EDUCATIONAL.
(By j. w. Voboril)
SCHOOL BOARDS AND TEACHERS

SCHOOL BOARDS AND TEACHERS
AT Manitowoc, at Two Rivers and in
the villages of the county, Labor bur
eaus have been organized or will be or
ganized to help our returning sailors,
soldiers, and war workers to secure
positions,
These boys left many good positions
to work for Uncle Sam at $50 month
and keep, and it is surely only fair that
they be assisted in finding positions as
rapidly as possible so that they need
not be idle for several months thereby
adding more to their already heavy fl
nancail losses. over 1000 boys haveen-
tered the service from this county and
many are returning daily, The plan of
this Labor bureau will not only benefit
the soldier and sailor boys but will also
assist the farmers, manufacturers, and
Others needing men, to find them easily
and Mt little or no expense.
The following is the general plan of
this organization. The school board
and teacher of each district will
meet and select one member to
act as the secretary to report to
the United States Employment
Service at Manitowoc or Two Rivers
the names of those people in their dis
tricts who are in need of laborers,
Office help, etc. All the people in the
district should be notified ofthis source
of help and should be encouraged to
file their needs with the secretary ofthe
district or with the Employment Ser
vice at ManitowOc or Two Rivers.
Likewise if soldier or sailor boy is
without position notify him and en-
courage him to register with this EN-
ployment Service.
Here is an opportunity for patriotic
service that should not be neglected.
If you are too busy and unable to
undertake this duty, please get some
one else to assist you.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

In the absence of both Mayor Schroe-
der and President McKeough, Nienau-
ber the dean of the council welded the
gavel at the regular meeting held
Monday night. Kazda and O'Donnell
were also absent.
City Engineer PITT had on file a re-
port on a new bridge at 10th street
now in the nebulous state. He esti-
mates the cost of two leaf bascule
bridge at $4,000 to 100000. He
figured on 80 foot draw but the gov
ernment will probably require only 80
feet The present draw at Sth street
is little over 80 feet. The width Of
the bridge planned is 2l feet. The re-.
port invites the examination OF an eX-
pert bridge engineer. After permit
for the bridge is secured from the gov
ernment The matter may move along
to asking for bids.
The city is asked to contribute S25
toward defraying the expenses of a
bureau at Madison during the present
session of the legislature TO be main
tanned by the State League of Munici-
palities of which the city is member.
The bureau is TO foster the welfare Of
cities by watching legislation affecting
municipalities. All cities belonging
to the league of over 10000 population
are assessed $25.
The quarterly report of the city sex
ton showed the interrment of iorty-six
males and forty-two females during the
last three months of 1918.
On Schenlan's initiative the vault in
the city hall will be furnished with
shelves so as to be of some service.
Last year oil for street sprinKling
was not ordered until spring and most
OF it did not arrive here until late in
the summer The city dads will be
forehanded this time and bids will be
asked for at once for one or more car
loads. About cars viii be needed in
addition to 1000 gallons on hand.
The latest applicant for the position
of city building inspector is julius
Raether, local boy now with the 340th
regiment at Camp SherWan, O. He is
an experienced plumber.
The council opened BIDS for furnish
ing the motor driven hook and ladder
which Chief Kratz deems necessary.
There were only two bids on file with
the necessary certified checks. The
Seagrsve Co. hiss the elgiare1. far
$4,000 and the American La France Co.
wants SS500 There were some irregu-
lar bids. They were referred and the
matter will be up again.

ELECTION CONTEST

test for the office of assemblyman in
the Manitowoc district which the cir
cult court held existed George Rathsack,
socialist, won over John Lorfeld re-
publican, in circuit court last Satur-
day. The case was up in court upon a
motion by Lorfeld's attorneys that the
case be now dismissed on the ground
that il is purely moot case that can
have no legal effect, because the sta
tutory period of 80 days within which
Rathsack could file a contest in the
legislature 20 challenge Lorfelds GER
titicate of election had expired and
such notice of contest had not been
filed by Rathsack. This motion the
court denied partly, at least on the
ground that former legislatures could
not bind the present assembly in any
way in its constitutional prerogative
of being the judge OF the elections Of
its own members.
The court then went to the merits of
the case and decided the main legal
controversy in Mr.. Lorfeld's favor,
holding that the ballots had been
sufficiently preserved to Justify the re-
count by the County Board of Can
vsssers. This, in view of the drawing
of two Lorfeld ballots from the fourth
ward bag two weeks ago, left the vote
a q in hn Nuha tat
for each. The court then decided that
the Board of Canvassers not having
drawn lots to decide the tie it would
be done in court. The court placed a
slip in each of two envelopes and
{athsack drew the lucky one. The
court then adjudged that Rathsack was
the assemblyman. elect and that he had
right to have the certificate of cleo
tion issued to Lorfeld annulled and a
new one issued to him but refraining
from ordering the county clerk to issue
the new certificate because the clerk
was not party to the proceeding. In
three drawings LOrfeld has lost each
t me, any one of which would have de.
cided the court case in his favor. 1t
may be that the contest will shift to
the assembly.
Tuesday developments came fast.
Upon the courts Judgment the county
clerk gave Rathsack new certificate
of election. Then Lorield's attorneys
apparently cleared up the mystery of
the two extra ballots in the fourth
ward upon which Rathsack's victory
hinged by showing that the three poll
books of that ward containing the
names OF the voters do not agree and
that the two Lorfeld ballots should not
have been drawn out. Upon this the
court issued an order for Rathsack to
appear in court Friday and show cause
why the judgment in his favor should
Aot be vacated and the case reopened
for testimony as to the actual number
of voters in the ward. The poll books
taken together show about 357 voters
instead of 352 as was supposed. Rath
sack and Lorfed are both at Madison
each with a certificate of election.
Rathsack has also a judgment in his
favor and Lorfeld an order Tor further
testimony.
