THE FO NDRY BY-LAW.
A question o very much importance
to the Town of Ingham will be settled
by the ratepa rs on Friday of this
week. The We tern Foundry Co. is in
the position 'of eing unable to meet
the heavy dema ds for the products of
the foundry in the way of Stoves,
ranges and furn ces and in order to
keep pace with the increased business
the company is fore to 'enlarge their
premises so as to e able to employ
more workmen. T e company asks
for encouragement from the town
and in order tha the ratepayers
may clearly unde stand the mat-
ter before easting their ballots we
again give the poin in the agreement
between the Town and the Western
Foundry Co:—
The Town is to g've $750 fer the pur-
chase of a new sit ; loan $10,000 for
ten years without nterest; gives the
company exemptio from taxation for
ten years, except f r school and county
rates and fixes the assessment for ten
yeare at $15,000.
In return for th se favors the Wes-
tern Foundry Co. agrees to purchase
a new site of not ess than four acres
within the corpor tion; to erect build-
ings and install miichinery to the value
of P0,000; repay file loan POO per year
for nine years and the balance at the
end of the term; to employ at least 150
workmen the fiifst year and not less
than 200 men thetsecond and following
years; time she 'ts to be assessed if
workmen are ot up to the number
specified in the greement. The town
to have as seeur ty a first rnertgage on
the new plant.
To the writer' mind this is an extel-
lent proposition or the Town and one
our ratepayers s °led heartily support.
Wingham needs all her present in-
dustries and ap the neW ones that
can be induced to locate in the Town.
In this case we are dealing with a com-
pany that has ade good, one that has
paid out a large um of money in wages,
which in turn ha been a benefit to every
business man a property owner in the
Ttlwonoking at

the Town stands to

by-law. The tiital Ott to the town in
the way of inthrest on debentures to
provide for theiloan and $750 for the
site trill te years amount to $4,-
328.50. In ret rn the town will receive
