WAUPACA REPUBLICAN

January 28, 1887

 

Waupaca Improvements.

 

            The improvements at the granite quarry the past summer aggregate fully $30,000.  The electric improvements are worth $15,000.  Street and cemetery improvements $5,000.  Add to that, fully $10,000 in the improvements to the milling business, dams, etc.  Brick blocks $20,000, several fine residences worth from three to six thousand dollars each, fifty worth over a thousand each, and fifty more worth over $500 each and other enterprises worth $10,000 and a sum total of $175,000 to $200,000 would jut about foot up what this little “Sandy” city done in 1886, and she has foundations and business blocked out for nearly as much more in 1887. Waupaca also pays $100,000 for freight transportation, etc.  Who says this town will blow away with the sand?  Bring along your railroads and business.
