why" remarked a prominent citizen
and taxpayer of the East Side to a
News representative today: 81 am as
founded at the protest. i was asked TO
sign IL. but first looked over the works
at my own suggestion and through the
courtesy of Mr.. Phetteplace. What did
findG Why, not an odor more offensive
than In my own home, and 1 am a
clergyman at that.
'lf these cynics had a Dcgras plant or
fertlizing factory at their doors IL would
be different. But as TO these new olive
oil works I can see no objection, and
they should be promoted rather than
retarded"
