Our business men at their recent meet.&g took in hand a project that should Tceive the most hearty and prompt support and endorsement of all our citisenê. The spirit of the meeting, the attendance, and the reported resulte of the past year's work, were all that could be ieêired. Those who have placed themselves at the head of this movement and carried it through thus far, are to be congratulated in view of their success, and the snoouragement they have met with in their überal plans for promoting the interests of ■onrcity. They have placed themselves upon record as determined to do what íhey can to develop our resources, to in duce parties with spirit and capital to loi saté amongst us, and in various ways to - jdvance our interests. They have made a noble bezinning, and are having the hearty good-will of every liberal minded citizen. What they propose is, that the movements they have set on foot shall be pushed forward to completion, and not suffered to go ■ by default. In order to accompHsh this result they must have a good backing on the part of those whose welfare they are geeking to promote. We should none of us stand still to see what will ccme out of it, but must put our shoulders to the wheel and give a hearty and uniied lift. The resolution offered by Mr. Hiscock, and adopted by a unanimous vote, that " the common council be requested to submit to the voters a proposition to raise $5,000 to advertise the city and induce manufacturéis to lócate here," is a move ment in the right direotion. Our city ru'.ers will act wisely and meet the popular demand, if they promptlv, and by a unanimous vote, accede to this request. And the people will be doing a good thing, and promote their individual interests, if they give this propositioa a hearty approval. The people we ask to b.-ing here are just the ones we need. Tuere is not a resident of our city but will be benefited by the establishment among us of well condueted manufacturing interests. The parties who will be profited by this increase of our population are not merely our merchants and mechanica, but all classes of the people. Therefore every individual should have the opportunity, as he has according to this request, to give it the ganction of his vote. Let the common council do what they are asked to do, and we have faith that the people will not for a mOiEeut hesitate in placing this amonnt in the hands of the Association to aid in building up our well organized and prosperous city of Ann Arbor. This is the time and the way to promote our interests, and we must not let the opportunity pass.
