The work Of building new Touring mill

Speaking last night TO gentleman who
| has been in times past identified with the
| material interests OF Bellaire and who now
| does his very fair share In encouraging
them, he remarked, Il notice that we are
| about to lose two OF our most valuable
| manufacturers. refer TO NJ. Sheets and
w. X. Elson, of the Belmont Glass Works.
| These men are among the best men in this
| line of business in the Ohio valley, and
no city can lose such men without
| being poorer and very sensibly feeling such
loss. There is TO me but one inference
from this circumstance and that is, unless
men OF more blood and energy take charge
| OF things here, We will retrograde, and that
| rapidly. Our progress fQr decade was
| phenomenal. Factories mi workshops
sprang up like fairy's house. Esch sue
| ceeding year saw something Of substan.
tial nature started and successfully carried
| out here and our progress was the
subject OF remark all over the coun.
try. Whatever OF eligible property
| to build on. however, has been taken,
and now things have changed. Eligible
sites are scarce, or rather they are worse
| than scarce. They are in the hands OF
! few men, and very few, who are carrying
on a sort Of dog in the manger policy,
which is initiating against our interests
| frightfully. At one time in my opinion
1 there would have been no difficulty what.
| ever in securing the location Of what is
now the Standard mill at this point,
but the question Of location arose
and receiving no encouragement, Mar
tins Ferry raked II In as
she is now doing several other factories
that could have been brought here u the
proper inducements had been extended. |
don't like to say anything derogatory Of
my neighbors, but one or two funerals in
this section might possibly benefit Bellairc
smazingly. Her resources properly manip..
ulated are infinite, and with an infusion OF
new blood, proper local pride, the demo
| lition OF some fogyish ideas, better sanitary
regulations, she will most certainly be the
city Of Southern Ohio, only inferior TO
Cincinnati"
