IN A VIGOROUS WAY
COMMITTEE IS AT WORK.
Different Phases of the Question of Securing Factories and In- creasing the Pc .srlati0n of Montgomery.

1. The Manufacturing Committee of the Commercial Club has gone about it's duties in a vigorous and business like manner. Two meetings. both well att tended, have been held during tne past week. and the whole industrial situation generally discussed.
 At the meeting FriCay night steps were taken to assist in starting a chair factory at Montgomery. with good prospects for ultimate success. At that time also a systematic plan was adopted for carrying on campaign for industrial establishments. The preleminary steps were arranged and the work apportioned out among sew eral sub-committees .,., l., the Judgment of the committee was the question of sites. Communities elsewhere have found 1t profitable, sired location. to donate the neces- sary land in order to secure tho loca- ton of the factory. x'roperty owners, 1t was shown. donate say nve acres on their land. The property .immedi- ately surrounding the factory by reas- on of the improvement soon Increase in value until the balance remaining IS worth manifold, what the entire prop erty originally would nave brought.
 A subcommittee consisting or George A. Thomas and E. B. Joseph, Jr., was appointed Friday night to secure from property owners adjacent to railroads, propositions for donations of sites, in case the location of an industry on their property was secured. Property owners desirin~ factories should com municate with this sub-committee.
 Another practical preliminary step will be to secure a list of those facto- ries which would undoubtedly be suc-- cessful here. This matter was turned over to a subcommittee. consisting Of Michael Cody and M L. Griel, who will at once communicate with the 1obbers in Montgomery and request sugges- tions from them. There are certain goods sold by the jobbers in the great est quantities here. certain lines for which there Is an almost illimtable demand which could De manufactured as cheaply in Montgomery as else where and in addition save the freight. A list of such factories will be made. A schedule of each factory will be presented. setting forth the cost of the raw materials. the estimated expense of their manufacture into goods, the amount of product taken by home con sumption and an estimate of the prof. it's These schedules will be given the widest publicity, and a particular ef-
