DYNAMITE WORKS NOT IN FAVOR.
Many Of the leading citizens OF Nyack met last
night to protest against establishing the Clinton
Dynamite Works at this place. S. r. Bradley pre-
sided. II was decided 10 secure all the signatures
possible from the citizens of the three Nyacks to
protest against the bringing of the industry TO this
place. A committee of three appointed for that
purpose and instructed TO circulate protest notices
as widely as possible. At meeting OF citizens held
some time ago In Upper Nyack 1t was decided to
offer to reimburse Mr.. Foss for all his expenditures In
preparing the ground for his plant making roads etc.
with per cent interest up 10 the day OF payment
This meant an expenditure of ~ 500 from the pockets
Of private citizens Mr.. FOss refused TO consider the
offer and has demanded $4,000. This proposition
the citizens decline 10 accept, and last night 1t was
resolved to renew the first proposition made TO Mr..
Foss II he does not accept and thus throwc down
the gauntlet il is quite certain that the people OF all
three villages will exhaust every legitimate means
TO prevent the establishing Of the dynamite plant
within their boundaries. Another meeting viii be
held tonight.
