"The people of Toledo are to bo congratulated on getting into tht habit of doing things to help them selves, and not waiting for the co operation of less progressive com munities. ' "The committee of citizens finds that tho obstacles to be overcome arc not so great as has leen oxpect cd, and the bars can liodeepcnel with a little dredging so as to let commerce in and out. "This is the spirit that wins for any town, and those who are ready to quit at any obstacle that appears never get very far.
