J. D. Graham, U. S. Corps Topograph-\\nical Engineers. He was obliged by circumstances to\\no*:cupy three different stations in the course of his ob-\\nservations here. They were all reduced, however, to\\nthe position of the tall and conspicuous steeple of St.\\nJohn s Cathedral on Court House Square. After care-\\nful measurements from astronomical stations he deter-\\nmined our latitude to be 43\u00c2\u00b0 02 33.7 and our longi\\ntude, west of the meridian of Greenwich, to be 87\u00c2\u00b0 54\\n22.5 in arc. and 5 hrs. 51 min. and ^TH sec in time.\\nLOCATION.\\nMilwaukee is located upon abroad indention or bay,\\nsix miles wide, on the west shore of Lake Michigan, at\\nthe confluenceof twopicturesque and servicable streams,", "height": "2787", "width": "1753", "jp2-path": "bleyersguidetomi00milw_0107.jp2"}, "108": {"fulltext": "92 GUIDE TO MILWAUKEE.\\nthe Milwaukee and the Menomonee, one of which\\nmeanders through the city from the north, and joined\\nby its tributary, turns abruptly to the east, and empties\\ninto the bay through an artificial channel, known\\nas the Straight Cut. An inconsiderable stream nav-\\nigable to a point half a mile from the -place of its em-\\nbouchure, meanders in from a southwesterly direction\\nand empties into the basin below the Straight Cut.\\nBy means of this Straight Cut Milwaukee has been\\nenabled to boast of the most commodious and easily\\naccessible harbor on the upper lakes. It is 260 feet\\nwide, protected by substantial piers built at an ex-\\npense of over $150,000. Through this channel sailors\\nmay sail into a wide and land-locked haven formed by\\nthe confluence of the two streams. It will be seen that\\nthis location is most favorable for the purposes of com-\\nmerce.\\nPOPULATION.\\nThe last government census revealed the fact that\\nMilwaukee had a population of nearly 50,000 souls.\\nThis was in 1870. Since then we have exhibited a re-\\nmarkable degree of growth both in wealth and popula-\\ntion, and to-day, we have nearly 100,000 inhabitants\\nTOTAL VOLUME OF BUSINESS.\\nThe report of Secretary Langson, of the Chamber\\nof Commerce, shows an increase in the aggregate\\nvolume of business of the city for the year 1872, as\\ncompared with that of 1871.
