Sixty Thousand Dollars Necessary Secure
The Cohoes Knitting Mill

At a meeting of the repre-
sentative business men and citi-
zens and of the officers of the
three banks of the city yester-
day morning at the City Hall the
report of Mr.. Arthur Whittam,
the textile expert sent to Cohoes,
New York, to investigate the Of
fer of the Cavanaughs Of that
city, was made public and after a
full discussion of the offer by the
gentlemen present a committee
was appointed to make an offer
to the New York manufacturers
and this offer was that the peo-
pie of Columbus will take the
sixty thousands of dollars of
bonds necessary to secure the
location of the plant here. The
com mittee to whom the matter
was referred was composed of
the following gentlemen: Messrs.
Walter Weaver, Il. O. Burris, r.
O. Chapman, r. t. Williams,
John It. Wood, w. H. Lee, Chas.

ed. The matter will at once be
placed before the various banks
of this city as we'll as the people
generally and already there is
assurance that the full amount of
bonds will be taken.
The report OF Mr. Whittam
was full and exhaustive, every
special feature which he was re
quested to develope was covered
fully and all Of the information
asked for was given. The in.
ventory of the machinery Of the
Cohoes mill was valued by the
Cavanaughs at S1O3, 900, but Mr..
Williams estimate scaled it to
$88, 100000. He stated that it
was in good condition and that
the only obstacle which the New
York manufacturers had en-
countered in the successful con-
duct of the mills was the cost of
yarn and the cost of labor and
fuel. These conditions which
operate so severely against the
mills in the North will be over
