THH HOTEL BONUS.

Z In our local columns is given full
history Of what action has been taken
looking toward the erection Of new
hotel. Tho resolution adopted by the
City Council, giving the Company a
bonus Of $12,500, was transmitted to
Mayor Taylor fo1 bis signature. The
Mayor declines to approve it as it now
stands, for the following reasons: 1t
declares tho Association one ito be or.
ga.ized )" it does not designate any
time within which the undertaking
ahall be prosecuted or completed; it
does not intelligibly refer to any
"plans or specifications" or other data
from which the city can determine the
character or probable cost Of the build
ing, for which the issue Of the bonds is
contemplated; and the prouiso Of Sec.
ton one, evidently designed to regulate
The issue Of the bonds, is ambiguous
add indefinite.
By referring to the proposition Of the
Committee it will b. seen that the May
or is mistaken a. to no date being men,
toned for the completion Of the building
one year is distinctly stated. The OBJ
jections can be considered and weighed
BY all. Aspecial meeting Of the Council
has been called for this evening, when a
new resolution will be introduced, and il
is believed unanimously adopted, which
will be acceptable to the Mayor.
is certainly to be hoped that there
may be no delay IN extending aid ia
this enterprise. We believe the
amount originally asked for, $4,000
was not dollar more than the Council
should have pledged; that the projec
is intended to benefit the city at larg'
and not any organization of individu
ais, and that therefore it should re-
oeive hearty encouragement from tn
representatives Of the city. A first
class hotels sadly needed, and a bette
opportunity will not soon be presented
if ever, for obtaining one. We mus

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC CONTRACT
AWARDED.

A New York dispatch of Friday
states that the Executive COMMITTEES
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany have awarded the contract for
the construction of the Minnesota d.
vision Of the road, 230 miles in length,
from the Dalles of the St. Louis river
westward to the Red River Of the
North, to combination of the Chi
esgo firm Of Ross, Rayson & Co., With
the Minnesota firm Of Brackett, Nor
zisoa l. Go. The entire work is::to be
ended July LIST 1872. The Commute.
also contracted for 10000 tons OF rails
with the iron appendages necessary, and
engines; cars, &c., requisite for the
work.
p The Minnesota branch Of the combi-
nation includes besides Messrs. Brackett
sasd Morrison, Of Minneapolis, Messrs.
Merriam, Wilder and others of St. Paul
all just the kind of men calculated to
put work Of this character through in
the shortest possible time. Although it
seems almost incredible that 23O miles
Of railroad can be built in less than one
