CITY COUNCIL NOTES

year tne new council VIII assume llS
duties on Tuesday, April Is. Kapitz
will be succeeded by Frankk Drumm,
by Ed Klusmeyer. The three retiring
aldermen were thanked by the mayor
and each made a brief address. They
have been good public servants.
Schenian served one term and could
not be induced to run again. He has
been active and conscientious. Kapitz
has also been earnest and attentive.
Manitowoc has never had more faith
ful public servant than William Schil-
lin. His public duties were a sacred
trust and he was indefatigable in the
discharge of it. He closes long hon
orable career.
The council transferred to the police
pension fund the dog license money,
1892 and other license fees all total
ing $977.5S.
The special committee on building
inspector turned in their data and the
matter went over for the incoming
, council to wrestle with. The salary
has not been fixed and, as might be
expected, there is no discernible jam
of applicants for the job.
The board of public works was in
structed to get after the Traction
Company to repair the paving which
it tore out last summer at rail joints
on North Eighth and Washington
streets.
Revolinsky's project to improve"
22nd street between Washington and
Franklin streets presents difficulties.
Some improved property is nearly 30
feet above the established grade and
some is below grade. The property
owners will be approached.
Residents on South Ninth street be-
tween Washington and Jay streets
were in with protest against the
street department making that block
depository for the big cans full of
street sweepings. A reasonable per-
son can hardly blame them for kick
ing.
By vote Of 10 to 2 the council au-
thorized an application for a permit
for bridge at 21st street to connect
with Spring street on the North side.
/ The two socialists, Thompson an
Vogel, voted "No" as they want the
bridge at Ann street.
The election boards were allowed
$3.50 per man for the spring primary
and $500 for the election.
The health authorities have been
prodding the city for long time over
the bad example it has been setting
of having a faucet and germ laden,
primitive drinking cup in the city Of
fees Kapitz reported that he had ap-
preached the owner of the building
andthat he refused TO install sanitary
drinking fountains as, he said, he is
realizing less than per cent on the
value of the premises Upon appeal
to the city attorney the council was
advised that the owner could be com
PEELED to install fountains only if the
lease requires him to furnish water,
which, it seems, it does not. The city
will put in the fountains.
The council authorized the mayor to
name someone to represent the city at
the hearing of the Nye bill at Madison,
which authorizes cities to make bonds
issued for public utilities lien
against the utility and not a general
city liability. The council will also be
represented at the hearing before the
state highway commission April IL on
the proposed relocation of the Two
Rivers road.
The East Wisconsin Trustee COM
pany was high bidder for the 5 per
cent docking bonds the city is to is
sue. The face amount of the bonds is
$4,000 and the local company offered
$96,32716 forthem.
Frank Drumm was low bidder on
the job Of repairing the sections resi-
dence but the contract was not award
ed to him because since bidding he has
been elected to the city council. The
job was let to l.. X. Hermann.
The job of building concrete
speakers stand in the cemetery was
let to Steuber and Schadeburg, low
bidders, for $195.46.
The council decided on concrete paw
ing, a street surfacipg that has been
coming with rush the past few years.
The paving which will probably be laid
in 1920 includes about three miles OF
work.
