HuRhesdale will not afford the site for
the Ramie Manufacturing Company. The
board of directors 30 decided yesterday at
their meeting In New York city, and
Cranston Print Works has been chosen in
stead.
Here there are buildings already erected
that will afford sufficient room for the
plant and can be fitted at q small outlay.
There are also tenements OF substantial
build to accommodate the help. Besides,
the railroad facilities are good at this
point and the expense of carriage Will he
materially iessened by locating here.
ROUGH AND READY FIREMEN.
At the regular meeting OF the Rough
and Ready Fire Company, in August, IT
was voted to. attend the tiremen's muster
at the Kent County Fair, September o.
Since that time several attempts to have
q drill have been made with but little sue
cess IL requires at least 90 men TO man
the brakes and get the results out OF the
machine that Is required to compete with
any degree of success for first prize.
The machine is In the very best condi-
tion possible, but at the drills thus far
not more than 20 men have attended TO
practice. While some 35 have signitied
their intention OF going TO Phenix on
muster day, 1t Is not enough TO warrant
taking the machine there. The officers OF
the company feel that they are not receiv-
efforts they are willing to make to create
an interest and have the whole member
ship which numbers nearly a hundred
enjoy an outing and bring home first
prize, that they believe the Nameaug Is
capable of taking II she is properly
manned.
A special meeting has been called for
this evening to consider the matter of at
tendance at the muster, Friday, and un-
less 1t is assured that sufficient men will
pledge themselves TO attend II Is prob
that the Rough and Readys will not go to
Kent county with their hand engine this
year.
