That the City should take some steps
in an effort to persuade the Wisconsin
Central to restore the old rates on coal
shipments, increased by recent ORDER
from 80 cents to 81 Is ton is the belief
of John Schuette and in communica-
ton Mr. Schuette offers a suggestion for
procedure, which, is worthy of consid.
Grafton Mr. Schuette says:
by the way the transportation com.
panies are raising rates we might begin
to hope we were entering upon boom,
but by the raising of coal rates by the
Central line | fear the boom will be at
our expense 1t seems too bad that after
the sacrifice Of the lot owners on the
river bank, and the expense of $50, 600
by the city Tor dredging channel to the
coal docks and turning basin, and the
loss of State street bridge, the expected
benefits therefrom should be lost.
Now, what can we do about this? The
only thing suggesting itself to me is:
Let the mayor and city attorney draw up
aud circulate petition setting forth the
facts and in conjunction with the Reiss
Coal Co. call on the railway company
officials, present the petition and appeal
to them to restore the old rates which is
really due US under the circumstances
think the attempt fully warrants the
expense"
