The Rail Road Again


extra in a certain contingency, which did
not happen as anticipated, but now, fortu-
nately, we have an item worthy Of being
laid before our readers as soon as pos
sible.
Mr. LEuPs went to Menasha to ascer-
tain what that Village would do to aid the
Rail Road. He reached there on Satur-
day noon last, the President and Board of
Trustees came together at 5 o'clock the
same night, appointed committee three
consisting of Judge BRYAN, S. NJ. BRoS-
son, and ABEL KEYEs, to whom the sub
ject was referred, with instructions to re
port on Monday at s o'clock, A. NJ. The
Board met, and unanimously adopted the
Report Of the Committee, copy of which
has been kindly furnished US, and Mr.
LEUPs left for home before noon of the
same day.
That President and Board of Trustees is
made up Of the right kind of metal. We,
for one, like its ring-especially at this
time. Wonder if this Village could not
charter them to come here and leeisate
for our people few days. We think from
the prompt and efficient manner in which
they do things at home, they would in
double quick time switch Manitowoc back
on to the track of prosperity from which
she was thrown two or three years ago
The following is the preamble and resolu-
tions adopted:
Whereas, The citizens # the Village Of
Menasha have ever deemed it matter OF
great Importance to :heir interests that
connection be formed at the earliest posi-
bic day by Rail Road between this place
and Lake Michigan and whereas they did
in the year 1854 enter into contract with
the Mapitowoc & Mississippi Rail Road
Company, by the terms Of which it was
agreed that the corporate bonds Of their
said Village to the amount of one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, were to be is
sued and delivered in exchange for a like
amount of the Capital Stock Of said Com
