Co.tsinicitAsnu interest is being tak-
en in the. proposition of Thos, Smith,
of (trey, to the Oouuoil of Brussels,
offeriug to erect a two story brick
factory and move his placing mill and
other machinery into it, on condition
that he be exempted from taxes 011
the factory and machinery for It term
of 5 years. Mr. Smith agrees to
erect two dwelling houses upon whicli
and the lots iu connection with the
factory he will pay taxes. We think
the proposition a fair ono and as we
are drawing no revenue from Mr.
Smith's property at present, exempt-
ing his factory would not alter our
rate of taxation. We want all the
industries we can get in Brussels and
as some 8 or 10 hands would be con-
stantly employed, and probably a
larger number as the mill got in run.
Hing order, it would be a valuable ae.
quisition to our town. There has
bean some talk about the site and
the President of the Grey Agricultur-
al Society will endeavor to arrange to
sell the agricultural grounds to Mr.
Smith, in ease the exemption is graut.
ed, and arrangements would then
made by the Society to purchase the
raoe course, for a fair ground. The
people of Brussels should open their
eyes to their own interests and not
miss an opportunity that may never
come again of aiding the corporation.

expected the matter will be carried
before the Supreme Courts.
