GRANITE CUTTING IN BURLINGTON
Burlington Is now eoquetting with the
granite industry. II seems that some
firm dealing in granite, presumably one
from the northeastern section Of the
state, Is diekering for change and il
trying the Burlington Commercial club
for inducements, This much we gather
from the Burlington Free Press which
discreetly withholds the name Of the
granite firm for obvious reasons, chief
among which Is the reason that there
may be another White River junction
to spring up in opposition and snatch
away this second plum. The induce.
ments hoped for are exemption from
taxation for period Of years, pay for
moving machinery and @other expenses
and credit facilities as the contempor
airy puts IT, The granite men visited
Burlington Saturday and consulted with
the officers Of the Commercial club, and,
according to the same information, mani.
tested interest in the inducements. OF
course, the plan Is to transport granite
in the rough 10 Burlington, cut It there
and then depend upon the better freight
facilities there offered to more than
make up for the cost Of the first trans
portation from the quarries. n the
freiehting facilities and rates to and
from that point. especially by way Of
Lake Champlaiu are 50 much superior,
then perhaps the venture can be made a
ago"
IL has been demonstrated in one in
stance in Vermont, at least, that inn
mediate proximity To the qnarries Ii not
essential, provided certain favorable
concessions can be secured, but It must
be admitted that the industry in such a
place il more or less precarious as to lie
stability. But this cake of granite, ii
such it may be called, is certainly large
enough to 60 around If Burlington can
SEE rs way clear.
