NEWARK, Sept. Sou Friday evening an
Important meeting OF the local stockholders
OF the Thsc. o. Kaauff Company was held
in the Grange Hail. The object OF the
meeting was to consider the question OF
increasing the local subscriptions to this
stock. Over year ago when negotiations
looking TO the inducemsnt OF tnis company
to locate here were In progress between the
company aud the citizens OF the town
through the local board Of trade It was de-
manded by the KnauR Company and agreed
to by the citizens through its regularly ap-
pointed committees that elk acres Of
choice land shonld be donated to
the company, that II should be eX-
empted from local taxation for 10 years,
that 1t should have full town fire protection
without cost, tnat certain streets should be
opened and that the citizens should sub
scribe to $4,000 worth OF stock or 500
shares OF same at $50 per share. In turn
the company made certain agreements and
obligations, all OF which were regularly
drawn up In legal Yhraseology and duly
signed by the par les OF the first and second
part. To this covenant were signed the
names OF John PlllinR, DR.. A, N. Raub and
Theodore r. Armstrong, the authorized
committee OF the town people, who thus
became personally responsible and Just
here comes the rub. Under the stress and
enthusiasm OF the days OF Nowark's boom
when everything wore the most roseate
hue, the subscription list rapidly filled
up to almost the required amount. Since
this q "dull monotony" has rolled
around again nd u number OF subscribers
to small blocks OF stock have found them
selves unable to meet their obligations and
so there ls deficiency OF about S4,5n0,
which amount the company politely but
firmly demands from the committee which
signei the contract. When this became
known meeting was at once called. Much
surprise was shown when the amount OF
tho deficiency was made known and the
meeting AZ once selected committee con-
