CITYS CLAIM ALLOWED.

BY decision of the Michigan courts
Manitowoc county will collect dividends
on So, 700 of the $1,000 claim filed
against Hickman Sons company, that
built the court house here, and who re-
Gently went into bankruptcy. The
county probably will receive SOC on the
dollar The claim is for repairs that
were made on the roof of the building
which leaked soon after it was COM
pleted. The Rickmans failed to re-
pair the roof, though they had given a
guaranty of $4,000 to repair it if it
should leak. The roof leaked and the
Rickmans became bankrupts and the
county had to repair the roof and filed
a claim for $1,000 against the Rickmans.
The claim has been allowed at S3, 100
and it is supposed that the Hickman
company will pay about SOC on the dol
lar. The county clerk received draft
this morning for $40, the court having
ueclareo a dividend OF POO.
The allowance of the claim by the
court at $500 is splendid victory for
d strict Attorney Healy He made a
noble fight and he has wen. His re-
cord for efficiency as district attorney
the past four years is No. l, and this
victory at Kalamazoo is another feath-
er in his CAD.

new DRY DOCK COMPLETED.

Many citizens do not appreciate the
significance to this city of the com
pletion of the last section Of the new
floating dry dock of the Dry Dock com
pany. 1t marks new era in the ship
building and repairing industry, which
has been since the early days, the
principle industry of Manitowoc. The
dock is composed of eight Independent
sections. Each section is floating
steel box which can be sunk to permit
craft to float in by flooding the com
partments with water. 1t is then
lifted by pumping out the water.
Each section has its own large pumps.
1t is the largest floating dock on the
great lakes, being 4S0 feet long. The
company can now undertake many re-
pair and rebuilding jobs which they
heretofore could not perform because
OF small dry dock facilities. Even the
car ferries trading here are too large
for the old Burger dock.

In an address before the Wisconsin
State Teachers Association at Milwau-
kee, =. j. Claxton, United States Com
missioner of Education, advocated the
purchase OF farm to be run in con-
nection with every rural school and
that on this farm house for the use
of the teacher be erected Why not
"teacheragesn as well as parsonages?
queried the speaker. The farm should
be used for demonstration for good
agricultural methods, in which the
teacher should be able to give instruc-
tion. Part Of the farm should be culti-
waited by the teacher for his own use,
which would add materially TO his
salary and make it worth while for him
to continue in the same position from
year to year.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. Goetzler was the
amount of important business was dis
patched.
The supplemental report demanded
by the council from the finance com
mittee in regard to the city funds used
for water works purposes was filed.
The item for advertising bonds is
S159,40. The report says that the
amounts paid for interest and commits
sions on loans to tide over and other
expenses come to less than would the
interest on the unsold portion OF the
bonds and that the city is gamer by
holding the bonds. This however can
not 90 on indefinitely. The interest
lost by using the sinking fund is 1878.
In nut shell, the plant has cost to
date S25l 900. The gross income for
the year ending Oct. |, 1912 was S45,-
70S; the disbursements 81 500 leaving
the earnings at $24 203. From these
earnings must be deducted $1,000 or
more spent for developing the water
supply. The present financial Difficult
ties arise from raising only S230,000
on bonds to meet purchase of $500
and from the difficulty in marketing
4 per cent bonds.
The city officers have been invited to
attend the meeting of city officers at
Milwaukee to discuss the question
of the pollution of Lake Michigan by
sewage.
Bids will be advertised for in the
matter of putting heating plant in
the sections S residence.
Contractor Knechtel owes the city
800 and the city owes him $500. The
attorney was instructed to try to offset
the city's claim.
The Kung-Bleser claim for damage
to horse was referred to the city at
torney.
The cost of shoveling snow off walks
last winter, S562, and the cost of de-
stroying noxious weeds, $50, were or
dered put in the tax roll against the
proper premises.
A resolution was adopted that the
bond sinking fund be repaid out of the
general fund the money borrowed to
help pay for the water plant. TnG
water department will later repay the
general fund.
The vote on the electric light pur-
chase question was canvassed at 1850
Eyes, S45 mo-.
A resolution was urged by the may
or inStructing the attorney to draft for
later introduction bond ordinance
for electric light purposes with the ag
gregate amount of bonds and the rate
of interest indefinite. The council
seemed very reluctant to act on it and
it finally was laid over. There was a
lot of talk over it principally by the
mayor. Schellin's suggestion of mort
gage certificate bonds is hint of a
future division on this question.
a resolution to report to the Railway
Commission the result of the electric
light purchase election was carried 9
to I.
An ordinance was introduced adopt
ing part of the general charter author
izing cities to make water rates a
charge against the premises served as
well as against the individuals. 1t
lies over.
A resolution was adopted instructing
the attorney to look into the feasabil-
ity of selling fractional parts of the
unsold water works bonds. tits thought
that small investors may thus buy a
considerable part of the unsold bonds.

this week at the Chequamegon and
Jere Murphy Of the Ashland Daily
News is to be toast master. BY what
strange freak of good fortune has this
bachelor hating editor been admitted

Why every toast will make each in

surprise. The bachelors of Ashland
do not yet know the undiluted villainy
of Murphy in all things pertaining to
those modern Josephs known as
bachelors.
