The Changes at the National Rubber
Company's Mills.
The Town Councils Regular Meeting
Of Yesterday-The Water to BE Shut
or Saturday and Sunday.

The usual time OF moving is supposed
TO be the first of May but the management
OF the National India Rubber Company
has the start of the movers by about two
months. The changes made in the
internal arrangement OF the
mill are quite marked, and
evidently made with view not only
to the quick transaction OF business, but
with desire to bring together the differ
ent departments, thereby making large
saving in the cost OF production. The
ideas that entered into and ledto this move
have been in contemplation for some time.
The boot, shoe and gaiter departments
are already removed to the large
three story brick building and will
occupy the entire second story
as tmake-up rooms. The packing and
washing department of the clothing room
which formerly occupied part OF the
second story of the north building are now
moved and occupy part OF the old gaiter
room. The fancy goods department
of the same room, II more
space is needed for the two above depart
ments part Of the old cutting room has
been made re ady for use. Possibly at
some future time the boot, shoe and gaiter
departments will occupy wholly the large
3-story building and the one adjoining,
having its own power, calenders, etc., and
entirely independent OF and separate from
the main building where clothing. hose,
belts and fancy goods, etc., will be manu-
factured. These changes will make as
convenient, complete and as good rub
ber factory as there is in the country. The
wisdom of the making OF these changes
and moves suggested by Mr.. Philip
II. Coyle, the manger OF the Ma
tional India Rubber Company Is
apparent to every one acquainted
,,,;th tha ;pternoI arra pgen,ent of the
mill and the far reaching results both
economic and pecuniary must be such as
to commend the whole move and its in
ception to the great company OF which the
National is part. The manufactured
stock will be quicker and easier easier
the cutting to the makeup
department will be without trouble
or delay. The necessity OF an overseer
for each department will be obviated and
quite an item of expense in that direction
will be saved. Mr.. Terance McCarty, the
superintendent of the boot and shoe de-
partment, has had the general supervision
OF the above changes, and has carried
them out i'm most complete and salts
factory manner. These alterations and
removals and advantages gained by the
removal of the Para room, so called, from
its building in the rear OF the yard to the
main building, will not only concentrate
the departments and make them more
compact for the transaction OF business,
but will give simplicity in all the details
and quick dispatch in the accomplishment
OF the end sought, besides reducing
the amount OF time and labor
i'm manufacture, thus bringing the Ma
tional Company where il can take ad-
vantage OF it's situation and do its work as
well and as cheaply and in every way hold
it's own with any other mill OF the United
States Rubber Company.
