Now that it is definitely determined to remove the chronic insane who have 
heretofore been confined in our jail, to a more suitable place; it is only 
justice to Sheriff Bibinger to say that his care of these unfortunates 
during his term of office has merited the highest praise. They have been 
well fed (sic), comfortably clad and kept neat and clean as possible under 
the circumstances. Every day during suitable weather they have been allowed 
the freedom of the Court House grounds under the care of the keeper. The 
State Board of Charities and Reforms when here complimented his management 
highly and said that with the limited accomodations provided by the County 
they could suggest no improvement whatever, that everything seemed to be 
done for the health and comfort of these unfortunates that could be done 
with the means supplied. Mr. Bibinger will leave his office at the close of 
the present month, with the gratitude of the relatives and friends of the 
helpless men and women confided to his care and the thanks of the public 
generally.
Lake Shore Times, Dec. 2, 1884


THE NEW ASYLUM. It was hoped the county board would crown the work of building 
the new Hospital for the insane, by taking such measures for the management as 
would insure complete success and meet public approval. The rules adopted are 
somewhat crude, but they are in the right direction, and with the amendments 
which experience will suggest will be all right. 
The trustees chosen, John Carey, Wm. Rahr, Henry Vits, Henry Goedgen and 
Christian Haacker are all good men and will do their part well. With regard to 
the superintendent chosen the board have the satisfation of knowing that their 
actions universally condemned by the people. The incumbent is Mr. Gus. Miller 
of Reedsville. It is claimed that his selection was the result of political 
complications, arising out of the abundant promises which have been made by 
members of the Court House Ring and that it was necessary he should be got out 
of the way before another convention was held. On the score of economy the choice 
was certainly a beautiful one. From the nature of the case the family of the 
superintendent must reside in the building and be supported from the stores 
provided for the institution. The size of the family ought therefore to be 
considered. The other candidates had families of four and five persons. This 
wise board passed them over and installed a family of ten in the building, enough 
to fill up a good sized asylum. This would be a secondary consideration however, 
if a superintendent thoroughly fitted for the place had been secured. There were 
men recommended by the State Board of Charities who had proved their fitness by 
years of experience, these were passed over for a man of no experience whatever. 
Let us hope for the sake of the unfortunate beings who will be committed to his 
charge that the new superintendent will disappoint public expectations and prove 
himself a just humane and efficient officer.

CIRCUIT COURT.
Circuit Court met this morning, Judge Gilson presiding. On the 
calendaer there ar 17 cases of fact for jury, 9 of fact for court, 
3 of law for the court and 16 criminal cases. Of the cases of fact 
for Jury, 3 are against the city of Manitowoc involving questions 
of streets or taxes, of case of fact for court, 4 are divorce suits, 
two of the law cases are the somewhat celebrated cases of the Towns 
of Manitowoc and Manitowoc Rapids against the county of Manitowoc 
the former involving the tax apportionment and the later the question 
of building bridges.
The criminal calender is the largest for years, but the offenses are 
generally petty misdemeanors, with the exception of the Morris murder 
case. The calender is neither a large nor important one and unless 
the Morris case tried is likely to be short.

The trustees of the Manitowoc County Insane Asylum have decided to make 
the breeding and raising of fancy live stock a feature of the County 
farming in the future. They already have a number of high grade animals 
and excellent buildings for the handling and shelter of stock of all kinds. 
The move should prove a wise one. Some of the very best and most economically 
administered county farms in Wisconsin owe their success to their well 
directed scientific farming.

The city council will meet to-night. The meeting is compulsory owing to 
the fact that the warrant of the city treasurer has expired and must be 
renewed before the tax collections can be continued. It will be the first 
meeting of the "city dads" for some time and it is to be hoped that other 
important matters, already too long delayed, maybe accorded some 
consideration. That certain measures which will benefit the city have not 
been given a hearing is a source of general dissatisfaction and the fault 
is laid at the door of the council. "Wake up gentlemen."
Manitowoc Daily Herald, Jan. 30, 1899


MUST "MOVE ON." 
Important Legislation For the Next Meeting of the City Council. Two important 
ordinance are to be introduced at the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen, 
both of which should receive the careful attention of the city fathers. One 
of the ordinances provides for the macadamsing of Eight (sic) street during 
the coming summer. Whether a macadmized pavement will be the best thing or not 
is a question upon which few are definitely decided, but everybody will be glad 
to know that something is to be done toward improving that busy thoroughfare. 
The other measure that it is to be proposed is an ordinance prohibiting loafers 
from occupying the street corners. The nefarious practice has grown to such an 
extent that it is difficult for a lady to walk down the street unaccompanied on 
a pleasant evening or on Sunday afternoon. She is compelled to push her way 
through a crowd of idlers at almost every crossing and is subject to not 
infrequent insults. It is to be hoped that the alderman will succeed in passing 
an ordinance that will enable the police to compell all loafers to "move on." 
At the last meeting of the Board of Alderman resolutions were passed instructing 
the City Attorney to have both ordinances drawn up and presented at the next 
meeting.

Increase of salary will probably be granted to the clerk and register

work of the clerk in Probate is heavier than in the Municipal court 
and yet the salary of the latter office is more than twice that paid 
the Probate clerk.

Slight controversy arose in the session on several questions, first 
being the opposition to an increase to $50 in the salary of the registrar 
in Probate court, the committee recommending that $40 per month be paid 
on the contention that "a woman is not entitled to the compensation that 
a male could be secured for-". Probate Judge Chloupek made a personal 
appeal for the $50 rate and it was finally carried after considerable 
discussion in which Rob. Uek supported the contention of the committee.

MUST PROVIDE BEDS.
Hammocks Can no Longer Be Used at County Jail.
Beds must be provided in the furnishing of the county jail in place of 
hammocks which are now in use. This which is an order of the State Board 
of Control, was brought to the attention of the County Board at the 
closing session in a communication from Gustave Kusterman, a member of 
the state board who was here on Friday for an inspection of the county 
jail and other buildings. A circular was issued by the Board of Control 
a year ago directing provisions that should be made for lighting, heating 
and sanitary at institutions was also presented, the intimation being that 
some changes are needed at the local jail. The communication cited that 
the order had previously been brought to the attention of county officers 
and urged that no delay be permitted in making connection especially in 
the matter of providing beds to replace hammocks which have been used since 
the jail was established.

COUNCIL VOTES $1000 TO IMPROVE 2 CITY BATHING BEACHES 
Will Grade North Side Beach, Erect New Buildings at Both Beaches and Provide 
Playgound Equipment for Summer One thousand dollars was appropriated by the 
city council last night for improvement and equipment at the two city bathing 
beaches this summer. The board of health and sanitary committee will direct 
the expenditures, which will provide: New buildings at both beaches, including 
additional dressing rooms. Grading of the North Side beach and beautifying of 
both beaches. Installation of playground equipment, including swings and giant 
strides at both beaches. The beach program raised much discussion. Alderman 
Schuetze's resolution for purchase of swings and strides started the fuss. 
Ald. Schroeder protesting that the beaches were in need of new buildings and 
improvements before playground equipment, while Bigel questioned the wisdom of 
inviting children to the lake to play. Schuetze made a determined fight and 
finally secured passage of the measure with a limit of $300 as to cost. At the 
same time Ald. Schroeder, with McKeough of the sanitary committee, got through 
a resolution appropriating $1,000 for the beaches, this amount including cost 
of playground equipment. Work will be started at once on grading the north side 
beach and erecting the two additional buildings which will be needed. The 
playgound apparatus will be installed as soon as practicable. The resolution 
also provides for employment of an attendant at each beach at a salary not 
exceeding $50 per month during the season. It is expected the beaches will 
open July 1.

TO DEDICATE CUSTERDALE
Program Will Be Held At Housing Sit on Oct. 18
Custerdale, government defense housing project, will be dedicated Saturday 
afternoon, Oct. 18, it was announced today by Ernest Suhr, housing manager.
Sherwood L. Reeder, assistant director of the division of defense housing, 
federal works agency, will come here from Washington to take part in the 
ceremony. An invitation has been extended to Gov. Julius P. Heil to appear 
on the program.
Program Not complete
While the program has not yet been completed, Mr. Suhr said that speakers, 
in addition to Mr. Reeder and Gov. Heil, if the latter accepts the invitation, 
will include Mayor Martin Georgenson, a representative of the Manitowoc Ship 
Building company and one of the new tenants. Mayor Georgenson's suggestion of 
a name for the housing project was chosen by officials in Washington and the 
site was so designated.
The program will include the raising of a flag which at one time flew over the 
capital building in Washington. The flag was donated to Custerdale by Congress-
man Joshua L. Johns.
Several tenants are expected to move into the housing site the latter part of 
this week, Mr. Suhr said. First to sign a lease was Bernard M. Egan, who moved 
his family to Manitowoc from Fond du Lac about six months ago. The family has 
been occupying a flat since that time.
