The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1921-11-10


nance providing for 100000 bond issue
for high school purposes was on file
and the ordinance was ordered pab-
lshed, preparatory to submitting it 10
the people The date for the special
election has not been fixed but it Will
probably be Dec. 13. This movement
is under the state law providing for
direct legislation and the ordinance
need not be adopted by the council at
all under this plan, if a majority OF the
electors of the city voting fayors it,
The Shipbuiding corporation had on
file communication asking that part
of the Ninth street pontoon bridge be
removed so that boats of wide beam
can go up river. They expect con
siderable winter fleet here this winter
which makes for work at the yards and
benefit to everyone. The removal
will be made as the thing is useless and
unsightly.
Wergin, chairman of the bridge com
mittee, expressed the opinion that the
only effective device to prevent some
motorists from trying to climb up the
rising leaves of the Tenth street baS-
cule is a shot gun in good working or
der. He said that alarm bells have no
effect on them.
Judge Chloupek came before the
council and asked that the office of
probation officer, created a year ago
at his solicitation, be continued. Mrs.
Mabel Killen, probation officer, also
appeared and made a report Of her
work for the year. The two reports
made such an impression that the coun-
ell decided to continue the office even
if Two Rivers, which is in partnership
with this city in maintaining the of
fcer, refuses to longer continue the
joint relation. In that case Mantowoc
will go it alone.
The council spent some time and
language over the question of poor and
the state mothers pension law. A
resolution was adopted asking the
county board to kindly obey the law
and set aside enough county money to
put the mothers pension provisions
into operation.
The matter of stopping the payment
of Sl5 per month to josef. Zigmund
Jr., fof the care Of his father on the
ground that he has other sons amply
able to support him came up on a com
mittee report for such action. 1t
caused a furry and lot of talk. The
poor committee, so-called although not
always justly, decided that they have
no authority to stop the stipend, the
council having ordered it, After a
vigorous debate and two roll calls the
vote on sending the report back to the
committee was a tie, to Z, and the
mayor voted to send it back.
