A Marshfield Times survey reviews the outgoing year 1897 and outlines hopes for 1898. Citizens including Rev Elson and several local leaders push for a comprehensive sewerage system, better roads, a new high school, improved fire protection, and broader public works to boost health, growth, and prosperity.
The city debates a sewerage system amid civic focus on a missing Plainfield girl said to be in Marshfield. A advocate urges pre spring steps for sanitary improvements, while pressure grows on central avenues and the business association to spur growth. Local notes include a funeral tribute and a call to avoid alarm during a fire bell warning.
Local leaders push rapid sewerage installation and city improvements. Agha Hume and I Reese urge blocking railroad crossings, attracting factories, and advertising Marshfield to the world for prosperity. They call for elected officials with city welfare in mind and a debt-free, funded future.
The First Presbyterian Church will hold its annual congregational meeting this Friday evening with a social program replacing the usual formal business session.
