Little Falls transcript. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1876-1894, 1889-08-16
The completed assessm ent' shows that

Little Falls has increased in personal
property assessment from $50, 900 in
1888 to SAL 900 in 1885, Such an in.
crease can not be cQualeds in percentage
in any other city in the state. and there
is no question but the increase will con-
tinuc IN this proportion, The real estate
valuations have increased greatly, and.
the biennial assessment next year will
give the city at least 800, 900 in valua-
ton. and possibly a good deal more.
The personal assessment of Morrison
county is more than one-fonrth in this
city, and another assessment will show
about one-third of the county's valua
ton to be in Little Falls. Under these
conditions the increased share of coun-
ty revenue and road taxes that Little
Falls property pays will more than
balance the small amount Of interest
| that the rest of the county will pay On
Water Power bonds. Thus the "bur-
den" Of the Water Power bonds interest
has already been removed from the
county. And when the added advan-
tases of the increased market that Lit
tie Falls now offers the products of the
county are considered, the scheme Of
| bonding for Water Power Improvement
has already been profitable to every
citizen of the country.
DR.. Vim. l.. Breyfogle, president of
the Little Falls Water Power Co., vas
in the city this week and was we'll
pleased with the evidences of growth
and prosperity in our city. Hc says
that the advantages of no city in the
West are more highly appreciated by
manufacturers than are those Of Little
Falls, ana that the early location Of i'm.
portant industries a this place is Ger
tain. He is well pleased with the pro-
gress already made, and is confident
that thu present rapid growth of our
city vii! increase.
ii. ii. Harrison, superintendent Of
tho Saltwater water works, and IL hy-
draullc engineer Of mach experience,
was i'll Little Falls the first Of the week
for the purpose of examining the city
and water power with view to making
estimates for system of waite: works
1t was found to be impossible to make
an estimate in time for instant submis-
sion to the committees or council. The
estimates will be completed as soon as
possible, and a proposition viii then be
submitted by the Water Works Co. 1t
is probable that the power will lie OBJ
tanned from the west side, us the fall of
water is nearly twice AS great at the
west end of the dam as it is at the east
end. 1t is desired that the system
cover both sides Of the river, and to
make protection complete and elective
1t will require much larger eSpendi-
ture of money than is generally sup
posed.
Although the Electric Light company
is making every efert to get their plant
in operation as soon as possible it will
be two or three weeks before even the
street lights will be going. The Won
derful increase in the number of cleo
trical plants in this country during the
past year has made demand for ma
chinery that the manufacturers can not
promptly supply. An estimate of the
probable number Of lights required in
Little Falls had to be made before the
machinery could be ordered, and there
was some delay in filling the order,
The last of the machinery has now been
shipped from the factory in Pittsburg,
however, and no further delays are ex-
pccted.
