CITY OFFICIALS CON-
FER WITH MANAGER OF
WATER WORKS co.

! Water Works Co officials will be given
another chance for an amicable adjust
ment of the controversy in which the
company has become involved by reason
of the city's desire for ownership of its
| plant but unless some action is taken
looking to compliance with the request
for some definite understanding and fix
ing of a price on the property, the city
will force the issue and insist ON ex-
treme measures.
This is understood to have been the
ultimatum given II. w. Gray, as the
representative of the Water Works Co.
by city officials at conference that was
held at the city hall Friday night, and
which lasted for three hours or more,
and as result of which the water works
deal is put up to the company for
settlement without necessity of long
wrangling and litigation that must
prove expensive to the company. 1t is
said that Mr.. Gray was given to under
stand that the city administration con
sidered itself pledged to municipal owner
ship and would consider no other pro-
posal.
Mayor c. A. Groifman, City Atty.
Hougen, and Aid Thorison as chair
man of the councils fire and water com
mittee represented the city in the con-
ference while Gray was the only repre-
sentative of the Water Co. Two other
members of the fire and water commit
tee, who We're expected to be present,
failed to report. The mayor and attorney
are members of the fire and water com
mittee for the carrying on of negotia
tions with the Water Co. relative to
securing price on the plant, which ac-
tion was authorized some time ago.
No statement would be given out by
city officials relative to the conference
and its results further than it was held
by the committee with a view to getting
its work completed and preparing re-
port. A previous conference was held
with Mr.. Gray and at that time Eugene
Gray, Of Whitewater, another officer of
the company was also present, and moth
ing is known as to the result Of this
meeting. Whether the committee has
met satisfactory progress in the work
outlined for it by the councl-to secure
a price on the plant lower than the ap-
praisal-is not known.
1t is probable that the committees re-
port will be presented at the next meet
ing of the council and it will contain a
recommendation rs to what method
should be adopted to deal with the com
pany. In event that a price is refused
and the company declines to sell, the
city can, under the new utility law pass.
ed by the last Legislature, appeal to the
state rate commission and ask an ap-
praisement for condemnation. 1t is be.
lieved that this will be resorted to only
as a last move to secure the plant -

NORWEGIANS TO ORGANIZE.

Wisconsin Norwegians will be asked
to join in n movement to organize an
international league. The preliminary
steps for the organization have already
been taken, but it will be some time be-
fore the former natives of Norway will
be officially notified of the plan. The
league will be organized for fraternal
purposes and will be an alliance to pro.
mote closer relations between those who
left the fatherland to make their homes
in new country. One Of the objects
will be to protect the rights of the mem
bers as American citizens and advance
them in the commercial world. The
movement will be on fraternal lines
and it is probable that the several hun.
dred Norwegians in Manitowoc county
will support the organization.

Brothers, and arrived in the city over
the Central Road ut $50 in the morning.
At 10 o'clock very creditable street
parade was given and there We're after
noon and evening exhibitions on the

attended at each of the performances,
the presence of the visitors to the Sang

A VISIT FROM AN OLD FRIEND.

Onr old friend of former days, w. f..
Engel of Manitowoc. called on friends
at Rosecraus and 1ooperstown one
day last week. Bill was surprised
and delighted with the changes that
have taken place during the decade
since his footprints were impressed on
the sands of time in this section of the
county. In those days the road used
to circle around the hill, now it cuts
through it, and where today is felt the
foot beat, and heard the shrill cry of
the iron horse, we used to hear the
screeching of the frog family holding
high carnival. The old town house is
replaced by building, meeting the
needs of modern requirements On the
northwest corner is located huildingo of
large dimensions occupied by Leubke
Bros. dealers in hardware ami all kinds
Of improved farm machinery On the
southeast corner looms up very impos-
ing structure used as II general store
ana hotel owned by Mr.. Albert Petska
whose hospitality Bill said, could GER
tainly not he surpassed In the woods
to the northwest where in those days
dwelt the timid rabbit and drummed the
shy partridge, is located one of the G. IL
n w. Co. 5 largest gravel pits of the
state
= The old school house Of that time will
soon give way to building of two de-
partmeats that will meet all present
day requirements. The same is also
true of Cooperstown, u new one depart
ment building now in the course of
construction, is to take the place of the
one where onr friend Otto used 10 reign
Bill and his friends lived over once
more the happy times of long ago, re-
calling old friends, occurrences, and the
changes since that time The time
passed 10y all too rapidly and friend
Bill after last handshake left the
scene of his friends. Lack of space for
bids fuller account but before closing
we must not forget our chairman OF the
days of the long ago, John S. Vanish.
John il one of natures, noblemen and
has ever handy a good story or jest.
John showed Us around the premises he
conducts u store and hotel at Coopers-
town. and we must admit that John is
certainly good conscientious business
man, who we'll knows and supplies the
wants of his customers.

in our fathers days were best.

NO MORE HALF RATES.

One of the results of the Legislature in
passing the two cent fare bill was the
cutting out of half fare rates by the rail
roads, orders to that effect having been
received at the offices of the Wisconsin
Central and North Western roads here
last Saturday Old soldiers and miuis-
ters formed the largest number of bene-
ticaries of the reduced rate, and from
now on, they in common with others,
will have to pay the regular fare. 1t is
rumored that excursion rates heretofore
given will be done away with.
