Our village trustees met last Mon
day but there being no quorum pres
ent, adjourned for one week. We
should think it was about time for
them to act in the matter of a city
charter, as we hope they have enough
of these amendments to that of our
village. We have a larger number of
inhabitants now, than half of the cities
of Wisconsin and with our unsurpass-
ed harbor and the prospect of soon
having a Lake Shore and Appleton
railroad, we can well afford to ask for
a good substantial charter for the city
of Manitowoc.
