Independence, May SIN raising
the money required for securing the To-
cation here of the four big manufac-
turing plants from Indiana a novel
method was adopted, which has proven
remarkably successful It was neces-
sary to raise about $4,000 to secure
these four industries. but this amount
would soon come back into the pockets
of the merchants. A tract of ground.
consisting of about forty acres. was
purchased by the Commercial club and
plated as part Of the town site. The
streets and alleys were condemned and
taxed up to the city. which the inhab-
itants will pay with their taxes The
lots were then put on the market, and
went like hot cakes. They have all
been sold now, and more money has
been raised than was required. Work
on the plants is to begin soon.
