WArEKvnLE, Jan. s,-(Special. The
committee chosen to examine the water
power at Crummett's Mills, with & view to
establishing a woolen mill, were on the
Arnold of this city and Mr. Snow of Pitts
field, the engineer in charge, of the Dobson
mill. Mr.. Snow was very favorably i'm
pressed with the situation and the water
power. He considered the power more
than ample for running lo-set mill with
the dam and wheel in ITS present position.
With flash boards and Il lower wheel the
horse power would be increased from 100 To
$50 without difficulty. Mr.. j. c. Evans
one of the committee and a practical
WOODEN manufacturer of long experience.
said that the present buildings couli be
utilized to advantage in starting tie busi-
ness.
The sash and blind factory can be used
with very little alteration and addition The
property is now practically owned by one
party and there is abundance of room for
for the extension of the proposed plant at
any time. The committee who will report
at the board of trade meeting on THURSDAY
evening are al follows:
NJ G.. Foster. Horace Puriugton, j. G..
Evans, l.. II. Soper AMI Hon. L. c. Libby.
Indications point to "A large gathering of
