CRY COUNCIL. The following min
utes were taken at a special meeting of
the common council, held May Is, 1885:
The entire council present, the meet
ing being called to discuss the sidewalk
question, etc.
Several verbal and written applica-
tons having been presented to the
council for the extending of sidewalks
and also for the building of new walks,
the council at its last meeting, held
May 9th. thought il expedient to APP
point a special committee on sidewalks
to review the old walks and to investi-
gate the applications before the council
for new walks. A special committee
was so appointed consisting of Mayor
Holloway, President Stone and Street.
Com. Hyde. 1t was found necessary to
use and expend all the highway tax on
the streets and cutters of the city, SO
that none thereof ought to be applied
for sidewalk purposes.
There are three licensed saloons in
this city which pay into the city treasury
81 500, aside from the license for billiard
tables at SIS per table.
There are before the council at pres
ent for allowance bills in the McLymans
case amounting to 1866.
The special committee found there
were Fl blocks of 4-foot walk to be re-
paired at cost of 1925 per block 10
blocks that would have to be entirely
relaid with new walk at cost of $50
per block; 5 crossings to put in at a
cost of S25 per crossing, and culverts
at cost each of S25. Thus making
the total amount of S1,69l to be paid
from the funds of the city aside from
the highway tax, also the salaries of the
city officials. Thereupon the special
committee submitted the following re-
port, which was adopted:
10 The Council Of City Of Lancaster:
Your committee, to whom was re-
ferred the special matter of ascertain
ing the necessity of applications for new
sidewalks, would respectfully report,
that they have considered the applica-
tons in all their bearings, and while
admitting the necessity for new walks
in all places applied for, would suggest
under the existing condition of our
walks. nearly 5 miles needing repairs
and other expenses of great magnitude
hanging over our city, that no walks
be extended this year.
Respectfully submitted.

much to do with the lieutenant's condi-

Cassyille.

Although the prospect for railroad
to our village this summer is not very
encouraging the business interests of
the town prosper and the people enjoy
life as we'll as the citizens of any COM
munity in the county. Cassville has
many and important advantages both
for business and for comfortable living.
Beautifully situated on the bank of the
great Father of Waters it possesses all
the attractions which river towns have
more than their less fortunate inland
neighbors. Excellent roads leave the
village in every direction and the ferry
crosses the river two or three times ev.
cry day. For beautiful and picturesque
scenery Cassville is not surpassed by
any place in southern Wisconsin. From
the bluffs back of the village which rise
to height of nearly two hundred feet
''buena VISTA presents itself to the
observer. The river, which here all
flows in one channel, may be seen for
eight or ten miles. Steamboats, and
RATS are passing nearly all the time.
Cassville can get along very we'll with
out railroad; but why should we feel
discouraged about the roads building
this summer? When the company
promised to go to work they failed to
do so. Reasoning that railroad cor
poration always says what it does not
mean when the company say they
have postponed constructing the road,
may we not expect to see the cars run
ming in few months?

Editor of The Herald:-I have Just
been examining the late laws passed by
our honorable legislature the past SEES
sion. feel proud of the boys that
were so liberal with the peoples money
in making appropriations to almost ev-
cry institution, that asked for a few
hundreds, or thousands as the necessity
of the case required. 1t was no trick at
all to get at the chink after running
Science Hall through one side of the
treasury. Science Hall is all right
enough, and hereafter all candidates for
the legislature should be required to
spend at least six months at Science
Hall in order to appropriate the peoples
money scientifically. There is nothing
like being liberal, and industrious, more
especially with other peoples money
Just to think that the paltry sum Of
500, 900 is appropriated to buy house
for the governor to live in, and not a
cent named to buy Cornish wagon, and
a pair of mules for Jerry q ike Jerry
all the same) to ride around the city and
take in the sights on Fourth Of July.
But it is not too late yet, simply speak
of it as reminder for the next session
TO correct past errors.
As we are to have an Industrial As
ISOLATION, it is to be hoped we shall be
able to find some poor fellows that are
willing to sacrifice themselves as com
missioners at a salary of $4,000 year,
and all travelling expenses; also, check
or two at salary of $3.50 per month
One thing | have noticed is that people
travel much more when other people pay
their expenses. | have known some Of
our officials to go out to the state Of
Iowa to look at public buildings, anC
buy land for themselves at the sam,
time, all travelling expenses charged W
to the state of Wisconsin. Regarding
dependent and neglected children, VIII,
ever heard the like, of appropriatinI
only $4,000 as starter to buy farm
for the poor innocents. l used to thinl
that when children were big enough t,
work on farm, that they were able t,
take care of themselves, but | guess
was mistaken And then the poor mai
who is to take care of the farm, if pun
chased, would have no place to lay hi
head if the appropriation had not bee
made.
They were certainly kind not to lie
gamblers in on the fair grounds for tn
amusement of the boys. 1t will be har
on the gamblers, but there is still sic
left in the treasury to meet the appro
priation toward paying the expenses {
the fair-if the tax payers don't care

Nor THAT Sort. = Horace Greely's
head was level when he wrote: If you
want to keep a town from thriving don't
build any more houses than you can
conveniently occupy yourself If you
should accidentally have an empty
building and anyone want to rent, ask
three times the value of it. Demand a
Shylock price for every foot of ground
that God has given you stewardship
over. Turn a cold shoulder to every
mechanic and business man who seeks
to make home with you. Look at
every newcomer with scowl Run
down the work of new workmen. Go
abroad for wares rather than seek to do
business in your midst. Fail to adver-
tise or support your town newspaper
that people abroad may not know
whether business is going on or not.
Wrap yourself with coat of impervious
seltishness. There is no more effectual
way to retaid the growth OF town than
actions like these above enumerated"
That is not the style here in Lancaster.
Every encouragement is given to men
of the right stamp who come here with
the intention of starting any legitimate
business. Rents are reasonable. and
living as cheap as in other towns; school
and church advantages excellent, eli
mate healtbful, and the best of society.
There are openings here for pork
packing establishment, paper mill, a
steam laundry and various other enter
prises. A tobacco warehouse will soon
be needed here. We shall be glad to
correspond with any parties wishing to
find good location for any desirable
business.
