BOUND TO SECURE IT.
The Tri.City Efforts in Behalf of
the Gun Factory.
Yesterday Arternoon's Meeting ut the
Cttixens' Improvement Association
Rooms. Representatives TO be Sent
to Washington.

Obedient to the action of the public
meeting Of tri-city citizens held at the
Harper house on Jan. A, at which the
project was fsvorably discussed of estab-
fishing gun factory at the National ar,
senal in which ordnance for seacoast de-
lenses could be manufactured. meeting
of the committee was held at the rooms
of the Citizens Improvement association
yesterday afternoon. Those in attend>
ance we're Messrs. Fred Hass. Phil
Mitchell and W. s. Knowlton, from Rock
Island; Messrs. ]. s. Wylie. George w.
French and B. F. Tillinghast, from Dav-
export, and Mr.. q. A. Ainsworth, of
Moline. Mr.. Mitchell was called to the
chair and Mr.. Wylie was elected secre-
tsry. Then followed an hours discus
sion of the proposed enterprise and the
many interesting facts and figures fur
nished by Col Whittemo.e and hereto-
fore published concerning the gun plant
were reviewed. That such factory was
not only desirable, but q practical neces-
sity, there was unanimity of opinion
expressed. The resources Of the govern
ment at the present time would not turn
out 5000 great guns in sixty years. There
was concord of views TO the effect that
the arsenal at this point has the power.
buildings and other advantages for the
work such as are furnished at no other
arsenal or point. Moreover. the com>
mandant. Col Whittemore, is practically
familiar with all details of gun making
having been in command at Watervliet
arsenal, where such a factory was first
established.
A question discussed was that of WAYS
and means and how to bring the matter
before congress, the secretary OF war and
Gen. Benet. chief of ordnance. 1t was
decided on the motion of Mr.. Ainsworlh
to have each city, through it business
mems association, send representative
to Washington and acauaint the members
of congress with the plan and the great
desirability of carrying it out without loss
of time
On motion of Mr.. Hass a committee
was appointed, composed of w. S.
Knowlton and B. F. Tillinghsst. whose
work is the preparation of pamphlet
giving views of the arsenal. its great wa.
ter power. and the probable cost of gun
plant. This circular of information will
be distributed at Washington and in
other places where it will be thought to
do the most good.
The committee adjourned subject to
the call of the chairman.
