CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The city council met in regular ses-
sion Monday evening. The official min
utes appear on another page. Reyo-
linSk was the only absentee.
There was a long discussion of pres
ent and proposed regulations of auto
mobile parking. The present ordinance
prohibits parking on Eighth street only
on the two short stretches between
Commercial street and the river and
Quay street and the river.
The proposal that seemed to receive
the most favor was to extend the park
ing zone from Chicago to Washington
streets on Eighth street and provide a
half hour limit for any car, Another
proposal was to limit parking to
space within six feet of the curb. This
will require parking parallel to the
curb and help a lot on Eighth street
where there is little room between a
parked,car and a passing street car.
City Engineer Alter reported that
Monday. a normal traffic day, be
tween ll:t5 a. m. and l2:l5 p. m, the
noor hale borr Aoo outomobfes and
ooo oodo.tri,ns crossed tbe Figbtb
street bridge. At Tenth street the
count WAS 800 cars and 10 pedes-
trians. The matter will come up again
at the next meeting.

The committee on cemetery and

as the principal reasons that the price
is too high and the dearth of available
funds.

Edward keenan, of Kossuth died on
Saturday of last week. He had been
in feeble health for some time so that
his death was not unexpected Mr..

was quite prominent for time in the

The four-months' old child of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Whitman died on
Monday of this week,

Captain VIM. Hempschemeyer of
this city died on Sunday night last,
after a long and painful illness Hc
was born May 10, 1885 at Hanover,
Germany, and came to this county
when IA years old, settling in Newton
He enlisted in Co. f, 29th Wisconsin,
and served through the several grades
until he was commissioned captain in
1864. His regiment saw hard service.
After his return to Manitowoc he en-
gagged in the grocery business and later
became manager of the Williams house.
He served as city clerk, register of
deeds, was elected twice to the assem-
bly, and was a delegate to the national
convention which nominated Garfield.
For some time he managed the hotel
at Silver Lake. Mr.. Hemschemeyer
was an excellent citizen and a man of
liberal views. His funeral took place
on Wednesday under the management
of the G. A. r. Post of this city.
The counsel given by Father Piel OF
this city to few of his parishioners
who announced their intention of hear
ing the ex-priest, was to say or do
nothing which would cause n disturb
ance and to act at the meeting as they
should everywhere, as law-abiding citi-
zens. Contrast this advice of priest
of such purity of character as Father
Piel is with the TRADE of such a man
as Slattery, and say which is more
likely to be faithful exponent Of the
church in whose tenets he was edu.

ence of the Associated Press. .)-Fruit
growers of Porto Rico have asked the
emergency fleet corporation to equip
100 steamers as refrigerator ships to
carry fruit not only between Porto
Rico and the mainland, but between
the United States South America and
European countries. a
The fruit growers have submitted
to the corporation memorandum
saying that each ship should have
from 10000 to zoo, 900 cubic feet Of
refrigerator space. They assert that
last year they lost more than $500. 900
on their products because of insult
f1cient tonnage and because none Of
frigeration facilities. The statement
declares that. aside from the lines
engaged in the banana-carrying trade.
the United States has not more than
dozen partly equipped insulated re-
frigerator ships.
These proposed refrigerator ships.
it is urged by the fruit growers,

They say also that refrigerator ships
are needed to carry apples from north
