Drew Daniels, manager of the Morrisville
| Granite Company which is contemplating
moving its works here, was here Saturday
to confer with the business men. He found
| that the So 100 had been pledged 30 it is now
practically settled that Waterbury Is tt
have this industry. There are two or three
notions as to location but the site near the
new canning factory seems to meet with
the most favor. This matter will be decid.
ed at once and as it is also expected will
be the construction of shed upon its com.
pletion. The first granite industry al
Northtield was induced to locate there I'M
der practically the same arrangement as Of
fered this one by Waterbury and the CON
sensus OF opinion in Mortified is that the
investment has been paying one and at g
large per cent, as it was not long after the
first granite industry located there before
others followed. Waterbury should fare at
well il not better. 1t is as conveniently 10
Gated as Northfield for access to the granite
centres and has to offer, besides, an up.to
date and progressive community in which
are exceptional advantages for good resi-
dents such as low rental and taxes, an(
good school and church facilities.
