FIVE BLOCKS OF WASHING
TON STREET TO Be
PAVED NEXT SPRING.

Next spring Washington street, be-
tween Eighth and Thirteenth streets
will be paved. This determination was
reached at meeting of the councils
special committee held at the city hall
last Thursday evening While there is
some objection to the proposed improve
ment the majority of property owners
on the street favor the project. The
special committee consisted of the com
mittee of public improvements and the
First and Third ward committees.
The street will be paved with brick.
But the committee will urge the council
to have crushed stone used for foun-
dation in place of concrete, which is
much more expensive. Concrete was
employed us II foundation in the paving
of Eighth street several years ago. 1t
is thought that crushed stone will be
Just as serviceable rs concrete and
about 40 cents per yard cheaper. City
Engineer PITT, who recently made a
special study of paving materials used
in various Wisconsin and Michigan
cities, is of the opinion that crushed
stone is considerably cheaper and fully
equal to concrete rs foundation for
brick pavements. and he accordingly
recommended its use. The special COM
mittee accepted his recommendation
and will embody the same in its report
to the council.
While property owners of Washing
ton street favor the decision arrived at
by the committee. they demand that
the Manitowoc & Northern Traction
Co. shall bear a part of the expense.
But there is a question rs to whether
the company can be forced to do this
However, there is a clause in the fran.
chise that requires the company to keep
the streets in repair on which their
tracks, but also for one foot on each side
of the track. This provision will prob
ably enable the city to compel the COM
pany to bear the expense of paving the
street between the track and for twelve
inches on each side of it.
1t is the intention of the Council to
have the street prepared next fall 40
that the work of paving may be started
early in the spring. All the under
ground work, such as the laying of
sewers and water pipes, will he done

ROOMS LEASED IN new
LIBRARY FOR TERM
OF FIVE YEARS.

The training school board has taken
q five year lease of rooms in the new
Carnegie library building to be used for
school purposes by the Manitowoc coun-
ty training school for teachers, which
has received notice to vacate the third
| floor and basement of the Fifth ward
school house where the school has been
located since the time of its establish
ment three years ago. The school will
occupy its new quarters on the 18th day
of September next, this being provided
for IN the contract entered into at a
joint meeting of the training school
board and the library board held last
Friday afternoon.
The rental is to he $500 per year for
three rooms on the second floor of the
library building, an assembly room, a
recitation room, and an Office for the
principal. 1t is also stipulated in the
lease that the school may use the base
ment for work in manual training. The
library board will at once arrange for
fitting the rooms for school purposes.
The portion of the library building to
be occupied by the school is still in an
unfinished condition and would not now
be completed but for the aforesaid con
tract The library board had no money
at its disposal with which 30 complete
the structure, the S25 900 given by
Carnegie being insufficient for the com
pletion of the building. The rental the
board will derive from the tive-year
lease will amount to $500, IA sum
amply sufficient to pay the expenses of
completing the structure
One half of the annual rental will be
paid by the state, which provides. half the
cost of maintaining the school, includ-
ing the rents While the Accommodations
were satisfactory at the Fifth ward
school, where the yearly rental was but
$3.50, the new quarters of the training
school are IN every way much more de
sirabe and commodious. The new
library building is conveniently located
and is one of the finest structures in the
city. The rooms to be occupied by the
school are spacious and we'll lighted and
will make an ideal home for IL school of
this character.
As the law requires that the training
school must be in session for ten months
a year and ~ the new quarters will not
be ready for occupancy before Septem-
Der 18th, the school will probably open
mt its present location for two Weeks
for the training school board has set
Sept 9th for the opening day of the en-
suing school year. Should the Fifth
ward school board object to the open
ing of the training school at the present
quarters, the school would be put to the
inconvenience of moving twice. How
ever, it is believed that no such objec-
tion will be made by the school board,
While the new lease is for II term of
five years, this fact should not cause the
friends of the institution to cease their
agitation for the erection of u building
for the school; for it is to be hoped that
the institution will be provided with a
permanent home by the time the new
lease expires.
