At Four Mile Lake

           CEMENT WORKS WILL HELP CHELSEA.

                        ___________________________

       These Cement Works Will be Extensive Ones and
         Preparations are Being Made for Their Erection.

The Argus the other day spoke of the new cement factory about to be erected near Chelsea by Detroit capitalists.
The Chelsea Herald last week has the following additional facts concerning this enterprise, which is to increase the population of the county.

A. deal which will be of direct benefit to Chelsea is now in process of completion by Detroit capitalists.
As men mentioned in the Herald of Feb. 23, the have secured options on lands round Four Mile lake aggregating in all 1,000 acres.
They have closed the deal with Nathan Pierce for 20 acres of land paying therefor $20,000, and are now closing up the contracts for the other 800 acres.
Mr. Pierce has of that amount the 160 acres of land he has just homesteaded.

Surveyor M. J. Noyes has been engaged to stake out the lands and the Michigan Central has already laid out the sidetrack, which will commence at the old gravel bed 1½ miles west of Dexter and will go thence northeast along the west bank of the Four Mile lake ditch.

The factory is to be operation within a year and will give employment to a large number of men, many of whom would live in Chelsea.
With the electric road coming into the village and the prospects of this factory locate so near to us, the property interests of Chelsea should still hold up to their present good prices.
