by our citizens to pay the cost of re-
moval and instalment. This mill has
capacity of 100000 shingles per day,
and its operation would give steady
employment to at least 60 men. The
mill has already several large con-
tracts to fill, and will begin with a
business already established. A meet

tee was appointed to unite popular
sentiment upon the matter of aid.

quired amount, about ST. 500, can be
raised.
