The Rockland Gazette says the plan proposed
| by Mr.. Case at the meeting of the manufacture
ers of lime in Rockland, ThomastOn and Rock
| port is that all the lime-manufacturers in the
three towns shall unite in choosing Board of
seven Trustees, to represent and act for them,
one of these Trustees to be taken from Rock
port, one from Thomaston, three from the Cobb
Lime Company, and two from the manufactur-
ers in this city, outside of that corporation -
Each manufacturer is to do his own business
and use his own capital as now, but all lime
manufactured is to be sold to the Trustees, at a
uniform and equitable price for similar quail
ties, and not to exceed the actual cost of manu-
facture, In computing the cost Of manufac-
ture, kiln-rent is not to be reckened, but mate-
rial and labor only. The lime is to be controll-
ed, put upon the market and sold by the Trus-
tees for the joint benefit of the manufacturers.
At the end of the year the Trustees are to de-
clare dividend of the profits realized from the
sales of lime, to be paid to the manufacturers,
in proportion to the number Of casks manufac-
tured and delivered to the Trustees by each. K
