The citizens OF the town are warned to
attend town meeting Saturday TO annu
the action OF the meeting OF March 9th in
exempting The shoe factory property and
other industries that may be established.
SO far as the shoe factory property Affects
the grand list, 1t is a very small matter
not over i0c. Der capita per year-and there
is no assurance that other industries Will
come in. Il would be unreasonable to
think they would II no inducement is held
out to secure them, as so many towns are
willing 10 offer inducements TO secure IN
dustries, especially those that employ
considerable number of hands, even no
more than are employed in the shoe tacto-
nv here. Our town should be proud OF
what it ought TO be, IL not what It Is, and
IL rests with its citizens to make 1t pros
porous, especially when il is not loser
financially from so doing. Sixteen extra
poll taxes will cover the eNempting OF the
tax this wear, and from 30 TO 100 people
take the products of the farms to support
them. Competition in all industries has
become strong, and only by the strietest
economy can one succeed away from the
center OF trade, owing to the expense OF
freight.
