two terms and has performed the du-
ties of his office satisfactorily.

fifty cents in excess of the price that
the city is to pay. Rock is now COM

CHAMBER Of commerce FAVORS
Name WIS-RAPIDS FOR CITY
Name of Badger City Also Suggested But Finds Lit
tie FavOr-L. NJ Nash Speaks Strongly Against
Change-Will Cause More Confusion Than
Is Claimed to Exist Now

Members of the Chamber of Com
merce assembled in the council cham
bers Of the city hall Monday night af-
ter long and windy argument and
much explanation voted in favor of
changing the name of the city from
Grand Rapids to some other name and
on a second vote it was decided to cir
culate petitions among the voters of
the city to obtain names enough to
lay the matter before the common coun
Gil. The name which the voters and
tax payers will be urged to adopt is
that of Wisconsin Rapids.
Though the meeting was practically
packed with those who are avowed
friends of the movement, there were
not a few present who were luke warm
and several persons spoke strongly
against any change. There were also
several persons who do not favor the
name, which is to go on the petition.
Pres C. A. Normington called the
meeting to order at 300 p m. and af-
ter disposing of some routine matters,
the discussion of changing the name
Of the city was presented ably by nu-
merous citizens.

Would Have Saved.

Could the city have secured material
and laid two to three times the paw
ing put in last season, the public would
have saved thousands of dollars on the
work that is to be done this year and
next. Cement is much higher and it
is believed that labor will go up at
least ten per cent.
In order to get an early start, the
city is now shipping in rock, ready for
the time when operations commence.
Five cars arrived Friday and were
switched out to the Falk Potato Flour
Co. plant. The material will be un-
loaded there and hauled to South Side
road and piled up. This plan saves
considerable hauling and the stone will
be on hand when it is needed.

Tells of Trouble.


Otto Roenius, one of the most radi-
cal advocates of abolishing the old
name told of numerous shipments that
have gone astray, landing in Grand
Rapids, Mich, instead of our little
city. According to Mr.. Roenius the
limit has been reached and the busi-
ness men have reached the point
where patience ceases to be a virtue
Senator l. P Witter, in favoring
changing the name Of the city in or
der to prevent goods and mail destin-
ed fer this point from going to Grand
Rapids, Mich, declared that when he
first went to Madison q number of So
Ions inquired of him in the senate
chamber how the state of Michigan
obtained representation in Wisconsin.
He further declared that this city was
not nearly so well known as were
Marshfield and Stevens Point.
Ray Johnson. introduced as evidence
large packet of letters which he said
he had saved since the first of the
the month. All of them had been mis-
sent to the Wolverine state instead of
landing in Badgerdom.
Mr. Johnson stated that perhaps
four per cent of his mail went to
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Some Are Against.
On the other hand there were a
number present who believed this city
could struggle along under the same
old name and could make itself known
and overcome the present handicap.
This idea was discounted by the new
name partisans who averred that the
Michigan Grand Rapids, is a city of
some several hundred thousand popu-
lation and with long established in
dustries it will be impossible for this
city to ever overtake them. All the
advertising spent to put this place on
the map, they said, would go to the
credit of Grand Rapids, Mich.
Along this line Senator Witter de-
clared he has seen furniture made here
offered for sale as being the product
of our Michigan rival.
Not AS Bad as Shown.

al occasions as the champion of the
old name. Il have been in business

seven day siege of the "flu" but said
he was feeling fine. George

to look over the records of a case

says there isn't any records to look
up and that there is nothing in the

whatever has been transacted in the
local court for a year or more. Is it
possible that such a condition of af-
fairs really does exist?' *At
