system. The full advantages Of this
will be seen in the future, although
they may not be so apparent to-day.
The city ought 10 guard the rights Of
this company jealOusly, aud see To IL
that it does not fall under the control
or dominitiOn Of any of the companies
using IT, Its full advantages can only
be secured when 1t is kept separate and
aloof from all alliances Of that sort. Put
TO It's legitimate uses, it will be but a
little time until the county will have
been amply repaid for all the meney in
vested in the enterprise.
About eleven o'clock yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Ball was notified that he was
wanted up at the Union railroad bridge.
and went there. in company with Mr. j.
VI. Bellcyille. He found the employees |
