A TEST SUIT STARTED.

The right of the city to charge abut-
ting property owners for the cost of
water mains, policy enacted in 1912,
at the instance OF Mayor Stole and the
water commission, is to be tested in
the courts.
Saturday morning, papers were
served on the city clerk, ordering him
to appear before Judge Kirwan in cir
cult court Wednesday to show cause
why an injunction should not be issue d
and made permanent restraining on the
tax roll, against Ferdinand Veith, west
side resident, tax of SIS for each OF
six lots, for extensions Of. the water
mains on Twentieth street.
Two principal reasons are set forth
for the action
l. That the consent or approval of
the rate commission was never secured
for the proceedings under which the
city is acting.
2. The city council never took any
action under the ordinance, and that
the same is null and void.
Markham g. Markham and Houge n
& Brady are attorneys for the plain
tiff, Mr. Veith. City Attorney Harry
Kelley will defend the city in the in
functional proceedings.

The city council met in adjourned re-
gular session Tuesday evening. A re-
solution was adopted determining that

remedy an alleged defect in assessment

NEWS ITEM.

The many friends OF Arthur Murphy
Of Manitowoc County will be glad to
read of his striking success at the
State Normal school at Stevens Point
where he is finishing post graduate
course in the College courses. He is
taking all of his practice teaching in
the chemistry department of the nor
NAL proper instead Of in the practice
department as do the other normal
students. He is conducting a labora-
tory course in chemistry having COM
plete charge of the work of large
class of advanced students. During the
absence OF the professor in charge of
the lectures, on account of illness, Ar
thur took entire charge Of the depart
ment giving the class lectures as well
as conducting the laboratory work.
He assumed full responsibility for the
department for three weeks until the
regular professor had recovered suf1i-
ciently to again be in attendance upon
his work. Recently the head of the
Biology department resigned and Pres
ident Sims could not get another man
at once so he placed Arthur Murphy in
full charge of the work in Bacteriology
and Advanced Botany giving the lec-
lures and conducting the laboratory in
this most difficult science. He meets
large classes of advanced students
daily and the students in the classes re-
port that they like him very much as
a teacher and his teaching is vital
and practical in every way. He plans
his work carefully and leaves nothing
undone that will add to the value and
efficiency OF his recitations. He will
probably remain in charge of this de-
partment until the Christmas holidays.
The above shows the confidence and
esteem in which Arthur is held by
president Sims and the other members
of the faculty of the Normal. He is
one of the few students chat have at
tended the Stevans Point school that
have been given the opportunity of
taking work in the Normal department
even for practice to say nothing OF
having complete charge of any depart
ment. He is specializing in agricul-
tural science preparatory to taking the
long course at Madison which he will
complete at the State University in
1915. He plans to become trained
specialist in Soils and Agricultural
Chemistry. He has won his way by
untiring energy and exertion Of the
kind that builds solid from the bottom
up. He is popular member Of the
leading literary society and Glee Club
at the Normal and leader in every
enterprise that is for the good of his
Alma Mater.
