2 The present indications are that the tub
factory will be rebuilt in the near future.
The new company has been exempted

a move in the right direction as several
families would be obliged to leave the vii
lage if the factory should not be rebuilt
and it is far preferable to have tenements
in good demand than to have them stand
ing empty.
