COUNTY BOARD
ELECTED IN APRIL
The Personnel of it Will Not be
Much Altered
CITY MEMBERS WILL BE HELD OVER
This Decision Has Alrerdy Been Agreed
Upon
CONTESTS ONLY IN TWO SOUTHERN TOWNS
P. J. Conway of Meeme Will Have Opposi.
lion and so Will Joseph Finch of Liberty
—The Probable Chairman
The election of the Board of Supervis
ors takes place in April but there will
be hardly any contests in the towns,
therefore the personnel of the board will
be much the same as it is now. It is
rumored, however, that P. J. Conway,
the present chairman of the town of
Meeme will be opposed for re-election
by Joseph Connell. Both men are well
and favorably known in the county.
Mr. Conway's career as chairman of
the town, is beyond reproach. H* is
considered by bis conferees one of the
strongest members of the County board,
and has more than once been spoken of
for the office of chairman. Ho is emin
ently fitted by ability and character to
serve his people in any public capacity
that they may choose to elect him to.
Mr. Connell is also a man of abilitiy,
np-to date and aPrt o the interests of
the county.
In the town of Liberty there may be
a three cornered fight. The present
supervisor is Joseph Finch who has
given satisfactory service to his consti
tuents. John Dunbar and George Garry
are both anxious to come in as chairman
and both men are capable.
The members of the County board for
,ue l ily ill hold r until next year
hence there will bo no tight here This
decision was arrived by an opinion
rendered by the attorney general and
endorsed by the city attorney. Edward
L. Kelley. The fact that no supervis
ors will be elected here will keep the
board very much of the same Com
plexion it is now.
Providing that Henry Lehrmau comes
in again from Two Creeks he will likely
be again charged with the office of
chairman of the board. He has filled
the position of office with ability and it
is said he can be elected if lie chooses to
stand and this is what is likely to hap
pen. It is not apparent on the surface
now that any opposition will be mani
fested against him.

DELINQUENT TAX
LIST FIGURES UP
THIS YEAR TO $3958
City Treasurer John Mahnke has re
turned the delinquent tax roll to the
county authorities, showing the amount
uncollected as $8959.08, on a tax roll of
$151,000. The amount which it has
been found impossible to collect is
largely assessed against the rail
way companies which are contested
and will be decided by the courts.
There is an assessment against the
Lueps property on South Eighth street,
also, for pavement.
The collection of city taxes this year
is considered good, although the delin
quent list is somewhat larger than in
1903, being at that time but S2OOO.

MAY DISCONTINUE
THE RURAL MAIL
SERVICE IN THE WEST
Information comes from Washington
that there is a possibility that many of
the ruflil mail routes will be discon
tinued. It is intimated that the service
will be largely abandoned in the West
owing to the fact that it is carried on
at a great exjiense to the general
government. While the rural mail
service is exceedingly accomodating to
the people who live in the country dis
tricts, the fact is that not enough mail
is distributed to warrant a general
adoption of the plan. It is furthermore
asserted that many of the routes now
established in the West will shortly be
discontinued.
REPORT IS CIRCULATED
OF SEVERAL LIGHT
CASES OF SMALLPOX
There is a rumor that at a number of
places in the county cases resembling
smallpox has broken out, and quaran
tine has been established. The report
is that a mild case has broken out in
the family of G. Seeger of Reedsville,
but there is nothing dangerous aliout
it. At Maple Grove there is one light
case. The season for smallpox is well
over and there need lie no fear of its
spread.

COLLECT TAXES ON
UNPAID MORTGAGES
The city attorney will institute pro
ceedings against a number of property
owners to collect taxes on personal
property yet unpaid. Most of the cases
are to collect taxes on mortgages. The
case of Henry Meany may come up. It
is alleged that the taxes on a mortgage
of $24<K) remains unpaid. The case
was called in court and an adjournment
taken. Meany claims that the assess
ment is an error: that he holds no mort
gage for the amount.
One case is scheduled for a hearing in
Municipal court Tuesday afternoon,
Wenzel Cizek, guardian of Alvina
Scharer, a minor, lieing the defendant.
In this action it is claimed that the tax
on a mortgage of $lOlO held in the city
and listed on the i>ersonal projierty fax
list, is unpaid. The fourth action is
against Peter Behringer and is brought
to secure payment of an assessment on
on a S7OO mortgage.

JOSEPH VILAS DENIES
HE WILL STAND FOR
MAYORALTY NOMINATION
Joseph Vilas requested The Pilot to
contradict the statement that he was
willing even as a compromise candidate
to take the nomination of mayor of this
city. He said that he was approached in
reference to the matter but declined to
even consider the pr position, his busi
ness interests more than monopolizing
his time. He said he felt flattered by
the mention of his name, but he thinks
there are other men fully capable of
performing the duties of chief executive
of the city as well as he, and futhermore
believes a compromise candidate can oe
agreed on.

FOR SUGAR BEET
GROWING HERE
Series of Meetings Projected in
Manitowoc County
which will be held next week
At Cato, Grimm*. Kasson. Bril lion and
Peedsville
Tilt; FARMERS ARF. ON IMF; ALERT NOW
Will Stimulate Great Energy in the Agri
cultural Districts Time and Place
of Meetings
A series of meetings will Is; held in
Manitowoc county next week to advise
fanners of the advantage of planting
beets for the purpose of the sugar in
dustry, and they will be given under
the auspices of the Kankauna Sugar Cos.
The meetings will be held as follows:
Monday Morning Cato.
Monday Afternoon Grimms,
Monday Evening Heedsville.
Tuesday Morning Kasson.
Tuesday Evening—Brilllon.
The object of these meetings is to
explain the plans of the company and
to create an interest in the production
of sugar beets. Experiments that have
been conducted through a series of years
have shown that Michigan ami Wis
consin are adapted to the raising of
sugar beets. It is a fact, though it is
not widely known and not mentioned
in the geographies, that by far the
greater part of sugar used is beet-sugar
manufactured in the sugar factories of
Michigan: and it looks as if the time is
not far distant when every section of
the state will have a beet-sugar factory.
Business men and farmers should
make it a point to attend tnese meet
ings so as to learn as much as possible
about this new industry which is coming
and which will bring greater wealth,
more work, and more business.
