OllT Railroad Interests

!
Our city and county are about to be made
the terminus Of another long line of railroad
reaching northward, and moving through the
| richest part Of cur state.
! Two companies the Northern and the Lake
/ Shore. are each striving for the mastery Of the
| situation, and the road which will most bene.
! fit Milwaukee should be the one to which our
| people should extend aid and encoura cement
| The Northern road is % run about midway
/ between the lake shore and the Northwestern
road, terminating at the Fox river at Apple
/ ton.
| The Lake Shore road is proposed 10 run
through the cities Of Port Washington. She

will not this road if built, not only give all
| that We should receive from the interior road
/ but also give us the additional benefit Of the
lake shore trade We believe it would. We
should receive the trade of the country con-
| tiguous to the Sheboygan & Fond du Lac
road, via Sheboygan, and the trade ef large
section Of the country west and north Of Man
itOwoc via a western and northern road from
Mauitowoc which trade now goes to Chicago
/ by the n ". K. L and the lake.
! 1t has been said that the lake shore ports
nnrth, if built up by railroads will not i'm
prove the business interest Of Milwaukee
( This we deny. We believe that our city viii
I be prospered BY the prosperity Of our sister
towns at the north. These towns and cite.
have always looked upon Milwaukee the
most natural market, and their merchants
have always dealt largely with our houses,
and We should have had an entire monopoly
of their trade had We direct communication
with them by rail.
There should be no warfare engendered
with those northern cities, and we are salts
fed, from the knowledge Of the feelings and
wishes of the leading men Of those towns, that

shall secure by now aiding them to the extent
of our ability, in the construction Of lake
shore road.
! But should our city 1me hostile posi-
ton towards the cities north of us we must
expect that the business men Of those cities
will seek other markets and other people with
whom to transact business.
I From an examination of the papers pub
lished at Sheboygan and Manitowoc, we find
that they have always been anxious for the
construction of road to our city, and We be-
lieye that they expressed the sentiments Of
their readers.
3 That road is now in process of construction,
miles Of which IS now graded within the limits
OF our county. Is 1t wise for our business
men to discourage the building Of the road by
procuring or giving aid to any rival road F!
