on Tuesday, April
on to say whethe or not they are is
favor of the town grautiug aid to the
Walker & Clegg up olsterlug factory !u
the way of a loan , f $10,00u, repayable
in ten years, witho t interest, As has
been stated befor:. in these columus,
Messrs Walker & t legg have to vacate
the premises they e now occupying in
the Canada Furni are Manufacturers'
chair factory by ly 1st of this year.
Besides, they are esirous of enlarging
and extending tl it present building
and plant so as tIncrease its capacity
for the manufactu . of upholstered goods
and mattresses. The agreement with
tete town, in con Aeration of the loan,
calls for the ere ion of a new brick
buildiug 110 feet b• 45 feet, three storeys
high; a brick engie and boiler house 40
feet by 30 feet, and brick kiln 50 feet by
30 feet, one store high; and for the
employment iu an about their manu-
facturing establish • out for at least ten
mouths in each ear, beginning with
July the 1st, 1904, s•venty workmen, of
whom at least fifty hall be skilled work•
even, and thirty sh • ll be householders,
and all such workm u shall be residents
of the town.
The town will hol a mortgage on the
premises to be erecte 1,,together with the
plant, machinery, et.., used by the firm,
the said premises t« be insured by the
r -
firm for the sum of $ 0,000, and the poli-
cies
t
cies assigned to the orporation. For
the purpose of more •onveniently ensur-
ing; the performance 'y Messrs. Walker
& Clegg of their agre ment in regard to
the employment of • en, it has been
agreed that the wort age should be ex-
pressed to be redeem ble on payment of
r
fourteen thousand to lars, without inter-
est, in ten antwual i stalntents, of nine
hundred dollars each and the balance of
five thousand (10115 s at the end of
ten years; the and 1 payments, how-
ever, to be liable to be reduced by 5510
`per head for each •an employed over
• thirty aud up to leve ty, so that if the
! firm employs the fol seventy workmen
the anneal re -payment on account of
loan will be five hull red dollars.
It must be acknow edged that the pro-
position appears robe at once a reasonable
and profitable one f.r the town. The
amount to be raised nnually by reason
of the loan will p' tbably increase the
rate of taxation by n average of about
one mill in the do lar, but when it is
considered that in eturu for this the
town will retain a v luable manufactur-
ing establishment, nrd one whose busi-
ness is constantly i creasing, the advan-
tage can easily be s en. It would be a
distinct loss to the town, indeed, if the
proprietors of the pholsterina factory
were compelled t remove their plant
elsewhere, where l,ducements might be
offered thein. W nehaut e a:t ill-n:F..rri
