ONE MORE.
Paper Box Factory viii Be Located
in this City.
Not So Very Large Now, But Promises to Be 4
Healthy Child.

Augusta is practically assured of one
more new industry-a paper box man
ufactory. and the location has been
settled upon. Further particulars re-
garding this will be later given. Nego-
tiations for the necessary machinery
have been made and it is expected that
the plant will be in operation inside "
60 days.
The movement has been quiet one.
A party of six or eight Augusta men
has taken it up and 1t is proposed to
start in with capital stock of $4,000.
The demand for paper boxes in this
section of the State is quite consider
able. The shoe factories require many
of course. Each pair of shoes that : !
now sent from the shops is packed in
a box. Several other industries in this
section use these boxes and. as the new
factory will make boxes of all sizes ana
kinds. the business. now starting in on
what might be considered a small
scale along with some of our other
great plants, promises to grow to be a
strong. large youth, in short order.
The proposed factory viii have a
capacity of 10000 boxes a day. 1t win
employ about Is girls and four or five
men, making up a weekly payroll of
about $500 a week. The building VIII
be of wood 50 feet long by 81 feet wide
and two stories high.
The industry is one of The incest 70

will supply the power for the plant
and Augusta is again open to receive
congratulations To new string to her
bow, in a substantial and what, II Is
confidently believed. win be a very
profitable business.

Niaed, and at the present time we are
engaged in an examination Of all policy
am satisfied that If this subject
mad received the close attention which
It deserved at the time the association
was being examined. and which was
assured by Mr.. Fletcher it would re-
ceive. no such recommendation would
have suggested itself Thus II will be
seen that conditions 3 and in the re-
port mad been considered before the
visitation of the examiners.
AS to condition l. we fail to see any
reason why this association should be
Disseminated against. / think | may
safely hazard the statement that every
assessment association reporting to the
Massachusetts department finds itself
compelled to use all of the first wears
premium in paying the agent. the ex-
aminer and the expenses incidental to
careful selection of risks.
AS for condition 2, | will saws that
as we have not yet submitted to the
department limited premium policy,
ana as such policy cannot be issued I'M
der the laws of this State without the
approval of the commissioner. such
condition is obviously premature.
The financial statement recently
given to the press was incorrect and
calculated to do our association a great
injustice. Without warrant, our contin-
gent assets We're eliminated, and the

bitrary arrangement complied without
