about so per cent its value.

ANOTHER CREAMERY
win be Erected In Canaan this Spr

win be Erected in Canaan this Spring.
The outside world evidently thinks
that Canaan is land that flows With
milk and honey. The representatives
of the New York Condensed Milk Co.
who have been prospecting in Canaan
and vicinity the past month have de
cided that this section can support an
other creamery, and they have decided
that Canaan is the best place to locate
1t. These representatives have so re-
ported to headquarters, and there is no
doubt their report will be accepted by
the company aud that creamery will
be built here this spring. In fact an
option has been secured on site, the
land surveyed and details agreed on but
the deed has not yet been sigred-but
there Is no doubt the project will be
carried through. yet it would be prema-
tnre today to say the deal was closed
The News has been requested to wait a
week before publishing the details of
the project, but no harm will result in
stating that the site selected for the
creamery is about seven acres of Mrs
Hiram Eddy's land near Union depot
and bounded on the north by the high
way and the O. N. E. railroad. on the
west by the Housatonic railroad, on the
south by the Blackberry river, and on
the east by other land belonging to Mrs
Eddy. The Canaan Lime Co.'S store
house stands on said land and will be
included in the purchase. About 1900
tons of ice will be needed. Part Of it
can be obtained at Pittsfeld, Mass, and
the balance is now being harvested at
Millerton. N. Y.
We understand that q. w. Barnum of
Lime Rock offered to give the company
q site at Lime Rock station provided
the creamery was located there, there
fore the citizens of Canaan have offered
to give the company the site near Union
depot.
