The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1909-03-04

The Republican presents to its
readers today a tabulated list of the
new structures and improvements
that were made in the city during
the year 1908. 1t has beer more or
less difficult to obtain the list, not
withstanding the repeated requests
that have been made for the people
to respond with their improvements,
and no doubt some buildings ave
been missed. The showing is an tx
cellent one in every respect, and it is
all the more credit to the city that
the money expended along this line
was Mitchell capital, no outside
money or state or federal funds be-
ing spent in the upbuilding of Mitch
ell.
There are several big projects that
will be completed this year and sew
eral others started. The new high
school building will lead the list
with $83 900, the federal building
will be completed at a cost of about
$4,000, the Milwaukee company will
finish its new passenger station at a
cost of $4,000, the Elks u%ndoubted-
ly finish their new home at
a cost of about $4,000, while the
Odd Fellows are planning on a $12,-
900 home of their own. A goodly
number of people are planning to
erect homes during the present year,
and the outlook in that direction is
very good indeed.
A large amount Of money has been
expended in the matter of laying
cement walks throughout the city,
and in this respect Mitchell has made
a fine record for the past year. The
cement workers We're busy every day
of the season and several miles of
spent a goodly sum of money in the
laying of cement crossings in the
business and residence district and
there is more of it to be done this
year.
One OF the big enterprises of the
year will be the sewer extension for
drainage and sanitary purposes which
is contemplated by the city council,
4 provided the funds are voted at the
spring election.

ures; $4,000 for new residences;
