Rensselaer Republican, Volume 25, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 January 1893 — WILL REBUILD THE MILL. [ARTICLE]

WILL REBUILD THE MILL.

The Rensseher Mill, burned down last week, will 1 be speedily rebuilt and on a larger and more improved scale. The parties interested will be T. J. Sayler, J. T. Sayler and D: E. Hollister. The first named will be half owner of the new establishment 'and the other two will own each a quarter. The building will be built of wood, and covered with iron. It will occupy the site of the burned mill. Its erection will be rushed just as fast as the weather will permit, and the

work of getting the material for the foundations upon the ground, will begin next week. In fact, much of it is. already there.,for a large pile of river rock that had been gotten out for crushing for street material, will be utilized for the mill foundations. The capacity of the new mill will be 75 or 80 barrels, per day.' Its cost will be 88,000 or slOl- - The iron covering will include roof' as well as sides. The engine house will be of stone, with a brick chimney. The main floor will be several feet higher than in the old mill and below this will be a good, dry, well-floored basement. As a deserved incouragement to the rapid and greatly improved rebuilding of the mill, the citizens are subscribing liberally to a donation fund, the intention being to

raise 81,500 for the purpose. The requests for subscriptions are being very liberally responded to, especially by the business men. And from a merely business point of view, they nan afford to so respond, for the want of h good rail! in town is a serious detriment to their business, and if, by contributing a small sum in this way, they can greatly hurry Ihe rebuilding of the mill, get it in the location where it will be most beneficial to themselves* and also get a much larger and better mill, it is plainly to their advantage to help the matter along.
