WILL PAY BONUS.

The Manitowoc Advancement associa.
tion held n meeting at the city hall last
Thursday evening to consider the ques.
tion of raising money for the purpose
of paying the $500 bonus promised to E,
H. Ludwig, proprietor of the Wisconsin
Knitting mills, by the association last
year in consideration of Mr. Ludwigs
agreement not to remove his factory to
Sheboygan when Inducements were held
out to him by business men of the Chair
City to locate there. 1t was on the
strength of the promise mentioned that
the owner of the factory went to the ex.
pense of installing new machinery and
making other improvements. The
promise was that the association would
pay bonus equivalent to two years
rental, which amounts to $500. As the
owner Of the factory has carried ont all
of the promises he made in considera-
tion of the bonus promised, the associa-
tion is under obligation, morally, to live
up 10 lis pdTb Ol tne agreement, ana IL
was decided, at meeting, that the
bonus shall be paid at the earliest pos.
sible date As there was but 5000 in the
treasury of the association, it was de.
cided to have subscription paper
circulated among business men of the
city in order to raise the additional $400
requisite to liquidate the obligation. A
committee, composed of F. r. Zentner
and Henry Wernecke was appointed to
circulate the paper The work of solic-
iting subscriptions for the raising of the
necessary funds is now in progress.

employment to about thirty girls

MARCH.

AS look out on earth an1 sky,
From my window up 10 high;
Oh how dark the world does seem,
Through the clouds does steal no beam.
Old winter looks so bent and gray,
As slow he plods his homeward way;
The catkins pur rs he slips by
And to himself is heard to sigh.
On the road is naught but slush;
Along the sides the rivers rush.
You stop and listen to the sound
OF rushing water Ger the ground,
But now no more will it be long
That the whole world goes on 40 wrong
For soon bright Aprils many showers
Will turn to green the hooks and bowers

DELINQUENT TAX LIST
SHOWS DECIDED REDUCTION
As Compared With That OF Last Spring.

Last Friday morning City Treasurer
John Mahnke turned over to County
Treasurer Frank Zeman the delinquent
tax list, this representing all the un-
collectable taxes on real estate and per-
sonal property in the city of Manitowoc
for the year 1906 The delinquent tax
list this spring shows much smaller
total than that returned in previous
years. Last spring it amounted TO more
than $1,000; this spring it is less than
80, OOO The relatively small amount
represented by the list this spring is
largely due to the fact that but little
railroad property has been returned
delinquent this spring.
