Election Ia Hau uhurg Gives Three to One In Favor
81 Electric Line AID

Voters ali property owners in Ham
burg town held special election on
| Saturday last to determine whether the
town would vote bonds of ten thousand
| dollars to aid in construction of the La
Crosse Viroqua electric railroad. The
vote was very decisive, 144 to "a, in
favor of the proposition, thus demon
strating that the people are anxious to
have railroad pass through their terri
| tory that connects them by rail with
| their own county seat and the enter
prising city of La Crosse.
Their vote practically decides, as we
understand it, the fate Of the proposed,
| partially constructed road. There seems
to be little doubt that Coon town will
| follow Hamburgs lead and vote aid
bonds of ten Thousand dollars. The work
will be done by petition, having been
commenced yesterday. There seems to
he no question that work will commence
actively all along the line as soon as it is
| found that Coon has taken favorable
action in the matter. The sooner this is
done the better for all interested. The
CENSOR believes it step in the line
progression that will be of lasting bene-
| fit to every community between La
Crosse and Viroqua Strong as we are
in this faith we have full confidence that
Coon citizens will second the action Of
Hamburg in this good work.
