The town coun- cils of Goderich, Blyth and .Clinton were approached and asked to send delegates to Smith's Hill, where a large meeting of farmers and .repre- sentatives from Goderich, Clinton and Blyth assembled; it was finally decid- ed to hold a meeting. at. Clinton in April; at this meeting the Blyth rep- resentatives dropped`out. It was de- cided to go ahead and form a joint stock company with a capital stock of $150000 divided into shares of $20 each, The town cannon, desirous of securing further industries for the town, guaranteed to print the prospec- tus and guarantee the expenses of se- curing $20.000 worth of stock, prov- ided the said expense did not exceed $200. A committee' from town was appointed to get up the prospectus andthese were sent broadcast over the county. Canvassers were then put on the road. 'Considerable suc- cess attended their early efforts. At a meeting in November, 1901, it was found .that one canvasser alone had secured $3000 •in small subscrip- tions of $20 each; this was thought to be encouraging.
