offer to donate lot to company, or
to persons, who will start IL manufac-

the limits of MilfOrd.a "a gentleman from
Connecticut writes us and asks, chow
much capital stock can 6e raised in this
section to start such manufacturing
on large scale, aud if the town ex-
empts such business from town and
school taxes, and for how lOng?" In
regards to the capital, there is no lack
OF that; but the question is, chow may
il be induced to place itself in man
ufacturing enterprise ?' This would
depend on the nature of the business.
In exempting from taxation, the town
has not took any action; but there is
no doubt that this small inducement
would not be withheld. We would
suggest that the Council put itself on
record favOring this matter, and unless
we wish to hedge ourselves i'll, offer
through the medium of the press to
manufacturers in the North, the good
will and facilities that Delaware
affords.

have found that the farther North the
