The immediate preparations for busi ness, however, such as choosing a site and • erecting buildings, are held up by the free switch proposition, which is still pend ing. It is the desire o f the com pany to buy a site near the river and build in proxim ity to the sawmill, and the officers w ill proceed accordingly as soon as the switch is assured.
