NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. JANUARY 20, 1877.


Representative Steele, of the Antrim
district. has introduced bill into the
Legislature to detach certain territory
from the township of Burt, in this
county, to be organized into a township
to be known as Pennington. The ne
cessities OF having division of the town
of Burt must be apparent to all who
have given the matter any consideration.
When the present township was organ
lied the principal, and we might say the
only settlement was in that portion of it
in tie region of Indian Village, but since
that time Otherportlons of the town have
been settled to a considerable extent.
and each season increases the number Of
settlers, this, with the vast extent of ter
ritOry comprised in the town. makes it
rletes sary to have division for the beEe
fit OF those who are remote from the
older settled portion Of that township.
This necessity was plainly shown at
the general election last fall, in, the fact
that, owing to the distance and inacces-
sibllity to the polls, the Numerous settlers
on the west side of Burt lake were vir-
tually DISTINGUISHED, being unable to
reach the polling place by reason OF the
great distance and the fact that Burt
lake, which they were obliged to cross it
they got to the polls, was very rough on
that day. 1t is also utterly impossible
tor the officials of the town to look and
care for, Us they should be, the interests
of the different settlements, situated, as
they are, so far from each other. Again,
there isiikely to arise feeling OF dissat-
istaction among the settlers of the differ
enU sections Of the town on the. GROUND
that their portion of the town is being
neglected, and their section not receiving
the due proportion in the way of i'm
proving the highways and making other
improvements. All this feeling can be OBJ
Waited by Il division of the town as the
number of settlers i'm any one portion
may be sufficient to demand such di-
vision. We do not believe In making
divisions unless the population is suf-
ficient 10 warrant it and the interests of
the settlements demand it, but we think
that in this case it is required and that
it will be benefit to all sections of that
township, and we hope that the bill may
become law and the division be made.
There is territory enough in Burt to
make several good sized townships,
and as fast as the necessities
demand it. the divisions should be.made.
The same is true of some or the other
towns in this county.

The project OF constructing u tunnel
under the Detroit river is again being
agitated. The difficulties in transport.
ing cars across the river, caused by the
unusual quantity of ice this season, has
aroused the citizesls OF that city to the
necessity of some way of abating it, and
the question resolves itself into either Il
tunnel or bridge. The shipping in
terest protest against the Obstructing of
the navigation OF the river by construct
ing a bridge over it, and the practicable
ty of tunnel is being discussed The
tunnel committee held meeting in De-
troit last Saturday, a number OF other cit
izens being present, and the subject of
the tunnel was thoroughly discussed,
and we should judge from the report of
the meeting, that the prospects for tun-
mel were Very promising.
This is question which interests all
lake ports. for whatever conflicts with
the shipping interests upon our lakes. eff
fects all lake towns. There are none but
who will admit that a tunnel would af-
ford the necessary means of transit for
the cars, and in 10 manner be an impedi-
ment to navigotiOn-whjle many con-
tend that bridge would seriously inter-
fere with, and be u great damage to. the
vast vessel interests upon our great
lakes; and it would seem to us that if a
tunnel is at all practical, one. should
be constructed. tg5 f.t.ff 80
The sentiments expressed at the meet
ing last Saturday would lead us to be-
lieve that the project was not only. feasi-
BILE, but that there would be no great diff
ficulty i'm raising the capital for con-
structing it. Mr.. Luther Beecher, one of
the wealthy men of Detroit, said he
knew of number of citizens ready to go
intothe project, and he. with them,
stood ready to pledge one third of the
necessary capital for its construction. 1t
was decided that committee of experts,
railroad men and others, to exame plans,
be appointed by the mayor and chairman
OF the meeting, and report the result at
some future meeting of the committee.
1t is to be hoped that tunnel will be
built.

Railroad RunlOrs.

The Traverse Bay Progress. Of Elk
Rapids, revives the old rumOr of the
Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw railroad
forming junction with the Grand Rap
ids d Indiana railroad; 1t says there is
a movement OH foot in Antrim county to
get the Jackson. Lansing & Saginaw
railroad company to extend their road
from Otsego lake to the head of Torch
lake, intersecting the Grand Rapids &
Indiana railroad at or near MancelOna,
and that the project is said to be favorably
regarded by the officials OF the former
road. How much foundation there is
for the rumor we do not know. but we
are inclined to doubt it. Heretofore the
officials of the Jackson, Lansing & Sagi-
naw road have denied any such inten-
ton. We do not believe 1t TO be the in
terest Of that road to unite with the
Grand Rapids & Indiana road. but that,
OH the contrary, it would be to their in
terest to push their road through OH the
original line here to Cheboygan, and un-
til there is official confirmation of the
rumor we shall he inclined to think it
very doubtful. f

Geo. w. Bell, Esq, has the plans and
specifications for the new bridge entirely
completed. The dra wings are very com
plete, even to the minutest detail, show
ing plainly the position of each timber
in every portion Of the bridge and ap-
proaches, and the relation of each por-
ton or section, one to the other. also
showing the number of bolts and their
positions, so that from an examination
OF the plans, any one desiring to make
an estimate for a bid for doing the work
can figure understandingly, and arrive
at n correct conclusion. Mr.. Bell is en-
titled to great credit for the interest he
has taken In forwarding the bridge
project. and for the elaborate and artistic
drawing he has made. The plans and
specifications can be seen at his office.
