An Injunction has been drawn up
restraining the township board OF
Greenland, Ontonagon county, from
: building town hall in Greenland
village. The town board recently
decided to erect the building at an
expense of $4,000 or $4,000. Mass
City and others outside of Greenland
village are opposed to this partially
from local jealousies and also from
the fact that the township owes
something like $4,000, Quite a
spirited contest is looked for in the
courts.
Not all are fully aware OF the
great benefit the brick yard as II
is now conducted, is to the business
interests of the town. The Wolf
brothers-Frank,C Charles and"Dick
who are in charge Of the works
this year, have system Of their
own in dealing with the men in
their employ. They have adopted q
plan whereby the men are privileged
to quit work every day after 1000
brick have been moulded and hacked
in the drying yards. AS a result
the men are usually through with
their days labor before 5 O'Clock
p. m. Thirty men and three boys
are steadily employed at the present
time, the wages averaging ~ per
day. The first kiln Of 10000 brick
is now undergoing the process Of
burning, and another kiln about
four times as large is being con-
structed. The product appears to
be the finest yet turned out at the
works.
