Do You Want a Railroad ?


We PROFOUND this inquiry, more to the popu-
1aon Of the country than the city, for think the
latter have given abundant evidence that they do de-
sire such I'm improvement. And in propounding it
to the country we do it with the very certain aseur
arnce that such portion of the population, as live
where the proposed Western Rond from this City, l
would be used by, be Of service to them, win an
swer in the affirmative. Then we have but few more
words to add the chief Of which are that those
interested mast take hold, and hepsto make such
improvement. 1890 80
. We have neither time or room to make an extend
ell article, is it necessary; wish only get
n fact or two which, however includes the whole
matter before the popuationof the country. What
the city has done towards the construction of the
Road is well known. We think no one will saysbut
that it is all she ought to do, and all she do. But
more must be done. -thasF<-
The Directors have completed new contract with
able and reliable men, very favorable terms, for
tho completion and furnishing of the Road, Thirty
miles west to its intersection with the Wisconsin
Central Road This contract is conditional, allow
ing the Directors Of the Road to abandon it. if they
do not see their way clear to fulflIlnent of its re
quroments. The Directors have made up their minds
to ono thing and that IL not shovclul of dirt shall
be disturbed on the road again, until they have re
liable basis of means to insure its completion, with
out interruption or unnecessary delay. Now, to OBJ
tain this basis it is necessary that at least One Hun
drcd Thousand Dollars of means, in the shape
Of Stock Subscriptions, otherwise, should be OBJ
tained along the line of the Road and from those in
terested in its construction We believe we may say
and to this point wish to call the attention of
friends in the country-that it is upon this point
directly that the work now hangs and depends. If
the subscription be obtained the work goes right
forward al cnce, without interruption if it cannot
il must stop naere it is. -.aae lis
TIE people of the city, as we have soid have done,
and egrced to Go, all that they possibly can At
meeting lust held they have resolved to pay up at
once, all the instruments called for, on their stock,
for the purpose Of keeping the treasury of the Road
in condition tomcet the current necessary expenses
until the final result of efforts with the country shall
DO known. If the country comes up to the work as
desired, all further trouble is end If she CON
cludes not to; 80 be it. As important the Road is
to the City, we know it is more important TO the
Country; and if it do without it, we can We
say it in candor that the construction of the road
will yield twice or thrice to the people of the country,
n that is asked of them and when is further CON
sidered that what they subscribe viii actual
cruo to them, even before they arc called upon to
pay it, it does us, there should be no trou-
blein getting all that is required.
Our people determined to make one urgent per
sonal appeal TO those in the country who suppos
ed to be interested in this work Of which fact, VIC
now notify our friends If the country. Let them
think of it. The work is in their hands. Let them
carefully reflect whether they afford TO do with
out it.
