here. In fact we seem to have over

past stores have become vacant and

public buildings which are 4 credit 70
the city and as fine a business street
as there is in the country IN city of
this size, but, without additional in
d,rstrics we canr1t keep UP what we
have already got. In 1882 the expert
mcnt was tried Of fxing the valuation
of the Edwards Company, which then
bought out the spfague property and
promised TO build new mills ard de-
yclop thai property and 1t was sue
cess. They were not tramp concern.
but pursued the course now proposed
'r-to get local capitalists to invest with
them and make II a local affair; to
thoroughly identify it with the interests
Of this city. We must compete with
tramp shce factories in various towns
in this State which have practically no.
only exempted them from taxation. but
have built them in their corporate
capacity, putting In money and the
citizens contributing, and practically
giving them their rent. Such concerns
come down with practically nothing,
use what is given them and get out
when their gratuitous lease expires. IT
was the applications Of such concerns
that Colonel Bangs rejected when pres
ident of the board of trade. Here is a
concern which is willing to put in|
money and build factory not asking
US to build anything for them nor to
give them anything, except to case up|
on them In the matter of taxes. 1t Is.
he said, indeed, surprising that Presi-
dent Hichborn has been able to get
them. with the competition that exists
among Maine towns. There is a reason
for this competition. These Massachu-
setts investors are taxed to the full
value Of their stock in Massachusetts,
on every dollar they put in here.
Therefore, they must have some in
ducgment. The least we can do is to
fix ,hcir valuation at such a figure as
will make the city whole on the State
and county taxes, and we should not
let slip such an opportunity.
Mr. Iich born adverted to the col |
lateral lines of business that might
spring up in this connection. Each |
pair Of shoes today is shipped in box, |
an industry, and would furnish employ
men9 for a considerable number of men. |
Mr. Hichborn stated that he had re-
ceivsi a letter from the company III
which 1t gives figures as to the amount |
OF capital it will subscribe, which Will
be much more than we do here. He |
hoped that we might before long have
a paper-box manufactory in this city. |
which would supply many large con-
cerps all over the State which are usingi
hundl4is Of boxes every day. ThsreI

per cent. on It's stock, and Mr.. Lane
the city auditor, said that he had
kaown it to pay so per cent.
Mayor Choate believed everything1
should he done to encourage this pro
ject,%and that, if there was any action
which the city council could take, hcI
believed they were ready for it.
A vote was then taken, as already |
