CHEERFUL GIVERS.
How Sacramentans are Subscribing to
the Factory Fund.
Nearly Seventy Responses the First
Day-The Public Evidently
Favor the Plan.

Last Monday the RECORD UNION pub
tished the articles of incorporation and
bylaws of the Sacramento Industrial
Improvement Association, together with
copy of the note which each taxpayer is
to be asked to sign in favor of the asso-
citation for the payment of one-half of
per cent. per year, for four years, on each
dollar of property assessed to him in the
city.
The money received on these notes is to
be used for the purpose of inducing
manufacturers to establish their factories
here, by the payment to them of cash
bonuses; provided, of course, enough
money be obtained to accomplish the de-
sired results. The citizens comprising
the association do not intend to use any of
the money thus derived unless the sum
OF at least 500, 900, or more, be raised, and
II enough should not be subscribed the
notes will be returned to the makers.
The first batch of these notes was sent
out on Tuesday night, through the mail,
and they were received yesterday morn
ing. Five hours thereafter forty seven of
these notes had come back to the asSocia-
ton with the signatures of responsible
citizens and firms affixed thereto, and
during the afternoon nineteen more were
received, making sixty-siX in all, for the
first day only.
Sacramentans are cheerful givers, de-
spite what the city's traducers may say.
and it is safe to assert that quicker or
heartler response was never made by any
people for a like purpose.
There are now out !, 500 of these notes,
and it will be an interesting object lesson
for Sacramento's enemies to watch the
local newspapers and note the returns as
they come in daily. Undoubtedly the
association has hit upon the correct plan
Tor raising the desired fund.- and IL is
quiet evident the public think so from
the promptness with which so many have
responded TO the call.
With the cash bonuses which it is pro-
posed to give factories, the free sites and
the very great reduction in the cost of
motive power guaranteed by the Electric
Light and Power Company, to say
nothing OF the unequaled shipping and
distributing advantages enjoyed by Sac
ramento, there seems to be no reason TO
doubt that in the very near future the
population of this city will be augmented
by several thousand, as the result alone
OF the establishment of these factories.
But Sacramento is not going to stop at
this. The people appear determined to
have better water supply, a modern
hotel that would be credit to any city,
better business streets and an improved
sewerage system. These are all on the
programme, are all feasible, and will all
be accomplished in short time.
