BOARD OF TRADE SESSION.
Carpet Concern Must Place $4,000
in Bonds Before Locating.

The West side board of trade met in
regular session in their rooms in the
West Side Bank building last evening.
President Holmes presided.
The main topic for discussion was
the task of having $4,000, or as much
thereof as possible, worth of bonds
taken up by West Scranton capital
lists. This task was brought about by
the fact that a carpet mandatory is
about to be located on the Tripp addi-
tion, and the only condition attached
is the raising of 100000 in the form of
6 per cent. fifteen-year bonds, with
provso privilege of paying in three
years. This bond issue is to be Offset
by the deposit of a guarantee bond of
$4,000 by the firm of Macleroy, Scholey
& Comegys, of Philadelphia, who are
backing the proposed plant.
The Scranton board of trade, through
Secretary Atherton, had closed the deal
and procured the site for the plant and
j. A. Linen, president of the First Ma
tional bank, has already taken $4,000
of the necessary 5000 worth of bonds.
The remainder was submitted to the
West Side board of trade for placing
among capitalists of this side, urging
an immediate action. The board was
not prepared TO act last evening, but
upon motion of Mr.. Farrell. the matter
was referred to the finance committee
of the board, who will act in conjunC-
tion with President Holmes and Secre-
tary Atherton. The committee will act
as quickly as possible.
An idea of the proposed plant is given
in the following figures: The building
will cost $4,000; dye house, $4,000; the
plot $4,000; machinery, 100000; stock,
$4,000, and incidentals, $4,000. This
makes a total cost of about $7S, 900 The
100000 TO be raised here in bonds will
be used as follows: $4,000 to be paid
upon completion of the foundations
$4,000 more when the building is COM
pleted, and the final $4,000 when the
plant has commenced operations.
Unless an extension of time is secured
the $4,000 must be forthcoming today.
The other business of the evening
included the admitting of one new
member and the adoption of a motion
by Mr.. Farrell instructing the manu-
featuring committee to confer with the
proper officials of the Delaware. Lack
awanna and Western and Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company in reference to
factory sites. B. f. Laudig stated that
the Lackawanna Iron and Steel COM
pany and the old Tripp homestead
tracts were to be opened in the near
future for building plots. President
Holmes also said that Mr. Brock, of
England, would meet him today to
consider a site for a proposed woolen
mill
