TOWN COUNCIL
!Another special meeting of the
town council was held in the council
chamber, on Tuesday evening, all
memibe'rs present. This meeting had
been arranged for Friday night but
was postponed, Mayor Sutherland wais
in the chair,
The purpose of the meeting was to
meet Mr. Bo.gden of ,Kitch.ener, in re-
gard to •the Canada Furniture factory.
The Mayor reported receiving a tele-
phone message at 5.30 Tuesday even
ing front .a C.:F,M, representative that
the company had withdrawn their
offer to turn the factory over to the
town for the taxes owing, pins $500,
agreed upon in May; pressed .to name
a new sunt, the rep'res'entative had not
!been able to say, but thought $2,1500.
;(The original offer was for $2,000, ap-
proximately). Upon strc'h ,slhort notice
the council was not in a position to
cls buiness with anyone else, until
platters were ad!jursted with the C.F.
M. However, the situation was re-
viewed and the Kitchener man out-
lined his proposition, Apparently he,
,too, had altered his proposals some-
what since meeting the councbl last
week, intimating that a loan from the
town for $10,000 or '$115,0100 would be
req•uii•ed to get .the factory started; he
claimed they could not get a !bank
loan on the building as they would
not have a clear tlease. He estimated
it would ,take $5,000 to get the plant
started, a 'like sum for stock 'anal $5,-
000 :for working capital.
"Our factory is an operating plant;
if we could clear nut there we would
not need a loan," he <aid, telling the
council their present ;ease did not ex-
pire for two years.
This fire has operated for nine
years, greatly expanding their busi-
ness, and intend to also go into uphol-
stery, chesterfield business, starting
with frames, also chairs, bedroom and
kitchen, novelties; a'1 contract work.
The earliest time they could =tart
would be New Years.
Reeve Crosier thought the town
Would he tet ling to give them the
building it 20 or ail Wren were employ-
ed, but q teswaed if it were worth a
loan.
Mayor Sutherland and Councillor
L. Eber'har•t were doubtful about a
lean,
•Llis firm would not consider coming
without a loan from the town, the
representative said, is aiming that the
tnrvn would be benefitted by the ent-
doyntent of -1 or 50 meta witha pay-
roll
ay-rill of $30,000 annually.
Councillor 1,. Eberhart:"What se-
curity that he would operate after he
got $16,000 lan?'
Clerk ). A. Wilson: "Same as on
the mill." .
Councillor Eberhartt "That is 'totti-
ng,"
The Mayor suggested that the firm
present their proposition in writing at
next Monday night's meeting of
conned; in the meantime the town
could get in touch with the 'C.F.M.
`Councillor Hudson ,thought the loan
should be given a trial; Conurcillar
Broderick objected because of the ex-
pense of a vote. The representative
said the vote could be taken at the
municipal election at New Year's, as
there was no hurry,
Mayor 1S•utherland: "Will you give
security on your plant in Kitchener?
It would be easier if you could get
along with $10,000."
'Councillor Broderick broached the
subject of getting atter the C.F.M. for
tax arrears if they go back on their
bargain;,
The Mayor said unless the council
were all in favor, there would be no
use going half-heartedly to the people.
Reeve Crosier thought the proposed
deal should ,be explained to the rate-
payers at a meeting.
The representative thought the sen-
ior partners world probably be inclin-
ed to give Kitchener and ;Seaforth
plants as security.
There had been mention at the pre-
liminary meeting last week of selling
shares locally.
(Discussion then turned to Avon
Chests taxes owing. Chairman of fin-
ance committee 'Hudson gave .a brief
report; there was prospect of a buyer,
he said.
Janes V. Ryan, who 'had been sent
by 'the finance committee to collect
the business tax of $100 from the melw
flour and feed store, reported that the
sum was promised to be forthcoming
before the store opens.
The Mayor reported that :Mr. Da-
vis is cleaning the water out of the
it at the ,flour mull. ,Prevention of ramal
