The bill TO Incorporate the Globe I'm
provement Company, whose suggested
similarity to the Addicks bill was com.
mented on in yesterdays letter, was
brought to Dover by q Philadelphia agent
OF the proposed corporation who was
irreverently designated as "his jags in
the plug hat" 'His jags" was inter
viewed. lie didn't know Addicks and
had no connection with him in any way.
CThis statement was corroborated by a
member Of the Addicks lobby.) He
could only explain the similarity of the
bills by presuming that both had been
drawn after one model--a bill introduced
in some previous Pennsylvania legisla-
tnre. His bill was intended to be per-
fecily square and he had nothing to con-
ceal Whatever. II the Legislators thought
IL too vague, why he was per-
fectly willing they should amend it.
He had said so to the committee, and the
committee had already amended the bill
so as to provide that it should not be CON-
strued as granting the power to build
railroads. He added that Delawareans
would be added TO the inoorporators
whose names would be an unimpeaohable
guarantee that the measure was oil right.
The names OF these new incorporat0rs he
did not yet feel at liberty to give. OF
the company proposed TO be chartered be
said: "We own considerable timber land,
chiefly pine, white gum, ash and oak, in
North Carolina, which we wish to develop.
We propose to build large factories and
machine shops Of S,eaford. Then we will
cut this lumber, run il up, by way Of the
Hanticoke river, to 5eaford and there
work il up into barrels, headings, plaques
and other things. We will manufacture,
in our machine shops, our machinery for
making barrels and headings, DO, that
We may need in orr factories. We will
do in our factories much the same kind
OF work that Treat does at Georgetown
but our enterprise will be much bigger
than Treats Then we want the charter
power to charter or buy vessels to tgaus
port our materials, and manufactures
we want the power to make advances Of
money to land owners and others W,
want the right to tring laborers into on
timber lands and workshops and to built
houses for them and so on" The inter
viewed man said he would speak NOR
fully on this project in the near future
