ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A rOuSlng mass meeting was nolu
at the village hall Saturday evening
for the purpose of considering a
railroad proposition as melted out
by w. r. ellis, chief construction
engineer of the "What?" railroad.
The proposition was to the effect
that the said railroad company is
willing to pay $4,000 for right of
way through the village of Lady
smith and that the citizens shall pay
whatever the amount may be over
5000.
This was discussed freely by some
Of the business men and others who
spoke very favorably of the project.
Mr.. Fritz of the Pioneer store, in his
speech said, he felt that another rail-
road, especially trunk line, through
Ladysmith would be of great benefit
to the city in general, and that he
had a large tract of land and other
property (Which is worth snug
sum of money! on the proposed right
of way, but If the railroad wished to
go through his property they could
do so, even if he had to make them
a present Of it.
This, however, was only small
part Of the enthusiasm displayed and
if all could be as liberal, or even as
jealous as Mr.. Fritz, there would be
no question but that this road would
come into Ladysmith without much
additional costs to the citizens.
The road leading to Tony and
towns east, will be closed permanent
ly tomorrow. Mr.. Johnson, Of the
Wooden Ware Co., states that he
will put bars at the end of the dam
and only pedestrians will be allowed
to pass over the bridge, as the town
board refused to pay the Wooden
Ware Co., what was asked for the
lease of the bridge. Consequently
all teams III the near future, will
find it necessary to travel by way of
the upper bridge.
