PUBLIC sPIE1T, INDEED.

Sometime ago, aceording.to publish
cd reports in THE WORLD, several
propositions were submitted to the M.
M. NJ. & |. Co.. for the location of new
plants in this city. The Company
agreed to invest stated amounts, pro
vided our citizens would invest the
balance, necessary to secure them.
Still prior to all this an arrangement
was made to locate the Phoenix Lock
Go. here. Everything was reported
safe and satisfactory. Yet there has
been nothing done in the way Of d
solid busiaaass transaction worthy Of
mention. 1t is getting to be d frequent
occurrence for our citizens to be stirred
up, great hub-bub made footing
OF horns and all finally terminating
as did Shakespeare sMuch-a-do About
Nothing
AZ Is a foregone conclusion that some,
OF our people are waiting for gold
mine to turn up, something like the
Oaklahoma boom,) and have special
law passed compelling delinquent tax
payers to mine the appreciatiye stand
by for them, without money and with
ont price. If the Improvement Com
pany intends doing anything further
in the matter, why not do SO at once.
It vas through them that the matter
was submitted to our citizens. They
that set themselves up as a target for
manufacturers to shoot at, who might
desire to locate here. They that made
the first proposition. They that used
the project as capital in their transac-
tions. They that have done all the
blowing and finally, they, that are
allowingt the project to go by the board.
They brought about the matter and
submitted it to our people. Conse-
quently the people are waiting upon
them for further action.
According to present prospects the
Phoenix Lock CO., is about as near
here as the Sugar Beet Industry, the
Common Sense Engine Co., the plane
factory, aud others. If our town,would
now have manufacturers as plentiful
and extensive as the aircastles built by
