed some further discussion, but the
probability is that ut the Conncil's next
meeting resolution similar in charac-
ter to the one PASSED Friday evening
will be put through in place of the of
fensive one
All present then went ont and had
something on the Mayor
