In this connection the following presenta- tion of the superior claims of East Marengo, as the " future great City " of the Maumee Val- ley, will be pertinent, as another specimen of the rivalry then so rife between the many contending points. It was published in July, 1836. The writer sat out with the assumption that the Miami and Erie Canal (then not located at its Northern outlet) would not extend below Steamboat navigation, nor stop short of it, then saying :
Now, where is that point ? By recent surveys it would seem that Delaware Flats is the first obstaele to aseending navigation. Opposite the Flats, and on the North side of the River, is Delaware Island, be- tween which and the North shore is a channel 20 rods wide and not less than 10 feet deep, as marked on the charts, until you reach nearly the upper end of the Island, where a bar is formed of sand, over which there is not more than five feet of water. Op- posite this point-that is. opposite Delaware Island, on the North shore-is the head of uninterrupted navigation ; and at this point precisely, is the City of East Marengo laid out. If this bar be removed, boats may ascend one and a half miles to Rocky Bar, oppo- site and below which is the old Fort Reservation, on which the City of Marengo is laid out. To ascend above the bar with the largest class of boats is, we

believe, impossible, without cutting a channel through the rock. Will this be done? We think not. Bo- low, except one small sand-bar (as above stated), all is clear to the Bay. As good, if not better ground, is here presented for buikling, and everything is favorable to a termination here, or, at farthest, at the upper end of Delaware Island, where the last ob- struction is passed. Should it terminate at either- point the two Towns will be united in one City, as they are only separated by the lands of Marshall Key, Esq. (160 rods wide), who proposes to lay out the same into lots, and donate one-half of the same to the County of Lucas, on the condition that the County-seat be located thereon. This being consid- ered worth $100,000, it will no doubt have the desired effect. Our opinion, then, is, that East Marengo is the precise spot where investments may be made with the surest prospect, for it is entirely at the head of uninterrupted Steamboat navigation. But if the channel be cleared, it will still be within the limits of the Great City of the West; for the entire dis- tance from Rocky Bar to the Northern or lower side ot East Marengo, is less than one and three-fourths miles on the River. If the Canal be unwisely taken below, immense water power will be created at or about Delaware Run; and then, let it go where it may, it cannot be taken more than four or five miles from this point. There is, therefore, as we conceive, less risk and better prospect in making investments at this point than at any other on the River.
It will be sufficient here to add that Marengo and East Marengo, with Austerlitz, and other " Paper Towns " at the several " heads of navi- gation on the Maumee River," long since passed almost beyond memory, while others, and at the time named more advanced com- petitors, have met even greater disappointment because of greater expectations. Particulars of the " closing-out sale " of Marengo City are given elsewhere in this volume.
At Defiance, then in Williams County, a great sale of Village lots was advertised in 1837. In setting forth the peculiar advantages of the place, the advertisement said : " Un- seathed by the ravages of the speculator, sur- rounded by the most fertile lands, Rivers, Roads and Canals concentrating here from every direction-Tiffin River from the North, the Auglaize from the East and West, the Mau- mee River and the Wabash and Erie Canal -- Defiance is destined to become a great and flourishing Town." The proprietors of the Town were Curtis Holgate, H. G. Phillips and John Evans; and Wm. Seamans, Agent.
Providence was laid out in 1835, by Peter Manor. It lies at the head of the Rapids, and was the point from which General Wayne started for Fort Wayne.
Brunersburg was located on the Tiffin River, about a mile from its junction with the Maumee, opposite where the Wabash Canal locks into the latter. The Town was laid out in 1835, and in 1837 had 600 inhabitants, with six stores, three hotels, two mills and water power. It had ob- tained a charter for a Railroad to connect the Town with Hicksville, for which the stock was taken in August, 1837. The waters of the Tiffin River were supposed to be navigable, or
readily to be made so, for a distance of 60 miles from that point. Brunersburg was then a candidate for the County-seat of Defiance County, and promised to become the principal commercial and manufacturing point between Fort Wayne and the Foot of the Rapids. In 1839 David Bruner and Henry Zeller, proprie- tors, had that portion of Brunersburg lying on the East side of the River vacated by the Court.
Waterville was laid out in 1832 by John Pray, proprietor, and several lots sold to actual set- tlers. In 1833 it contained half a dozen inferior houses, one store, one, grist-mill. one saw-mill and one or two mechanics' shops. From that time it grew more or less rapidly, and in 1837 had three or four stores, with good stocks of goods and large trade. The Town had the ad- vantage of water power from the Maumee.
ADDITIONS TO TOLEDO.
As already shown, Toledo originally con- sisted of the united plats of Port Lawrence and Vistula. The geographical growth of the City, after the union of these, is shown by the follow- ing list of subsequent Additions, made at the dates given, to wit :

As will be seen, these Additions in number reach the extraordinary aggregate of 319, aud range in dates from January, 1837, to August, 1887, a period of over 50 years. Divided into decennial periods. the numbers are as follows : From 1837 to 1847, 7 Additions, of which 5 were in 1837; 1847 to 1857, 26; 1857 to 1867, 33; 1867 to 1877, 153; 1877 to 1887, 100. It will be seen, that of the total 319 Additions to the City, which enterprising proprietors thus made, 153, one-half of the whole, were made during the ten years of 1867 and 1876, inclusive. That may justly be regarded as the " speculative era " of the City's history. The falling off in like ex- tensions during the following decade (1877-87), may be accounted for by the fact, that the great business embarrassment, having its chief source in the financial panic of 1873, did not reach real estate until two or three years thereafter, and was not felt in its full force before 1877. Hence, the Additions to Toledo were in active increase until that year, when they largely ceased, and were not revived to any considera- ble extent until 1883, when they soon nearly regained their former activity.
