EyERErr, Feb. 12-ESpecial. l-Another
largely attended meeting Was held in
Rudebeck's hall last night to discuss the
question of incorporation. w. de +. Ed
wards was called to the chair. Ex-Gov.
Church was called upon for remarks, and
briefly stated that in the hasty prepare
ton Of the first petition for incorporation
drawn up at the impromptu meeting held
some ten days ago the boundaries had
failed to include the harbor. This was
briefly discussed at the time, but it was
thought impracticable owing to the adj
miralty Jurisdiction. Subsequent consid-
Grafton, however, had led to a determine
ton to draft new petition to include the
harbor. He submitted this for the consid-
Grafton of the meeting.
Mr.. Brownell. on behalf OF the Everett
Land Company, presented their reasons
for desiring the limits restricted SO as to
exclude the large manufacturing plants
and relieve them from the burdens OF mu-
nicipal taxation. The company wanted
the paper mil, the barge works and smelter.
the nail works and that portion Of the tide
fats lying north of the line of section
10 omitted from the limits. He en-
larged upon the wisdom of SO doing to
encourage the upbuilding of great man
ufacturing city. The proposed limits
would include thirty-one square miles. an
area greater than many OF the prominent
cities of the country.
Judge Delaney. Mr.. Black, Col. Eddy
followed in remarks favoring the limits as
proposed, and protested against any dis
elimination in favor of any special class.
Ex-Gov. Church called attention to the
necessity of the proposed limits to secure
proper police and quarantine regulations.
Mr.. Murphy advocated a more careful
consideration Of the subject from the busi-
ness standpoint. and suggested refer
ence of the matter to a committee of nine.
Another speaker characterized the pro-
posed scheme as mere town-lot PROPOSE
ton, so that all could be included in the
limits.
The petition was finally approved and q
committee appointed to give the subject
further consideration before its final pre-
sentation to the county commissioners.

at Everett will be an accomplished fact
some time during March or April.
