IN SEA tatirris'a INTERESTS, ---In complia#ce
with a numerously signed re uisition, a
public meeting of the ratepaye b vvas held
in the town hall on Wednesd y evening.
The object of the Meeting was to discuris
and, if possible devise ineans whereby the
languishing industrial intereste df our, town
may be revived.1 We revieveed this matter
thoroughly a couple of weeks ago, and it is,
therefore, unneeeesary to enter into details
here. The large and representative gather-
ing showed that the ratepayers have become
alive to the fact that we have reached a
crisis, and that the time is DOW at hand
when we meet take strenuous and prompt
action if we whit' our town to go ahead, or
even to hold its own. The chair was taken
by Mayor Gunn, and in a few words he ex-
plained the object of the 'meeting and
briefly referred to the excellent financial
standing of the town. In pursuance with
the object of the meeting, it was Dioved by
Mr, D. D. Wilson, and secondedbysAlr. W.
K. Pearce, " That it is desirable, in the in-
terests of the residents of the town, that
some steps should be taken to foster and en-
courage induetriee in the town and, if possi-
ble, for that purpose, that aid besgranted by
the town." In speaking to this motion,
Mr, Wilson reviewed the past history .of
the town's industries and the various steps
which have lead up to our present condi-
tion. In the course of his remarks ,he
showed conclusively that the loans given by
t e town in the caae of VanEgmond's
woollen mill and the Broadfoot & BOX COM -
any had been most prefitable investments.
'he expenses, and interest in connection
with the Broadfoot & Box loan had been re-
turned to the town treaeury in taxes in a
sum almost equal to the amount paid as
interest on the debentures issued in
'General servant wanted, no uptairs wor
