TO THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF CEDARBURG -- I have been informed of my nomination by you as Mayor of the city.

We had the pleasure of a call a few days ago from Mr. August BLIESENER now of Sturgeon Bay, Wis., and formerly an old citizen of this County living near Cedarburg. Mr. BLIESENER is a boot and shoe maker and a musician of some talent having organized a cornet band of eleven members at the Bay where he has resided since the year 1871. He reports sleighing first rate between Sturgeon Bay and Green Bay, this being the winter route to the nearest railroad station when no boats are running. He thinks that the canal has added but very little to the growth and prosperity of the place since it was completed, but that business was quite lively during the time it was under construction.

PORT WASHINGTON ITEMS FROM THE Star
We understand that Prof. Martin ZIMMERMANN, the popular leader of our band, and who, more than any one, brought that organization to its present efficient and excellent state, intends moving to Michigan as soon as his saloon license expires. He says it will be impossible for him to pay the increased license and make a living. While we shall be sorry to lose Mr. ZIMMERMANN, we cannot but agree with him when he affirms that he is not patronized by the very class of men who should be interested in keeping up the organization of a band. With the removal of Mr. Z., the band will undoubtedly cease to exist, as there is no one in the city, we believe, capable of filling the position of leader.

Mrs. A.M. ALLING, of Saukville, is suffering from a broken arm, caused by a fall last week Thursday. Dr. SMITH is the attending physician.

Much guessing has been going on as to the number of liquor licenses likely to be taken out this year. The probabilities are that fully a dozen will be issued. A number of so-called temperance saloons will make their appearance. A move will probably be made by those interested in the liquor business to have these institutions licensed, with a view of closing them up altogether, as it is claimed they will be an injury to those who (unreadable) liquor licenses.

The property near the depot, lately owned by Mr. H.C. NERO, was sold not long ago to Mr. George DIEFENTHAELER, of Elkhart Lake, and he arrived to take possession, and make it his home, last Thursday. As his family is small, he only occupies so much of the house as he needs, leaving the balance, including the cheese-curing room to former occupants. We understand Mr. D. was a merchant and trader in Elkhart, and promises to be a welcome resident in our new, growing city.

Our Dairy Editor, to be nearer the chief point of his cheese business, will with his wife, make at least a summer domicile in Saukville, but will be here quite often also.

Not without some feeling of regret, I must announce that a new enterprise in which I am about to embark, has rendered it necessary for me to retire from the photograph business in this place, which for the last 18 years, I have untiringly endeavored to carry on satisfactorily to myself and my patrons, and which during those long years has brought me into such pleasant relations with the good people of Cedarburg and vicinity. It would however be very improper, now that Cedarburg has become a city, to leave it without a first class gallery, conducted by a first class artist; and so we have had the good fortune to procure the latter in the person of Mr. F.W. SANDER, who has taken possession of my gallery where he will, without interruption continue the business. His experience in some of the leading galleries of England and the Eastern States, is a sufficient guarantee of his superior qualifications as a successful photographer. I take the opportunity to express herewith my sincerest thanks to the public for all past favors so kindly bestowed upon me, with the request to transfer them as liberally to my successor, Mr. F.W. SANDER, whom I most heartily recommend to your esteemed patronage. Respectfully yours, G. PODOLL

MAYOR'S OFFICE, CITY OF CEDARBURG
April 21st 1885
To the Common Council:
It is made the duty of the Mayor to “recommend such measures as he may deem proper and advantageous to the city.” In compliance with this provision of the city charter, I would call your attention to chapter 296 of the laws of 1885. The license fee therein enacted and what is commonly called saloon license, is $100 and $200. The latter sum to be paid in villages and cities containing a population of over five hundred inhabitants. The following is the provision of said chapter 296, to ascertain the number of inhabitants, to wit: “The population of any city or village shall be ascertained by the last preceding enumeration by the state or general government.” The last enumeration was by the general government in the year 1880, but it does not indicate in the official records of said census, the population the village of Cedarburg then contained; indeed, it does not even mention the existence of such village at all. The law above referred to makes no provision whatever to ascertain the population either as to its number in the year 1880 nor as it may be at present in case such census fails to give the information required by said chapter; it merely says that the population shall be ascertained in the manner above quoted. This excludes or forbids any other mode by which the population could be ascertained unless expressly authorized in the same law.

It is for you to decide what the license fee for saloons under this defective law shall be; and I would further advise to have all licenses dated on or after the 1st Tuesday in May next, to be in force until the next Tuesday of May 1886.
Fred. W. HORN, Mayor.
