The Legislative committee of the Fed
Grafton OF Labor has written the follow

free library bill:
Editor Times: Mr.. Powers OF Vermont,
WHEN he characterized as IA lobby push

general enough to start the enterprise.

thus pcrfecting their education. Many
workingmcn feel that they might have he

advantages furnished by a Tree library.
The fact that the workingnen OF Wash

cities affords strong argument to sup

other advantages of the whc!ess lamp. it
is reasonable to suppose that not only
will this number be increased, but that
many Of the old expensive lamps will be
replaced by those of the Wbeess patent.
The following modest estimate is wGrthy
the careful consideration of investors:
IL 1t be calculated that 10000 OF these
lamps will be sold a year, which is 10
per cent of the annual increase for the past
four years, or at the ratio OF one new
lamp to 100 OF those now installed, the
stockholders would realize a net profit of
100000 per annum, equivalent to a divi-
dend of 20 per cent on the entire capital
stock of the company, or 40 per cent to
purchasers of founders shares at $50
each, at which sum Il limited number of
shares can be secured.
1t is easy to see that the above is a
very low estimate of the probable sales,
and with Judicious mana cement it should
be greatly exceeded. With the enormous
savings showu weshouId reasonably expect
to practically control the business.
A bona fide proposition is here submit
ted embodying actual results. and afford
ing an exceptional opportunity for invest
ment.
