The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1896-07-01

The question of whether or not Paw
Paw aud vicinity want railroad
seems To b- about To he decided. For
wears we have built railroads on paper
For years We have wanted someone ia
make definite proposition, in order
that we might give tangible evidence
of our anxiety for railroad. We now
have such a proposition; IL remains for
the people of the town To avail them
selves OF IL.
AT the meeting of the village council
and town board with the officers OF the
proposed electric road, last Wednes-
day, il was asked that the town give
sl2, 900 and the right OF way. A similar
proposition has been made To Decatur
Benton Harbor has voted to bond for
Sl5, coo for the benefit of the road, be-
sides giving dockage for their boats and
other valuable franchises.
Messrs c. W. Young and Daniel
Spicer were appointed IL committee to
go 10 Benton Harbor and investigate
the project and its promoters, in The
interest of our people. They went on
Friday and, at meeting Monday even
ing at the court house, made their re
port. They are quite confident the
road will be built, and if Paw Paw does
not get hustle ON and secure the road
it will go down in our village history
with long list of neglected opportuni.
ties. The discouraging part of the
enterprise so far, locally, is that so few
of our substantial, leading citizens have
attended the public meetings or mani
tested lively interest in the enterprise
Another meeting will he held next
Monday evening at the court house
and every citizen, especially every tax
payer of this township should be sure
to- attend. Our people should get to-
gether and see what we are able To do
We have an enabling act permitting
the issuance of township bonds, and
this may prove to be the very opportun
ty for making good use of that act
Farmers are as much interested a:
town people. Fruit growers realize al
the present moment, perhaps as never
before, the desirabiity of more ship
ping facilities.
Meanwhile, the NORTHERNER has nc
hesitancy in predicting that, when the
project is in the proper shape fol
action, Paw Paw will do its full share
toward carrying it through, indeed, we
believe this town is ready to do any
thing reasonable to further any feasible
railroad project.

AS compared with the equalization
of last year, no change was made in the
following townships: Bangor, Bloom
ingdale, Covert, Hamilton, Hartford,
Keller and Porter. The following town
ships had their valuation increased to
wit: Decatur, $40, 900; Geneva, $1,000;
Pine Grove, 5000; Lawrence, $4,000;
South Haven, $4,000 The valuation
of the remaining townships was de-
creased as follow Almena, S25, 900;
Antwerp, $4,000; Arlington, $1,000,
Columbia $4,000; Paw Paw, $50, 900:
Waverly, $1,000.
The following preamble and resolu-
ton was adopted: Whereas-The state
board of equalization held in the city Of
Lansing in 1891, equalized the county
of Van Buren, at the sum of fifteen mil
lions dollars, and whereas, said county
being largely an agricultural one, and
containing no manufacturing interests
of any magnitude, and whereas, the
value of farming lands has greatly de-
preciated during the past five years, 10
said county, and whereas, said county is
now assessed by its respective super
visors upon cash basis, honestly
made showing the actual cash value of
all property within said county, both
real and personal, to be nearly two and
one.half millions dollars less than the
amount at which said county is now
equalized by said state board of equal
ization, and whereas, much of the
real estate said county does not
and will not sell for the price
at which IL is assessed by the
local supervisors as shown by the rec
ords and transfers of property In the Of
flee of the register of deeds in said
county: Therefore. be it resolved by
the board of supervisors of Van Buren,
county in session assembled that the
state board of equalization be and it is
hereby requested and urged To place the
equalized valuation of said county at a
sum commensurate with the value of
the property in said county, as shown
by its assessment rolls and the facts set
forth in this preamble.
Supervisor johnson of South Haven
was appointed to represent the county
at the meeting of the state board of
equalization, in August next.
After closing up the business of the
session on Friday morning, the board
adjourned until the second Monday in
October.

The Alumni.

The alumni reunion and banquet was
held at the opera house Friday evening
and was very pleasant affair. The re.
ception was held on the stage, the rear
entrance being used At 8 o'clock, to
the strains of march played by Miss
Floy Snow, the company marched to
the tables. The tables were elegantly
set and neatly arranged The main
tables were set in the shape of the let
te;' ct, the top of the letter being
towards the stage, the speakers of the
evening being seated there, at the head
of the hall. Side tables were spread at
either side of the main ones. Beside
each plate was dainty menu card and
program. Ninety-one of the alumni
and their guests sat down to supper.
The POSTMASTER, Chas. L. Mason OF
Chicago, took charge of the evening s
exercises and performed his duties
most acceptably
The only things that married the
pleasure of the banquet were the inabil.
ity of the president, Mr.. Bert z. Bryar,
to be present and deliver his address,
and of Mr.. Marquis Il. Eaton and Mrs
III. w. Harvey to respond to the toasts
that had been assigned to them. These
three were unavoidably detained from
the banquet.
The first number on the program was
piano duet by Mrs. +. r. Bassett, rs,
and Miss Lolita Slovenian, '94. Then
Miss Ruby Neville gave an excellent
vocal solo, after which Miss Lena Wise,
"a, the essayist of the association, read
an entertaining production on 1.-THE
Worlds Fair, as a ground work for a
discussion of the marvellous progress
and possibilities of this country of ours
in particular, and of civilization in gen.
eral. 1t was an excellent essay in all
respects.
After magnificent piano solo by
Miss Floy Snow, Mr.. Roscoe w.
Broughton, II, the orator, was intro.
duced and spoke of THE Man of To.
day" Mr.. Broughton spoke in his
usual pleasant manner, and his Grafton
was one of the best ever delivered be.
fore the association.
Miss Matte Cooley, "a, sang fine
solo, when supper was served, with the
following excellent menu:
