EAST SAGINAW.
The chief commercial city of northern Michigan, and the center of the lumber and salt industries that have made the Saginaw valley famous, is pleasantly located on the east bank of Saginaw river, 16 miles from Saginaw bay. The stream is navigable for the largest lake vessels, and the large ex- port business in salt, agricultural and forest products combine to make it one of the most important commercial and manufac- turing cities in the west. The corporate limits of the city include about 3, 750 acres, divided into Swards, and the consolidation with Saginaw City, only a question of time, and measures toward which are in progress, will give a new impetus to trade, population and industry. The business portion of the city is compactly and sub- stantially built of brick and stone, while in private residences few cities of its size can boast of a greater number of exceptionally elegant ones. The public streets are wide and well.paved and planked, and the city has an excellent system of sewerage, which is being extended constantly. It is sup- plied with gas. the Holly system of water works, metropolitan police sys- tem and fire department. Two lines of street railways furnish cheap transit. A. line of commodious river steamers con- nect the city with Bay City by water, and regular lines of steamers run daily and weekly between lake Huron shore points to Alpena and Mackinaw on the north, and to Goderich, Port Huron, Detroit and Cleveland south and cast. Three toll, 1 free and 2 railroad bridges span the river, affording ample facilities in this respect. The city is the center of a rich agricul- tural region, which is rapidly developing and will, within the next decade, prove to be the garden of the State. Half a mill- ion bushels of wheat, besides other grains raised in this vicinity, are marketed here during the year. The city enjoys facili- ties afforded by 5 lines of railroad, viz: Flint & Pere Marquette, Detroit, Saginaw & Bay City, Saginaw Valley & St. Louis, Chicago, Saginaw & Canada, and Jackson & Saginaw Div. Michigan Central. The Port Huron & Northwestern Narrow Gauge road, now terminating at Marlette, is also projected to this point, and is one of the consummations for 1881. A shore line is also projected to Alpena. and the Saginaw and Mt. Pleasant Narrow Gauge, now in operation, places the principal points in Isabella county in rapid and easy communication with the city.
The assessed valuation in 1880 was $7,- 526,610, and the tax levy $154,989.21, ex- clusive of State and county ta.x.
The manufacture of dairy salt, as well as the ordinary grades of salt, is carried ou extensively. The city is the headquar- ters of the salt producing territory of the State, the product of which has increased from 4,000 barrels in 1860 to 2.676,588 bar- rels in 1880. It is also the headquarters and base of supplies of the lumbering regions, which produced in 1880 1,090, 452, - 928 fect of pine saw logs, 863,356,009 feet of lumber, and 241,075,160 shingles, be- sides lath, staves, oars, oak and pine square timber in large quantities.
