REPUBLICAN RESOLUTIONS.

The republicans of the city of Wau-
sau duly assembled by their represent
atives, make the following declaration:
I've congratulate the citizens of
this city upon the fact that in an era of
graft and corporate mismanagement,
that no cloud or suspicion has rested
upon the city of Wausau, or any official
connected with it, and we believe that
it is source of just pride that the af-
fairs of this city have been honestly and
economically conducted and that we
have citizens of ability who are willing
to devote their time and attention to
the conduct of the citys affairs.
give take this opportunity of ex-
pressing our approval of the conduct of
the citys affairs during the last two
years and we believe that all citizens
irrespective of party affiliations may
justly approve the same. The lighting
of the streets, alleys and public places
in said city has been placed upon an
economical and satisfactory basis; the
system of matchmaking has been ex-
tended; street sprinkling has been in
troduced at very low cost; prepare
ton has been made for the building of
city hall; water commission has
been created to administer the affairs
of the city in relation to the water
supply; the bridge across the Wiscon-
sin river has been completed; the or
dinances have been revised and pub
llShed the Stinchfield creek sewer has
been provided for and partially COM
pleted and numerous other public i'm
provements have been made, and in all
of these matters the republican major
ity upon the city council has had a con-
trolling voice and we commend their
record upon these questions of public
interest.
3-We believe that the officials to be
elected at the coming city election
should be charged with the duty of up
holding the water commission in their
efforts to procure for the citizens of
this city an abundant supply of whole
some water distributed to all parts of
the city in sufficient quantities Tor do
nestle use as well as for fire protec-
ton, where the demand for water will
Justify the necessary expense of INSTALL
alton We believe that this should be
the first concern of the mayor and
council to be elected and that they
should speedily provide the necessary
means for carrying these provisions in
to effect.
1--WE believe that city hall should
be erected upon the site already chos-
en- for it, at such time and at such a
cost as will not be oppressive or bur-
densome to the taxpayers of this city
and we commend the provision already
made by the council looking to the
erection of a suitable place for the
transaction OF the city's business and
the preservation of its records.
5-We believe that the experience of
the city in the matter of street sprink-
ling has demonstrated the fact that
such work can be done at so low cost
as to place it within the reach of every
property owner and that provision
should be made for the extension of
this service to all parts of the city
where the requisite number of petition
ers can be secured. 1t renders the city
much more clearly and healthful as
well as comfortable, and we commend
the establishment of this system.
Give believe in a continuation of
the system of macadamizing heretofore
adopted, whereby the streets of the CITY
aie permanently improved, at q cost
not greatly exceeding the former cost
OF repair. We believe that the benefits
OF this macadamizing should be equally |
distributed throughout the city and we |
especially recommend to the considera- |
ton OF the mayor and council to be |
elected the improvement of the main |
highways leading from the city to sur
rounding farming country, which we |
believe will be mutually beneficial and |
profitable
THE city is at present and has been |
for some years in a highly prosperous
condition. Within short time at least |
some of the larger institutions engaged |
here In the manufacture of lumber will |
cease operation. We believe that the
policy of securing new industries to
take the place of the saw mill should |
be continued and that an effort should |
be made to secure additional factories |
and manufacturing institutions and we
do not believe that attacks made upon
manufacturing institutions, already
located here are helpful, but we believe
that they are harmful and if long con-
tinued will result in great damage to
the city.
We believe that the greatest asset a
city can have is a united citizenship.
That all good citizens are alike entitled
to credit for the city's prosperity and
with responsibility for its fu-
ture, and that when the officers of this
city have been chosen according to the
duly established method therefore.
that all the people of the city, particu-
larly the members of the Republican
party, should unite in giving them a
loyal support in all that tends to the
betterment and advancement of the
city's interests.
Respectfully submitted,
Committee on Resolutions
