('Ant.iNo. Reeve Bobier called a meeting of th ratepayers at the Town Hall on Tue day evening last to hear a propositio from Messrs. Connor Bros. A fair attendance was present and consider- able enthusiasm was Manifest, The Reeve opened the meeting by explaining the proposition of Connor Bros., which is, in it few words, a pro- posal to build and equip with machin- ery a $10,000 business in return for a grant of $500 toward the purchasing of a site and a fixed assessment of $500 a year for 10 years (except for scboo t ). Mr. Dickson was then called upon. He ax spoke of the new gasolene engine Connor Bros. have invented, the pat- ents they held for other machinery, etc. The firm was a responsible one, their word as good as their bond, and their work high-class. Exeter could not afford to lose then:. They had been approached to leave town, but would rather remain here. They would form a joint stock company and work up a bush:ee l that in a few years would employ at least 25 hands. They would start with from 0 to 10. Mr. Dickson gave a synopsis of the agree- ment that would be signed. Other speakers were H. Spackman, W. H. Levett, J. A. Stewart, T. H. McCallum, W. (i. Bissett and T. B. Carling. Mr. Connor was called upon and be gave a. sketch of the proposed enlarge- ment. $0,000 would he necessary to buy the machinery. The value of pat- ents was not included in the $10,000. They are not able to fill their orders now. If the by-law passed they would build in the spring. On motion of %V. H. Levett and C. H. Sanders the meeting unanimously decided to ask the Council to submit a by-law along the lines mentioned at the same time of submitting the Gibbs By-law. It is a pleasure to note the general feeling among the citizens of Exeter that all should aid in pushing the town ahead. We are on the upward move and everybody seems anxious to help it along.
