Tannery Exemption.

About 1870 voters met MAY in the
Tow hall to see IL the town would vote
to exempt the Fisher tannery from taxa
ton. In the absence OF Moderator r. j.
Flint, c. ID. Cushing was elected modera-
tor pro tenn. Rev. J. w. Miller offered
resolution in accordance with the call for
the meeting as published in the Courier
and made few remarks in favor OF the
proposition. No one else said anything
and on a standing vote the motion was
100 yes to 3 no.
Says the Barre 1imes:-''In view of the
fact that several cities and towns are
bidding to secure the E. G. Fisher COM
paDy's tannery, which was burned out re-
Gently at Bethel, the voters Of that village
have done wisely in voting to exempt the
plant from taxation for a period Of ten
years o. an inducement for the company
to rebuild. This power of exempting
property from taxation is likely to be
abused and is, we believe, often abused
at the solicitation and manoeuvering of
mendicant concerns. But the situation is
different at Bethel; the citizens have to
choose between being deprived OF the
temporary taxes from a large plant or
being deprived of q fourishing concern
which has been for years part of the in
dustrial life blood of the community,
inasmuoh as the Fisher company is not
tied down to Bethel and can at this tim
be readily transferred. Those who have
followed the progress Of this hustliDg
town will hope that the exemption voted
yesterday will be instrumental in holding
the tannery business in Bethel"

Milford, N. H., Wants Fisher Plant.
Nothing has been definitely decided as
yet in regard to the rebuilding of the
Fisher tannery. Z. C. Fisher is still in
Boston. where he was joined by his
brother, E. A. Fisher, Tuesday. From
conversation had with 4. A. Fisher be-
fore he left Tuesday, it was learned that
matters were as favorable as might be ex-
pected.
Satisfactory guaranty has been made by
the railroad companies assuring q two
days limit on freight delivery from
Bethel to Boston.
The Central Vermont railway officials,
General Manager Jones and Supt c. E.
Dewey, were In town last week in confer
ence with E. A. Fisher and the railroad
will afford reasonable facilities.
The town Of Milford, n. H., is red-hot
after the company 70 have it locate there.
Milford is q town of 5000 inhabitants, sit
uated near the Massachusetts line, about
ten miles west Of Nashua. The large
Boyce tannery located there burned last
year. The people OF Milford at first did
not exercise much anxiety in securing the
rebuilding at Milford Of the firm and be-
fore they knew it Woburn, Mass, had Sc
cured the firm. They then went to work
and tried to induce the firm to rebuild.
but were too late, Mr.. Boyce telling them
that he had $40, 900 invested in Woburn
and he could not retrace. When the Mil
ford people heard OF the Fisher fire, they
started in at once and have offered the
Fisher company to exempt them for a pc
riod OF ten years and to build for them
such a tannery building as the Fisher
company desire. II is understood that
the Fisher company and Milford people
are to have q conference this week.

ance loss was made with Representatives
