The people who have been pushing
the starting up Of the Aetna glass
house, met last night and formed Them
selves into committee, and will ap-
point solicitors to go among the people,
especially the business men. The pro-
ject has already aroused the citizens
and much interest is shown. One man
stated yesterday that he would give
$4,000 If the citizens would raise $780,
600. He is a man of means, and the
matter now rests with the people. If

manufacturing establishment il will be
a great benefit to the community.
