CITY MOVES IN REPAIR
ING YORK STREET

The city water commission at a
meeting Tuesday night decided to lay
water mains on York street at once.
The mains and laterals must be laid
some time prior to the paving and the
early frosts last fall stopped this work.
The question of whether the rule of
the state railroad commission requiring
utilities to lay these laterals will be
enforced here is still pending before
the state commission and the installa.
ton of the laterals has been delayed
awaiting the laying of the mains by
the city water commission. Construct
ors say that laying the mains and
laterals now will give time for proper
settling before paving next summer
especially if York street is paved last.
Laterals on other streets to be paved
are nearly all in. The gas company
will also be required to lay some pipes
on York street.

structures torn down which are deem

Buffalo street, neglected to comply
with an order of this kind and in con-
sequence was arrested. The law pro-
vides minimum penalty of ten dollars
for each day of noncompliance. The
district attorney charged but one day.
Mr.. Cootway paid the fine of $40. and
promised to make the alterations sug-
gested or tear down the building,
This is the first conviction in Manito-
voc county under this law. but the de-
putty marshalls say it will not be the
last unless some changes are made.
