The citizens meeting at the Courthouse
last night, called for the purpose of con-
sidering the matter of offering induce
ments to manufactures to locate in or
about this city-a movement, by the way,
that was inaugurated some months ago
was one of the most enthusiastic that has
ever been held in the city. Not since the
people met in mass meeting here thirty
two years ago to devise way and means
for the purchase of the ground that en-
braces Agricultural Park for the purpose
of giving it to the State for a race-track
and show-grounds, had the citizens
shown as deep an interest and as much
enthusiasm in public movement as was
exhibited at last nights meeting.
The courtroom of Department Two of
the Superior Court was not large enough
to accommodate one-half of those who
sought admission.
David Lubin called the meeting to or
der, stated its object, and called for the
election of a Chairman. Mr.. Lubin was
himself called on to preside, and q. b.
katzenstein was chosen Secretary.
The Chair said the first thing in order
nications that had been received, and the
Secretary read the following:
A SHOE FACTORY.
SAN FRANCISCO, March Il, 1898.
lIeSSTS. Lltbiql and OtierS-GENTLEMEN: The
proposition advanced by Mr.. Lubtn TO en-
Courage the building of a factory on an indus
trial tract to be located on the outside lands
of your city has been taken under considera-
tion by our Board of Directors.
AS q general business proposition the mem
bers look at it favorably, but make the point
that regular action cannot be taken thereon
in the absence of specific and definite prOiers
At present we have only the outlines of
your proposition. As general theory the
matter Is worthy of serious consideration,
and we therefore invite from your committee
complete and explicit statement OF the otter
you feel authorized and prepared to make.
You viii understand that we are at pres
cnt situated our plant is fixture, ana the
proposed rehabilitation would entail consid-
cradle loss of time expense, and no small
risk. We cannot be reasonably expected to
incur this in the absence OF some substantial
return-that Offset should be furnished at your
convenience in order that the matter may be
intelligently weighed. Respectfully yours,
UNITED WoRKINGMEN b. AND 5. Co.

DdUid LIbi1l, StcTGncHto-DEAR SIR: l
called at the Office OF the j. j. Ftlster Knitting
20. to-day to ask Mr.. Pfister if he still con-
templated removing his factory to some place
outside of san Francisco, ana TO call his at
tention 10 the opportunities being offered by
Sacramento.
UNFORTUNATELY 1 did not see him for he Is at
present in Montana and will not be back for
two or three weeks. Some time ago he told
me he was contemplating removing his
manufacturing plant to some interior town
where land is less valuable and more space
could be obtained. l am of the opinion that
the above named company would entertain q
favorable proposition from the citizens OF
Sacramento.
Wishing you much success, we remain most
respectfully yours,
CARLsoN-CURRIER Co.,

CUTTING PACKING COMPANY.
SAN FRANCISCO, March Ia, 1898.
d. LubiJ,-DEAR SIR: Yours to hand, con-
tents considered. In your conversation with
the gentleman at office OF Cutting Packing
Company. you led him to infer your people
were ready to give ten acres or more OF land,
of which you had five already secured. and Il
bonus or subsidy of 100000, and on that or a
similar basis the thought then was no doubt
of the company considering it fayorably, even
TO the abandoning their plant in san Fran
cisco and in some other place be named. You
better stick 10 il and secure the best canning
plant in the State. Mr. Cutter and Mr.. Arm
strong win be up TO see you soon, of which YOU
have been already notified. BY the by, Capital
TO san Jose and a way to stop the wild move,
claim that Oakland is the only place worthy
of consideration in such a matter, therefore
everybody must vote against san Jose. that
at some future day Oakland may have the
Capital. san Francisco and Oakland will
fall in and vote against it and the country
Will easily be Influenced TO do likewise DO
you see? and then the matter viii rest. Re
spectfully yours, A. L. HATCH.
