MAYOR VETOS PURCHASE
OF MOTOR PATROL.

Last Friday Mayor Stolze filed VETO
OF the action OF the council taken on
Monday previous in awarding the con-
tract for the purchase of motor pa
trnl for the police department to the
Dicke Motor Co. of this CITY at q price
Of 1886.
When the plan to purchase a motor
patrol for the police was brought up
first in the council it was agreed to ad-
vertise for 20 horse power patrol wa
gon. This practically limited the
chance to make bids to single concern
as most of the automobiles and motor
wagons built are for more than this
horse power. 1t was practically on
this ground that the Mayor vetoed the
move. The veto message is as follows:
"To the Board of Aldermen, City Of
Manitowoc.
Gentlemen: l deem it to be my
duty to refuse to approve OF the reso-
luton or motion, OF your body of Dec
ember 20, 1918, by which you accept
the bid OF the Dicke Motor Car Com
pany for furnishing motor police pa
troll and | do now so refuse.
My reasons for such refusal are as
follows:
The requirement in our advertisement
of q 20 Fl. p motor confined respon-
sive bids to cars Of one manufacture,
1T least to one standard, well known
car. This is not the free competition
which believe the law contemplates
for city purchases.
The car offered is serviceable and
reliable vehicle and good value but
do not think 1t has the dimensions or
power for our needs nor is it of the size
and power that our people would like
to see In city vehicle.
Henry Stolze, Jr., Mayor"

claims to the proceeds of benefit GER

ern Woodmen but after the divorce
and second marriage OF each OF the
parties Ormond changed the benefici-
ary in the certificate and designated

fund was also made by Mrs. Mckinley.

charged. Mrs. Mckinley filed her an
swer to the com plaint and demurrer

eys to this answer. The court, after

murrer that Mrs. Mckinley appeals.

Edward Conway, one OF our city
fathers, returned home on Monday last
from the South. He was authorized
to invite the Grand Duke Alexis TO
our city; but Republican extravaganza
has scooped out our city treasury, and
our present tax of five per cent on the
dollar bids fair to scoop out the taxpay-
er, who perspires copiously at the mere
mention of further taxes. Under these
circumstances it was deemed best to
countermand the order for invitation.
We feel awfully Disappointed; but it is
comfort to know, as we all must that
Alexis feels worse than we do--it's a
deep affection to him. What the Car
will say when he learns that Alexis
hasn't seen the city OF Manitowoc, is
more than we can divine.
