CITY HALL AND LIBRARY
INCLUDED IN THE PLANS,
ALSO ARC LIGHTS.
Mayor Rahr’s Many Projects for Sub
stantially Helping the City
Along.
HAS THE UNANIMOUS SUPPORT OF COUNCIL.
The Question of A Central High School Will Be
Pushed by the City—-The Mayor Appoints
a Committee to Confer With the Dis
tricts Agitating This Subject—
A Big Move Forward.
Many interesting topic* were discussed at the council meeting. It was de
cided to build a city hall, to cost not less than SIO,OOO. to ls> in use liefore the snow
falls, and to be centrally located. The library will Is- located in it. Arc lights
have been determined upon as soon as streets are paved, and a central high school
will be urged. A conference committee was chosen on this subject.
ARC LOTS WILL
BL USED IN THE
CENTRAL PART OE CITY.
As soon as the streets have been paved
and that will lie within the next few
weeks, arc lights will In* seen on Eighth
and Commercial streets.
it is the .mention of Mayor Kithr Pi
furnish arc lights to the streets immedi
ately they are paved. It is thought that
as soon as the people see how well Eighth
street looks when paved and lighted by
the arc system, those who live in other
sections of the piwn will make endeavor
to have their streets paved and lighted.
LIBRARY MILL BE
MOVED IN THE
NEW CITY HALL
So that the library will lie properly
housed during the winter months the
purpose is Pi have the architect who
will draw plans for a city hall so ar
range the building that some of the
rooms may lie adapted for library pur
poses.
The thought was that some years must
elapse liefore the library will lie in a
building of its own, and during the in
terim the Issiks and the reading rooms
should lie centrally located and that the
library should lie in an attractive build
ing. With this idea in view the plans
of the city hall will lie made. ,
APPOINT A
COMMITTEE ON
CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL.
The question of a central high school
came mi liefore the council on Monday
night. It was agreed by the conncil
meu that a committee should Is* chosen
to meet the committees appiinted by the
First and Seventh Districts to push the
matter of a central high school.
It seemed to Is* the prevailing senti
ment at the meeting that the city would,
in the near future, have the opportunity
through the ballot Ihix of saying wheth
er it was in favor of the city system of
schools or not.

Signed
In the informal discussion that look
place in tin* council room the opinion
wan prevalent that if the question of a
central high school was submitted to the
voters it would have a largo majority.
It was also thought that when it is
definitely decided to build such a school
i J
Oi it its locution ~i‘ hardly Is a minor
consideration, because most of the jieo
ple are anxious for one irrespective of
the silt*.
The committee consists of Aldermen
Raeuber, Schroeder, Nyhageu and May
or Ruhr.
COMMITTEE CHOSEN
TO REPORT ON SITE
FOR A CITY HALL.
It is tin* determination of Mayor Rahr
to have the projected city hall built, as
he graphically puts it, lief ore the snow
falls. At the meeting of the council on
Monday night the Mayor at the conclu
sion of the regular business meeting said
to the aldermen present that the time
had arrived when it was necessary to
build a city ball.
In the course of his talk he referred to
the present shack which does duty for a
city hall, as a disgrace to the city, saying
that no municipality of the size of Man
itowoc is without a proper city hall.
The Mayor queried each of the aider
men and asked them their views as to
the desirability of a city hall and each
one got up and admitted that he was not
only in favor of the project but very
much so. Asa matter of fact there was
not a dissenting vote or word uttered,
hence the mayor apiiointed a coinmittei
on sip* to repirt next Tuesday according
to a resolution offered by Alderman
Bleach.
The mayor named the committee as
follows: Aldermen Rlesch, I‘ohl and
Biegel.
It was the general sentiment of the
aldermen that the site should Is* chosen
somewhere in the central part of the
town, so that it would Is* contiguous to
the greater jsirtiou of the )>opnlation.

When the school census takers had finished their work on Monday mid

showed a decrease in the school jiopnlation in that district of *7. it
was thought by by Mr. Reichert that the North side would show a sub

it. and he thinks there must l>e a mistake somewhere.
There is an increase in District No. 7of over MOO, hat the first ward

If there hil l lieen no decrease on the North side then the school jsmn

MANITOWOC, WIS. JULY 19, 1900.
TO CONTEST THE
SCHOOL SITE.
Not Unanimous in the Seventh
District.
A SPECIAL MELTING TO BE CALLED.
Notice has been Sent out for Monday
Evening Next.
MAY RECONSIDER THE NEW IOC VTION.
I arge Number of the People of the District
arc Dissatisfied by the Recent Choice of
I and Wish the School House to he
Built North Side of the Track.
District Clerk. K. t. Ruenbcr. upon
the request of Louis Schmitz. Carl E.
Schmidt. Ignat z Naidv. Joseph /Uiral
sky and Paul Kattncr. has issued notices
calling a special meeting of the voters of
school district No. T. to take place next
Monday evening at B o’clock. At an ad
jonrned meeting held July !l the district
appropriated ♦20.000 for sclmo! house.
Two sites were proposed. (I) lietwecn
Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, one
htlf block north of Washington, and
(2) on Clark street between Twen
tieth and Twenty-first. The former lo
cated one and one-hab blocks north of
the new Polish church received the en
dorsement of the School board.
After a spirited discussion the site on
Clark street was chosen by a vote of .14
to Xi. The minority was by no .means
satisfied with the selection, and threat
ened to appeal to the State Superintend
ent, L. 1). Harvey, on the ground that
the site is not in the geographical centre
of the district. It appears, however,
that sm'l) an apiwal could not le sus
tained inasmuch as the statutes do not
require sclnsd districts to locate their
schools, centrally. The appeal has now
taken a different form. It is directed to
the people themselves. Those whoop
pose a reconsideration maintain that tin
site south of the railroad tracks is jsir
haps a little nearer the geographical
centre of the district, yet the mass of
children will come from the portion of
the district located north of the railraod
tracks Their opponents deny this.
