A meeting was held at the Com

A meeting was held at the Com
mercial Club last Friday night for
the purpose of discussing the Hines
tax. Mem bers of the board OF review
were present, and explained that
nothing had been done by them up
to that time in the way OF fixing
valuations. There was good de al
of discussion pro and con as to what
should be done towards encouraging
the Hines company to remain IN
Washburn, and as result a COM
mittee of three, to be appointed by
President M. A. Sprague was pro-
vided for, the committee being in
structed to meet Mr.. Hines and to
take up with him matters Of MUTUAL
interest to his company and the city
Arrangements are being made
to organize the Washburn Brick
and Tile company, anG to capitalize
it at $50, 900. Stock of the company
will be sold here in Washpurn, and
it intended to make it so far as
possible local concern. The Love
land company are back of the eater
prize, and The TINES is informed
that if sufficient stock is sold that
the plant will be placed in operation
by early spring. A representative
of the Omaha road will be here witr-
in a week or ten days to arrange for
a side track to run to the proposed
new plant which is located on the
500 River The clay which will be
used in the new works is that OF
which the report was received a
few weeks ago, and which was so
encouraging.
