An AsSuRED EAGT-

1t is with pleasure. and an assurance
of confidence that it will prove a
success, that we announce that the
directors of the Port Edwards, Centralia
and Northern railroad met on the 5th
inst and decided to build the above
line. The permanent survey has been
commenced and will be pushed to
completion. With the opening of
spring, work will commence on the
grade and be rapidly completed.
Everybody connected with this
enterprise is in dead earnest to make
or break in building up the twin cities
of moderate dimensions, to those of
metropolitan airs. This line will help
toward such an end. Friends, farmers,
citizens and neighhors, give it your
sympathy, lands, money and goodwill,
and we will all be benefited thereby.
Don't be stubborn and stand in the
way of this enterprise that will benefit
everybody. Hail it with delight and
push it along with a good word, if
nothing else.

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis. !
MARCH 11th 1890 [


EDITOR REPoRTER.-I had the contract
drawn by the City Attorney and left it
with Mr.. VIM. H. Brown, the lowest
bidder, to look over before signing.
The same day we (the committee) were
about to let the contract to Mr.. Brown,
the Mayor came to me and stated that
several members of the Council had
come to him (Witter) and told him that
they were not in favor of building the
ice-breaker this winter, and told Witter
not to let the contract. This is the
reason why we did not let the contract.
P. MCCAMLEY.
EDITOR REPoRTER.-I had prepared
my tools and was all ready to sign the
contract and do the work as agreed
upon. Remember the facts as stated
above by Mr.. McCamley with whom [
did all my talking in reference to the
contract.
WM. II. BROWN.
EDITOR REPoRTER.-I had given no
orders whatever concerning the con-
struction of the pier OF ice-breaker,
neither did I think | had any right to
give any such orders; furthermore,
that matter had been before the Council
at former meeting. All that was said
was in an advisory way, as a private
citizen, and solicited, as [ supposed,
as such.
Dr. G. F. WITTER.
We called upon DR.. G. f. Witter, the
Mayor, and he denied having stopped
Mr.. McCamley in letting the contract
for the ice-breaker. He stated tho
that members of the council had ex-
pressed themselves against letting the
contract this winter as the city funds
would run low before the year was out.
We called upon the several members
of the Council and interviewed them
on the subject and found that Messrs.
st. Amour, Parrish, Timm, Case, Baker,
Lutz and Closuit had not expressed an
opinion to the Mayor by which he
could quote them as Mr.. McCamley had
stated. The reader is at liberty to
judge for himself as to the statements
made above.

MISCELLANEOUS.

There has never been what might be
termed ''boom' in these cities, vet
during the past five years there has
been steady substantial growth. We
expect that the census of 1890 will show
a gain in population from 5000 IL 1885,
to that of $500 in 1890 Real estate Is
not high as compared with large city
property, but it is gradually increasing
Taxes are not high but range from so
to S15 year on residence property
worth from $1,000 to $1,000.
The business men of the twin cities
will give substantial aid and encourage
ment to any one who desires to locate
here and start some business enter
prise. They will exempt them from
taxation for number of years or give
them q bonus equivalent to said tax.
They mean business and invite cores
pondence. Parties desirous of looking
over the water power and advantages
here offered, will be shown around the
city without money or expense.
