enth annual message to the council. In
view OF the need of a new bridge, the
mayor suggests that a committee be
appointed to confer with officials of
the Wisconsin Central railway COM
pany to ascertain if it will not be pos
sible for the railway company and city
to cooperate in the matter of con-
Structing bridge, provided the report
is true that the railroad company
eventually intends to build it's main
line through Saltwater. The mayor
recommends that no more macadam
paving be done in the business part
of the city and suggests that Second
street be paved with brick in the near
future. He deals with the financial
condition of the city and points out
the mistaken impression that the city
is in a worse condition financially
than it has been, but, on the other
hand. states that the city is in good
condition; that thousands of dollars
worth of old bonds have been paid off
and that no new bonds have been is
sued since 1881. He urges residents of
saltwater to patronize home mer-
chants and business men as an impor-
tant means of building up the city. In
conclusion he points out the many adj
Yantages Saltwater has for manufac-
turing and says: I'VE are now prac-
tically assured of a considerable adj
dition to the manufacturing industries
of our city in the near future. That
men OF such acknowledged business
and financial ability will make a sue
cess of the undertaking is assured in
advance. 1t is a good omen and gives
us renewed courage and faith in the
future of our city"
