From the Logansport Daily Journal page 3 dated Aug. 27, 1882:

All the preliminaries for the extension of the Logansport branch of the Vandalia railway to Lake Michigan have been satisfactorily adjusted, and upon compliance with a few easy conditions the contact will be closed, and the work will be commenced and pushed to completion.

Readers of the Journal are familiar with the route of this line to Marmont (Maxinkuckee), and will have no difficulty in following it to South Bend and the lake...

With these advantages before them, our citizens are asked to consider one of the conditions above named, which condition is that the right of way shall be furnished free to the new line thorugh our county. The estimated cost of this right of way is from $7,000 to $10,000 and it is proposed to raise the amount by subscription. A consideraable portion of this subscription has already been secured, and a committee appointed for that purpose will make an effort to raise the remainder during the present week...

1952 - Sewer Project Location of Sewer Line Discussed At Board Meeting A near capacity crowd of interested citizens attended the regular meeting of the Town Board on Monday evening. Many of those attending the busy session were property holders along Main Street extending from Mill Street to Davis street where the town is seeking a n easement for the placing of a sewer line at the back of the properties. The Matter of the location of the line was brought before the group of property holders at a called meeting two weeks ago where it was explained that because there was no alley the the town was seeking easements to permit the placement of the sewers at the back of the property to serve both Main Street homes and those on Ohio Street. Original plans called for the sewer line to go around the Boetsma Upholstery firm Building making it necessary two manholes. At Monday's meeting Joe Boetsma and his son offered to permit the town to go underneath their building if they could be guaranteed that any damage to the building would be repaired. Following a discussion with Donald Lessig, consulting engineer, it was decided to get estimates on the proposal with a view to following the suggestion. It was believed that the construction of one manhole together with the saving in tile would offset the cost of Replacing the floor of the Boestma building. Among the property holders directly affected are the Evangelical United Brethren Church which was represented at the meeting by Board Chairman Lester Young, and L. A. Crabb, Dave Burns, and the Boetsmas. - Mar 5, 1952
