PROPOSED WATERWAY
FOLLOWS OLD ROUTE
USED BY EXPL ORER
fBv Associated Pressn


GREEN BAY, Wis, Sept 4-Jean
Nicolet, the adventurous Norman, who
discovered Wisconsin and founded
what is now the city of Green Bay
in 1884, made the trip from Quebec to
Green Bay over the projected Great
Lakes st. Lawrence Waterway route.
Just fourteen years after the Pill
grims landed in Plymouth, Nicolet,
with seven Huron Indian savages,
started the treacherous trip in canoes,
from the Canadian city; came down
the st. Lawrence river; crossed Lakes
Ontario and Erie, followed the coast
line of Lake Huron until they reached
Lake Michigan which they crossed and
arrived at Red Banks on the shore of
Green Bay in 1884 He made the 1000
mile trip as an emissary of Governor
Champlain of New France. which is
now Canada. After spending approx.
imately 10 years isolated from the rest
of the world in Indian camps fitting
himself for the expedition.
Companions Prepare Way
Nicolet's companions were sent into
the camps of the Winnebago's with
the announcement that the "Manitou-
irinion" or "a wonderful man" was
coming. As he stepped ashore he fired
a musket which sent women and child
ren running into their tents fearing
the GOD of Thunder" To him goes
the glory of being the first white man
to sail that section which is now des-
tined to become the greatest waterway
project ever attempted
Red Banks, where Nicolet and his
helpers landed, is clay bluff standing
about so feet above the water of
Green Bay. A huge boulder to which
a bronze tablet is attached common
crates it's discovery

FINANCES, FRANCHISES
WILL BE DISCUSSED
AT SESSION TONIGHT

Finance and franchises will be the
principal topics discussed at meet
ing of the ordinance committee to be
held in the office of City Attorney
Kelley, Monday evening. The COM
mittee will prepare ordinances for the
bus line franchise, and for the adop-
ton of the 1922 budget.
The discussion of the budget is to
be matter of considerable interest
in view of a letter sent out by Mayor
Handley to various members of the
administration recently. The letter
called for a reduction in the public
improvements fund, sufficient to cut
the tax rate four cents, thus reducing
it to SO cents on the hundred dollars.
The letter follows:
Decides On Cut
II have been giving the matter of
the city tax rate and our budget some
careful thought since our last meet
ing, and l have come to the conclu-
sion that some modification can be
made without Gripping the city in a
program for the coming year.
"You will remember that our tax
that our taxable valuation would be
approximately S35,000,000, but since
that time the auditor has ascertained
that we have about s267,00O more
than that, which means that we will
cipated The budget for the Munich
pal light plant also contains an ap
preparation of $4,000 more than form
IF hn "a
salaries.
81 am also of the opinion that we
can safely cut the amount allowed
for the citys share of public in
provements from $3.50 to $25,00l
thus saving $4,000 there. We have
| had quite an extensive program O.
public improvements this year, thu
| cost of cement rising, and we have
included an increased amout for crush
! ed stone, gravel, oil and tarvia, which
will permit the oiling of the streets
at the expense of the city general funf
/ instead of having the citizens file pc
utions and collect the money for sucl
work in advance.
Reduce Rate
| THE tax rate as we figured it a
our last meeting would be S1.02. bu
ing $4,000 additional revenue, and tn
i $4,000 reduction in the budget TO
the city's share of public improve
ments, we can safely cut this rate
cents making the rate SO cents, in
stead of $1.02.
Even then the tax rate will be
i cents higher than last year, nut i
caused by the shrinkage of over on
i million dollars in the taxable valua
ton, the appropriation for oiling tn
streets at the city's expense, the in
creased coast of the collection and dis
posal of garbage, and the increase
amount required for electric curren
for additional street lighting.
Il have decided that this is tn
right thing to do under the circun
stances, and we have instructed tn
city clerk to present the budget in thi
manner and the ordinance to conform
to it,

tain so pounds of butterfat A gallon
of milk weighs about eight pounds.
Dairy scientists at the university,
state that the average Ohio COW will
produce in a year little more than
twice the milk than Century Queen
Korndyke has given in month. BY
breeding for production, by feeding
balanced rations, and by wedding out
the low producers through a COW test
association, the average farmer with
an average herd can double this pro-
duction, these dairymen state, and add
that the average production Of COWS in

time is pleasant and even alluring. There is no
apparent why the commission has emigrated,
though there may be very good reason which would
justify this expense the taxpayers
we recall that during the debate the recent
special session of the legislature when the state
corporation commission section OF the general appro
priation bin was under consideration objection
made to the generous travel allowance of the
commission and the advisabity of the holding Of
hearings remote parts of the state questioned.
II was suggested in the interest Of economy, that
all the hearings should be held at the capital where
those interested should appear. The reply made
that a trip to Phoenix by large number of wit
nesses imposed a financial burden witnesses
who could not very well bear 1t; that it much
cheaper for the commission to go to the witnesses
than for the witnesses to to Phoenix That
view seemed to taken by the legislature. These
witnesses being citizens of Arizona to be
as much personal expense possible notwithstand-
ing they might have financial interest in the hear
ings while the taxpayers at large without any in
terest should bear the expense of the perpatetic
commission.
Granting that there is justice in relieving lur
citizens OF personal expense which may be
avoided by shunting 1t upon great body of tax
payers, that is form of generosity which think
should be circumscribed by the boundaries of the
state
The stockholders of the corporation which is now
engaging the attention of commission abroad are
not citizens of Arizona, but of California, and
entitled to relief at the expense Of Arizona tax
payers. Being stockholders of large corporation,
they must be able to travel and present themselves
at the proper place for the transaction of all
poration business in Arizona.

would be about to go to him. If Caesar had any
business with him, he should govern himself accord

No doubt il the commission had informed the
Los Angeles stockholders of the proper place for the
