The Belfast Board of Trade.

A BICYCLE FACTORY AND COTTON MILL IN
VIEW. THE HOTEL MATTER DEFERRED.
The Board of Trade met at Memorial
building Monday evening, by adjournment,
Vice President James H. Howes presiding.
Sixteen new members were voted in.
b. F. Hanson, of the committee on new in
dustries, reported that the committee has
held two meetings at which ways and means
have been discussed. He is in correspond
ence, for the committee, with the Keating
Wheel Co. of Holyoke, Mass. The company
write that they employ 1000 hands, nearly
all skilled workmen, and require 100000
square feet Of floor space and an engine of
25O horse power. They inquire if there is
such building here, or land which they can
buy on which the people here will erect a
suitable building to be bought on easy terms
giving the dimensions of the Dana buildinr
which can easily be enlarged to the required
capacity. The boilers in the building are of
100 horse power capacity, and others could
be easily added to make up the required
power. A larger engine will be necessary
Mr. Hanson thinks it will be easier to raise
the funds necessary to bring large concern
here than smaller one, as our people will
take more interest in the matter.
Mr.. Hanson also reported that he is in
communication with cotton manufacturer
who had agreed to meet him in this CITY
Tuesday forenoon for consultation in regard
to establishing factory of 800 looms in this
nit F,ar ,,F ~

Charles Baker of the hotel committee
stated that he was unable to make a report
at this meeting, but would be able at the
next meeting to offer definite plan by
which the Crosby Inn can be rebuilt, sub
stantially as before, and pay its promoters
at least per cent on the cost. He asked
for further time, which was granted.
The committee have also been making es-
Inmates in regard to the Windsor House and
other sites. Nothing new was learned in re-
latlon to the Windsor House, but builders
are making plans and estimates of the cost
of making the alterations spoken of last
week. Another lot which is favorablv talked
of is at the corner of High and Miller streets,
now owned and occupied by VIM. R. Ford
The lot is 80 feet square, and plan has been
drawn which will give good commodious
hotel for the general business travel. The
committee did not report these sites at the
meeting, but intend to do so later
The meeting then adjourned to Monday.
