Steady Employment at the National
Rubber Works Is Assured.

The outlook for steady employment al
| the National India Rubber works was
never more promising than at the present
time. Manager Philip ii. Coyle Informed
| The NEWS representative that they were
afraid to put their new patterns of tennis
on the market, as they would not be able
| to fill orders. These new styles OF foot wear
were there their own designs, and surpass
anything yet placed upon the market
Mr.. John Il. Herreshoff president of the
Herreshof Manufacturing Company, is
authority for saying that these patterns
are far superior to any yet introduced,
and placed large order with
the company to be filed when convenient
The manager saws the great trouble is In
getting help and that he will guarantee to
give steady employment TO 500 females
with all the work they can
do. Posters have been put in conspicous
places and as soon as the new machinery
can be set in motion the pay roll will
exceed 2000 hands and there will be no
necessity for idleness IL work is desired
Under the present management this inn
mense institution has taken the first place
as rubber mandatory In this country.

The water committee met on Tuesday
evening in Memorial building for the
purpose of taking action and making
necessary arrangements preparatory to
the purchase Of the water works
plant from its present owners, George III.
Norman and others. Mr.. Wilbur, C hartman,
informed the committee that he had
made the necessary arrangements with
Messrs. Gardner and Comstock to attend
to the legal duties required and they had
accepted. He also presented a draft OF an
act to the Legislature to be acted upon
granting the town the rig hit to issue bonds
for the purchase of the water works.
Many suggestions were made by the vari-
rious members OF the committee in re-
gard to the plans to be taken, and moth.
ing definite was done. Mr.. Norman on
the uhy OF the meeting was In town and
talked upon the matter as lightly as II
the purchase wss an ordinary transac-
ton, but the inference drawn is that the
several amounts named for the pur-
chase OF the plant by the committee will
not meet the expectations OF the owners,
although these amounts are simply the
ideas OF various members OF the COM
mittee. The arbitrators are the parties
who will place the value upon the plant.
