NEW INDUSTRIES.

Mayor Brown has received two
propositions from manufacturing con
Germs to locate in this city, which he
has presented to the board of trade.
Charles y. Goodwin Of the canning
firm of Chas. r. Goodwin q Company
Of West Poland, Me, called on the
mayor on Wednesday and stated that
his fifm contemplated establishing a
branch plant in Vermont if it was
given sufficient encouragement Hc
has already visited Newport and ST.
Johnsbury. He desires to can corn
beans, and peas, furnishing the seed
to the farmers so that the product
could be of q uniform brand.
His conditions are that the city. eN-
empt the firm from taxation for term
of years, furnish building 40 50
feet, yard room for husking sheds 100
feet square so located as to be con-
venient to railway sidings. 1t is es-
timated that this would entail an eX-
pense not exceeding $500, which
would be offset by the distribution of
$40, 600 per year among the farmers in
the vicinity. The firm will bind
itself to occupy and operate the plant
for a term Of years. During the can
ming season 200 people would be EN-
ployed in the factory, for one month
if corn alone was canned, and month
extra i'll each case, if peas and beans
were included. Quite a force would
also be required after the rush sea-
son i'll labelling and packing the goods
f. H. Mead of Berlin, N. H., writes
the mayor and makes a proposition
to establish an overall, wrapper and
shirt factory i'll this city. He states
that he has demands made upon him
at present for doing $3.50, 600 worth of
business a year but is unable to get
the help he desires in Berlin. He
says he could start in with 100 en-
ployes, most of whom would be WON
en- and girls. He proposes that stock
company or corporation should be
formed with paid in capital of $25,
600, he to take So, 900 interest, of
which amount he would furnish s., 00C
i'll machinery. He agrees to draw
out only from 5000 to 5000 year until
under his management the business
pays the stockholders six per cent an
nually on their investment. When
this per cent increases he would eX.

| 1t is conceded that the two upper
floors of the Greene Syrup of Tai
building would make ample quarters
for this industry. What the board OF
trade will decide or be able to accom-
plish in regard to securing these in
dustries will depend upon the cooper
alton given by the business men.

What can we do n0tr? We have learned
much. We can mitigate and modify all
diseases and many we can cure. A sick
body is worth more prospectively than it
used to be. Once, when bucket brigade
was the highest form of fire organization,
the flames usually had their own way.
Nowadays Cat least in large cities) disas-
trous fire is rare. Great medical progress
marks the age Now and then n discovery
like that of the new medicine known as Cal
cura-Solyent shines in the sky like newly
created star. Diseases of the blood, liver,
kidneys, yield to it, and cures of nervous
affections are made that astonish the doe
tors as greatly as they delight their patients.
1t proves that one more wonderful secret
has been surrendered by nature for the
good of man. The elements of Calcura-
Solvent have not yet been made public, but
it is certain that the day when the dis

KELLOGG HUBBARD LIBRARY.

The annual meeting of the trustees
of the kellogg Hubbard library was
held on Thursday evening. The old
board of officers consisting Of G. W.
Wing, president, Rev. j. Edward
Wright, secretary, and \. d. Far
well, treasurer, were reelected. Miss
es Mary Macomber and Evelyn~Lease
were also elected librarian and assist
ant. at slightly increased salaries.
1t was voted to increase the insur-
ance on the books from 81, 600, to 1000.
The insurance on the building Is
SIG, 600 and on the outside property
81, 900.
The annual reports of the five differ
ent departments of the work were re-
ceived and approved.
By these reports it is shown that the
total expense of running the library
during the past year has been, i'll
round numbers, s., 600, of which 81, 100
has been expended for new books and
binding, the balance being used for
salaries, repairs on buildings and 9TH
er incidental expenses.
During the year 80, POI books have
been issued by the librarian. This
number does not include the six trav-
cling libraries of fifty volumes each,
which have been in constant circula-
ton. The issue Of books during 1901
compared about the same, month by
month, with 1900 except in the month
of JUNE, 1901, when the library was
closed two weeks for taking an in
voice. This is difference of 900 less
| in the issues of 1901 than in that of
| 1900
There are now about II, 600 volumes
| III the library. The issue of other
books outside of fiction has been the
greatest during the past year of any
in the history of the library.
The repairs on the property are so
well in hand this year that 1t is estl
mated the trustees will have about
$500 more this year than last to eX-
pend for new books.
The library has received no aid from
the city nor has it yet received the
money bequeathed to it by the late
John E. Hubbard This latter fact
has saved the library the payment of
| United States tax of SIP, 800, as that
law was repealed last June so far as
it effects benevolent institutions.
The trustees have already borrowed
from the executor of the estate about
Sl2, 600. At the meeting on Thursday
evening it was voted to obtain a
further loan of 81, 500, which it is esti-
mated will bring the income of the
library this year up to $4,000 which 1t
would enjoy from its endowment at
four per cent interest If II had 1t III
hand.
The reports show the institution to
be in an excellent condition and its
affairs judiciously managed.
