Following are q few quotations OF
wise words said by some of the eiti-
zens Of Little Falls about the new
railroad project:
J. w. Berg-I am in favor of get
ting another road. 1t is inst what
we need. We must continue to
grow.

see the need of this road as l do. I
believe they will and / believe it will
be built.

the enterprise and, will do all lean to
help it along. Its what we must
have.

issuing the bonds. 1t will help both
the city and the county.
Jno. Wetzel-It is just what we
want. Every person interested in
the welfare OF the city and county
should vote for these bonds. l be-
lieve we will have no trouble getting
them. The Water Power Co. have
done all and more than they agreed to
do and we are honestly bound to pay
the bonds.

our real and personal assessments il
this country to 3 times what they

cause of all of this growth having
been instrumental in getting tn
Weyerhauser syndicate to locate her

have been the cause of locatinf
many good honest laborfng men OF
small farms, which makes the count
what it is.

in favor of the railroad project.
would do this even if it were in
creasing our Indebtedness but as it i
can'tsee why every person inter

OF bonds. That is all it amounts t.
as it does not increase the presen
Indebtedness of the county one dol
lar and the building of the line vii
cause the distribution of three t.
five hundred Thousand dollars an

son county who need it badly at thi
period.
