CITY COUNCIL NOTES,

The council Oh Monday evening, after
considerable debate, refused by tie
vote to purchase team of horses for
the'police patrol. The question of main
tanning a patrol wagon as an aid to the
police officers of the city in the bring
ing in of persons arrested has been up
before the council quite regularly for a
considerable time past. a few years
ago, during the time that August Drews
was chief of the police department. II
horse was purchased for the use of the
department. but this horse became so
lame that recently it was killed. Chief
Groffman then took the matter of pro-
curing team for the patrol wagon up
and has advocated it quite vigorously
since. A need for team was illustrat.
ed on Sunday when call was sent in
from near the west city limits for the
patrol wagon to be sent out for some
tramps that were bothering the resi-
dents in that neighbornood and the
horse which is rented for that purpose
balked on the way out, giving the
tramps chance to get outside the linn
its and evade the officers After very
full discussion, however, the council de-
cided by tie vote to not purchase
team at this time.
The interpretations to be placed on
the new fire limit ordinance was brought
before the council Monday evening by
resolutions introduced by Alderman
Frazier to the effect that the new ordin-
ance be waived in so far as it affected
a building purchased by the Platt in
terests here in order that the same might
be moved from its present location on
Seventh and Commercial Streets to
Franklin and Thirteenth Streets. At
torney e. G.. Nash, appearing for Mr..
Platt urged upon the council the facts
in this particular case to the effect that
the building had been bought very re-
Gently and that the contractor who was
to move it could not secure a scow large
enough to do the work within the time
left between its purchase and the pas
sage of the ordinance. The council,
however. decided by a vote Of eight to
four to make no exceptions and refused
to allow the building to be moved to the
new location. The building will now
either have to be torn down or removed
to some other place which will not
be in conflict with the provisions of the
ordinance.
Herman Schmitz, who is president of
the council, presided in the absence of
Mayor Groffman who is still suffering
from the injuries which he recently re-
ceived in an auto accident.
The Daily Herald was designated the
official paper for the ensuing year, the
committee on printing having reported
that the Herald was the lowest bidder
The Herald Company was required to
give bond in the sum of $500 as a
guaranty for the performance of the
contract.

SETTLES CLAIM FOR $1,000.

Frank Erdman, an employe OF the
Manitowoc Boiler Works company, who
was injured at the plant of this compa-
ny in this city on Dec. 3lst OF last year
has settled his claim against the com
pany for $4,000. Erdman was injured
through the falling of a large crane near
where he was at work. Since the in
Jury he has brought suit against the
company for $4,000 and this settlement
disposes of the matter without the
necessity for trial. Erdman's in
juries were very serious and it is but
recently that he has been able to be
about. He was represented in the ac-
ton against the company by Attorney

acknowledge that the size and finish of
the store, and the large quantity of

heavy one. and the large stock of goods
which they are now ready to exhibit to

SUDDEN DEATH OF
WILLIAM H. FALVEY.

Hon. VIM. H. Falvey n native of the
town of Franklin, in this county, but
for the past twenty years, a resident of
Ellis Jet, Marinette Co. passed away
very quietly at P. M. Friday, Jnly 16,
1909 at st. Joseph's hospital, Menomi-
nee, Mich, from clot Of blood in the
heart.
Mr.. Falvey was in the best of health
on Wednesday, but feeling i'll Thursday,
his wife advised him to consult physi,
clan at Menomnee and, after reaching
the hospital Thursday afternoon he be-
came very i'll and died next day in the
Gftora~ol.
When the news of his death was tele-
phoned to his home town, at Crivitz, it
caused wide spread sorrow among his
friends, many of whom had not even
the slightest intimation of his being i'll,
or even away from his own home.
He was born in April 1856, being SO
wears at the time of his death, and was
the fifth of family of seven children.
He was educated at his home public
school, and at the age of eighteen en-
tered the North Side high school of Man
itowoc and after leaving there he
taught school for eight years in Brown
county,
Desiring to enter another line of work,
he became associated with the Butler
Mueller Lumber Co., of Crivitz. where
he was scaler and book keeper for that
firm for three years. After that he en-
tered the employ of the Peshtigo Lum.
ber company and served in that capaci-
ty for the next five years.
He was deputy sheriff of his own
county for seven years, and during that
time was also secretary of the township
board of school directors, and for num-
Der of years held the position of chair
man of his town.
In 1906 he was elected as Member of
Assembly from the Second Dist. of
Marinette Co.
Mr.. Falvey was highly respected
man, and much loved by every one as
was testified by the attendance at his
funeral not only from his home town,
but also from surrounding towns and
villages; from Marinette, Menominee,
Manitowoc, Milwaukee and Chicago.
The funeral took place Monday, July
19, at 10 a. m. from st. Mary's Catholic
church of which the deceased was a
member, the many and costly floral Of
ferings of his relatives and friends bear
ing silent messages of the memory and
respect in which the deceased WAS held
by all.
He was married Sept. 1905 to Miss
Della Ma Gray of Crivitz who with
four small children, daughter and
three sons survive him. He is also sur
vived by two brothers and two sisters,
Daniel, on the old home farm, Peter, of
Milwaukee, Miss Nellie, and Mrs. Lawr.
ence Daley, both of Chicago, all of
whom attended the funeral.
The deceased was nephew of Michael
Doolan of Franklin, who also attended
The funeral, and Bartholomew Doolan
of Morrison, Brown county.
May the shadow of angels wings rest
lightly on this deceased man who was
ever ready to right the wrongs of those
in distress and suffering, ever foremost
in assisting the poor and afflicted

the banks assets received from the de-
positors, and also its own deposits IN
reserve or other banks. 1t is only step
further than the banks are doing now,
when they insure against fire, burglary,
and embezzlement of officers In all
this insurance they must pay their share
for the wrong doing or misfortune of
of others, and incidentally the depositor
is thereby also secured.
A banker loaning largely to a mer-
chant or manufacturer, requires him to
keep his stock insured so that in the
event of misfortune he is able to repay
the loan to him from the banker. Why
not follow the same course in the loan
from the depositor to the banker, es-
pecially as it is claimed that the deposi-
tor would eventually have to pay the in
surance premium, statement often
made to prejudice depositors against
the plan. But as this would not exceed
fifty cents per annum on each thousand
dollars deposit, there is hardly a single
depositor who would not gladly pay
this.
That part of the resolution which says
Insurance of deposits would lower the
standard of banking business, is pre-
posterous. 1t will do just the opposite.
1t will elevate the banking fraternity to
the highest pinnacle of honor. What
was the standard of the banking business
in 1898 and 1907? In the panic of 1893
when all the banks in my county closed
except one, no one wanted to be seen in
my company for fear that they would
be judged by the company they kept,
although my bank weathered the storm
If no one can lose what is entrusted to a
bank, the bankers standard will be most
| excellent.
To assert that insurance of deposits
would invite wildcat banking is rid;cu.
lous. If, when that system was in vogue
there had been plan ofinsurance OF the
notes, as is now proposed to apply to de-
posits, wildcat banking would not have
succeeded, for all would have been
directly interested in having safe bank
ing.
Wise laws, strict enforcement Of the
same, and thorough inspection, can best
be attained by making every bank inter
ested i'll the safety of every other bank
When the wild cat notes were driven
out by the government, the bankers
were up in arms more than they are
now against the insurance of deposits
and postal saving banks, for in those
days they even cited the government in.
to the courts. But it was all of no avail.
The reform came, aud what God send
it proved to be! SO will il be with de-
posit insurance.
If the few opposing banks should be
able to defeat 1t and thwart the will of
the people then the government will be
induced to establish its own banks.
| When this occurs the bankers will have
to devise some plan to give their depos
ltors the same safety that the govern.
ment gives. To devise and carry out
such plan will then he far more diff.
cult than to do so now.
Keep up the good fight and do not lose
courage. Recruits will come to You
from the bankers and the people will
form such large reserve force as to
create strong public opinion that nc
legislature nor congress can Withstand.
| With best wishes, remain,
Yours respectfully,
| JOHN SCHUETTE
