THEY Ask ENOUGH.
Alleged Proposition Of Bath Iron Works 10
Locate At New London, Ct. .

New LONDON, Ct., March l9.-It is said
here, tonight, that the Bath Iron Works
Company has made proposition to some
works in New London. The report cannot
be verified. The proposition is said to be
that the Bath Iron Company be paid $780,
pany for loss sustained by the sac
rifice of its - real estate, buildings,
etc., at Bath and cover the cost Of moving
the plant to New London, and it 10 also
asked that Sl50,000 bonds be disposed of
here: the land above Thames river bridge
rendered by the New London Northern
Railroad Co., be provided for the Bath
company, and filled in at the actual cost of
filing to the company. To do the filing
would cost, it is believed, about $25, 1000.
The Bath Company asks the city to sell
them the park property along the river
front, near the proposed site of the works,
for what was paid for it few months ago.
E. p. Beckwith's land, adjoining the rail-
road's is asked for without cost to the Iron
Works Company.
A low water rate i, sought and guaran-
tee Of nominal tax rate for term of years,
the Bath Iron Works, in return for these
concessions, to establish its plant here at .
cost of about 100000.
The dry dock plant. which it has been
said the company would insist upon, 10 not
understood to have been made part Of the
proposition, but a separate company 10 to
formed to construct and operate that plant
If dock is ever built
Ex-Governor Waller had an interview
with Gen. Hyde of the Bath Iron Works
recently in New York, and it is understood
that the Ex-Governor did not take . very
hopeful view of the iron works being To-
Gated here, when he returned. He could
not be found this evening.

stick of wood or lump of coal you give
