SITES FOR FACTORIES.
Two PubIic-Spirited Citizens Make
Definite Offers.
There WIN Be No Difficulty in the
Matter OF Securing Land and
Cheap Power.

The matter of Offering inducements
70 manufacturers to establish factories
here is assuming practical shape, at least
SO far as land sites are concerned.
As regards other inducements-sEc as
the advisability of offering of cash bo-
nuses-there is as yet considerable differ
ence of opinion, as was demonstrated at
the meeting of the committee on Thurs
day evening. It is not surprising that
thls should be so. as men require some
little time to thoroughly study matter
OF that kind. If the members of the
committee cannot agree at first on the
question of rendering a cash bonus to
each manufacturing firm or company
that will locate here, they should not be-
come discouraged. They are all desirous
of accomplishing something practical,
and by frequent consultation and discus
sion Will no doubt soon arrive at solu
ton OF the problem that confronts them.
But in the matter OF factory sites a step
In the right direction has already been
made. Two enterprising citizens yester-
day rendered to G. y. Luhrs, Chairman
OF the Committee, ample sites for num-
Der of factories. And now that start
mas been made 1t is only reasonable to
expect other land owners to step in and
make definite offers of the same kind.
The donation of sites and the guaran-
tee OF cheap motive power made by
Messrs. Llvermore and Gallatin of the
Sacramento Electric Light and Power
Company must be regarded as an excel
lent beginning, and in some cases might
be in themselves sufficient inducements
TO manufacturers to locate here. The
oilers of sites are as follows:
