A special from Madison to THE ENTERPRISE, dated March 9, 1880, informs us that thecommittee of report were unanimously against the repeal of the Cedar Creek HydraulicCo., Charter. The committee found, by close observation, that the petition broughtin the senate by B. S. WEIL, of West Bend, to be a misrepresentation of the factssetting forth that the hydraulic company by damming the Cedar lake in winter anddraining it a few inches in summer, to supply the millers along the creek with sufficientwater to carry on their business, is detrimental to the farmers along the Cedar Creekor near the lake, draining their wells, etc. but to the contrary; that it was a benefitnot along to those living near the lake. Thus the water 'boom,” the West Bend Democratand its associates were trying to create was a notorious failure and the Cedar Creekwill continue to be the source of our manufacturers expect to get their water supplyfrom.

Some predict a cold snap in April. We may go sleigh riding in July so far as that'sconcerned.

Mr. GOTTSCHALK informs us that he will commence running his bus to Milwaukee earlynext May.

A concert will be given at the “Stadttheater,” Milwaukee, on Friday April 2, 1880,for the benefit of Prof. Chr. BACH, which promises to be a most grand affair.

THE TOWN ELECTION
As the time of electing town officers is drawing nigh, it behooves the voters tobe sure that they are voting for men for the different town offices that will workwith and for the town at large. Those of the candidates that are already in thefield are all considered good, sound men, but the question arises, are they in favorof improvements that are necessary if they are elected? It is especially so withthe board of supervisors, they must be men that will consent to and advocate improvementsin the town that are necessary to make it one of the foremost in the state, as everybodythat lives in such a place takes pride in saying: “We have one of the nicest littlevillages in the state, and I am proud of it!” Such men must be chosen that willbe persisting in the line of improvements, and so long as we have town officers thatwill object to improvements, so long as we be obliged to take with the greatest ofanimosity the different opinions that are often expressed by outsiders: “Cedarburgis very nicely located, but the inhabitants are not in favor of improvements of anykind!” Such expressions are of common occurrence. The only true method of buildingup a town, no matter how and where located, is to harmonize in all things, no matterof what nature they may be. This town is sorely in need of one improvement, whichalone would make this one of the finest towns in the state, namely: sidewalks!! Where is the citizen that would not rejoice of such an improvement? Now that ourrailroad tax is paid would it not be proper to make such improvements that wouldbe a source of drawing considerable trade here? Cedarburg is blessed with one ofthe finest, coziest and preferable summer resorts in the state -- or we may say in the northwest - but pleasure seekers sun us because there is too much mud! Electa board that will be in favor of improving our streets, the inhabitants and businessmen will be benefited by it.

Not alone would sidewalks be the means of drawing a goodly crowd of pleasure seekersto this place, but would save doctor bills, and the children could conveniently goto school with dry feet, as it is now their feet are nearly always wet when rainyweather, and the consequences are sickness.

We have for several years noticed the interest taken by our German Catholic citizensin celebrating St. Joseph's day. As it was our good fortune to be present at theceremony last Friday, we noticed there must have been undue exertions used in makingit so improving. The music on this occasion was excellent, being furnished by thechoir, assisted by other vocal talent. The quartette Ave Maria by Cherubini wasparticularly noticed, being a new selection by Miss HALM, leader of the choir. Thechurch was crowded, as is usual on the anniversary of the German patron saint. Manythings were tendered to the present pastor, Rev. KORFHAGE, for his kindness in invitingRev. Father ZIMMER, of Geneva, Wis., to be present. Rev. ZIMMER was located heresome eight years ago.
