The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1875-02-18

VIZ trust that every eieciOr ~
Lake county, when he comes Ia
vote uron the County Seat ques-
,isu, next April. will carefully con
slider in what direction the effect "f
his vote may tend. 1t certainly
seems tous that to defeat The prop
osition submitted by tho Board #
Supervisors to the people, ia simply
to prolo' 8 The presrn! unsatisfactory
state If affairs IN regard Ia the homr
Tor our county government. Lake
county should AT ohce provide
suitable bui ding for it's fiicea, and
the Board of Supervisors viii take
no step, 1t seems, as long rs the site
remains at historicCireen Dell. Why
should the county longer remain
behind the tnes2 The extra ex-
pense Tor rent, with the trouble, in

Delay in permanently locatin-
the County Scat has been advoca'-
ed, OIL the grounds that no one
could as yet tell where the mos,
popul"us town in the county would
he; some claiming that Il village
might spring up at tho geographical
center, or at a point nearer than
Baldwin to that center. which
would he preferable. A great
many remarks arc made in effect
that mt some future day there mary
he n town AT the gcogra, heal cen
ter, or some ether point, which will
"ilstrip Baldwin. There may bS,
but isn't It very improbablci Is it
at all likely that village, possess
ing the superior advantages u Bald.
win will be likely to take back

1t has been hintcd that We talk
to" much Of Baldwin, and ignore
The Interests uf the county at large.
This is untrue. We always have.
and ever will be alive to the inter
csis If our Whole c"eniy. It il our
earnest wish I" see every portion of
lhc county develop aud improve Il"

crue tn our own rs well as the in

We advocate the r, m"val If the
County Seat to this point, because
we believe i, To- he fer the best in
ferrsts If the PEOPLE at large t"
have it here. We aid not locate
in Baldwin because il was Tho Corn
~ Seat or likely t. be-; hat because
we bt licv,d il was the best point
in. Lake county for our business
Results have thus far showed us t.,
have been c",rect IN our Judgment.
We d" u"t expect to- Sec ci'z n
voting for Baldwin IS The County
Seat, because we or ATTY one ell
ak then, 10, hut because they tl'i' k
that by ST. doing they discharge II
plain duty to themselves and tie
entire county. All We ask is tina,
The mass of people in tho county
NAV understand this question IN all
its bearings, and then we 'lall have
NO fear as to Il satisfactory result nj
the polls, providing, they all turn
out md vote.
