about one mile from this village on the
Berlin side of the WinoosLi, as the most
suitable location. The electric light works
there have, from both steam and water,
fully 700 horse power, of which they use
very little during the day time when the
nail factory would be in operation, and can
spare from the water fully $50 horse power
if desired, although the nail works call for
100 only. Horace Fied and Clark
Holden, a committee from Barre met
Treasurer A. G. Duysters at the Pa
vilion, Friday forenoon, and set forth
large inducements for the works to locate
at Barre. f.. II. Bascom and Mr..
Duysters started on the Friday noon

ducements offered il the works would go

About 20 business men assembled at the
Pavilion on the evening of the 9Th and dis
cussed the matter of locating the Bryant nail
works, recently burned out at Lynn, Mass,
in this village, a. &. Dayster, treasurer
of that company, was present from Boston,
and explained what the firm would require
from our citizens. The principal points
discussed seemed to be the disposing of
$40, 900 worth of stock, sufficient power to
run their machinery and freight rates If
they run by steam power it would be cheap
er to locate in Massachusetts, on account of
prices of coal and shipping same, but if
Montpelier could supply sufficient water
power, it might be the right place. They
could begin with from 30 to 40 horse power
but would want the privilege Of increasing
| to 100, and some thought we could not spare
that much from the Berlin water works,
while others thought we could After con-
siderable discussion +. L. Eaton, T. j.
Dewitt and d. G. Kemp were appointed
committee to investi gate the various mat
tiers. Mr. Dayster and +. II. Bascom went
to St. Adams Thursday morning to talk
freight rates 1t is thought that the stock
can be easily disposed of if other arrange
ments are made satisfactory.
