A Worthy Enterprise.

A Worthy Enterprise.
On the evening of December 3Oth a
meeting Of citizens was held in the
Council Chambers, to consider the mat
ter of organizing stock company to
establish a mandatory in this city.
As the notice was short and the call
only partially circulated, the attendance
was not large, but those present repre-
sented the business interests generally.
The meeting was organized by elect
ing 7. B. Sheldon, chairman, and Mr..
B. B. Herbert, secretary. The chair
man briefly stated the object of the
meeting, and called upon Mr.. Benjamin
Densmore, Of the firm of Densmore
Bros, to submit proposition.
Mr.. Densmore responded to the re-
quest and, after explaining that the pro-
ject was to form company, with a cap
ital stock of 100000, for the purpose
of establishing a mandatory of farm
machinery, steam engines, &C., he
stated that the firm of which he is a
member would take stock to the amount
Of $50, 900, putting in the foundry and
machine shop at a fair valuation. Also,
that it was contemplated to carry on
extensively the same business that their
firm is now doing, and to make spec
iality Of small steam engines for general
work and of steam threshers.
In reply to a question as to the
growth of their business, Mr.. Densmore
said that it had increased fully twenty
five per cent. during the past year, and
that but for their meagre facilities, its
growth would have been much greater.
They had not been able to do nea- all
the business that had come to them.
We presume that the burning Of Messrs.
Densmore's establishment last year in
terfered seriously with their facilities
for doing work, as it involved loss of
patterns, &C., from which it required
considerable time to fully recover.
Professor H. B. Wilson moved that q
committee Of five be appointed to con-
slider the proposition of Messrs. Dens-
more and examine as to the condition
and value of the property proposed to
be sold to the company, and, also, to
recommend plan for future proceed
ings; and that said committee report at
an adjourned meeting.
The motion being carried, Mr.. 7. B.
Sheldon was elected a member OF said
committee, and the following named
gentlemen were appointed as associate
members: G. Cogel, H. B. Wilson, j.
L. Hastings and VIM. Howe.
On motion the meeting then adjourn
ed till Wednesday evening, January 5th,
to meet at the same place at ~ o'clock,

The Defeat of the Bridge Proposition.


1t is with real regret that we announce the
the west side OF town. Our regret comes not
from sny belief that the defeat IN any way
effects the general prosperity Of the city, for
IL does not, but because such decision will be
great disappointment TO the farmers of the
nine townships on the west side, who evinced
by their strong vote that they much desired
it. The bridge is splendid structure, built
Of stone, iron and hard pine, and the price
asked was less than one-fourth OF its cost.
The free bridge is rickefy, unsafe affair, but
worst Of all ii is in an out of the way place
The majority OF the stock of the big bri dge is
owned by non-residents who had become so
sick Of their investment since the building Of
the other bridge, that they offered to give the
county more than hall the money they had
put into it. We though then. and believe now
their extremity was the county's opportunity
and not until two days before the election was
there any reason to believe that there would
be fight made against freeing bridge one
end Of which is inside of the corporation. The
upper bridge is bat temporary affair at best
and win prove a continual source of expense,
besides it is not only dangerous for heavy
oaded train wagons, but has bad approaches.
Should it give away at any time a heavy toll
conironts half OF the trade Of the city in its
egress and isgress. While as we stated at
first we regret the decision OF the county. still
we say no one is to blame, unless they were
controlled by local prejudices' As far as the
people Of the townships east south and north
of the city are concerned it was hardly ex-
pected they would support the proposition.
although it was hoped that for the general
good they would net vote against it. What
to do now, we hardly know how to advise.
We suppose that the city together with the
townships, directly west might assume the
5urden-whieh is really, after all, a very
small one-themselves Still 1t is matter OF
which the whole county Is more or less inter-
ssted, and had the proposition been sustained
It could have been paid for in single year
without being materially felt.
