One result of the reported consolidation
of the Wisconsin Central and the Milwau-

entrance to Manitowoc and lake outlet
to connect with a system that will be
extended to the coast. 1t is recognized
that Manitowoc, being the terminal OF
the ferries which offer the shortest route
direct to the east. would be great source
