which would then take in about sec
tions or about 1890 acres of land. City
Engineer Weber stated that surveys
were made a number of years ago
which would show exactly where the
corporation lines would be extended.
They were made at that time in antici-
patton of such an extension and are
still on file in his office.
Interesting figures were deduced by
the engineer in making his computa-
tions, which show that very little over
half of the land included in the city
limits is at the present time built upon
and remains wholly unoccupied and lit
tie improved. The city of Canton con-
tains about 4,4SO acres of land. OF this
acreage only 2,430 acres are built upon
and occupied, while 1850 acres remain
vacant in the way of lots and addi-
| tions and swampy ground-very little
| of the latter. According to the limits
westwardly by the board of trade seven
Quarter sections, possibly, are to be
| taken in, amounting to 1,120 acres, a
good portion of which is really built
upon, while q part of 1t is vacant land
and lots. The extension of the limits
as proposed by the city engineer would
| add 2.0S0 acres. with probable total
valuation of $S32,000, or figuring the
taxes approximately about $24,96OOO
yearly. Therefore If the extension of
! the limits is made, on the northeast,
north and west extensions, there would
be added to the city, mostly of unoc-
cupied land, 30 acres more land than the
aggregate of unoccupied land in the
| city, or a total acreage of unoccupied
| land of considerable over 5000 acres,
and If divided into lots of six to the
acre, over $4,000 lots.

The Rev. Owens selected a very favorite
