I EDiToH CLARION,
! DEAR SIR Il am pleasc,
10 sec the CLARION taking such an active
inter EFT in all tl''t pertains to the prosper
ity OF The community aud think that chr
citizens generally do not avail themselves
sufficiently oftfc privilege of expressing
their views through the columns 81 your
rand. as beFevc that once discussion
Cd1id ishe pace in regard to any object &
+ gcncral interest, it Ugh, lead 20 import
ant results. l"ur strges,ion based up III
the success atle!!ling the Building Assoc
alion, and your Deductions tAcrefrom are
timely and Pertinent, and should be care
fully pondercA by 'eve.y pubic spirited
citizen. Several facts should, however, be
considered "a cbnnectitn with any project
llnt will require a larPc amount ot'cnpi-
til. The money required would probably

suited to The financial ability of the mem
beers thereof, and consequently, many o.
our citizens who have the .hclination ab
well as the ability to enter the B. \ may

when, if that amount were to be paid in
one sum he wonld fail It is II well known
fact that We have not a surplus OF capital
in our midst, and that a large portion OF
the money for any enterprise must come
from men who have ve;y little if any sur.
plus, and at the expense Of 2 great deal Of
self denial on their part. The question
then arises: Is there any enterprise Of
which we can take hold. by means of which
we can establish credit Of stpch charac.
ter, that the stock can be paid up on the
instalnent plan in such manner as viii
meet TIC limited means Of II portion Of the
men who will put their shoulders to the
wheel? II that can be accomplished, | have
no doubt of its complete success. | see ny
the last issue Of the CLARION that some
thing is, or will he offered for the benefit
of the community; and hope it may be of
such character AS 10 meet the condition
advocated IN this article. The best way
for US to attract capital to our midst is to
