SPECIAL ELECTION. WHY?

But twelve days remain before
the special town meeting and
election
This election is being held for
purpose of granting free power
to Klein & Van Nostrand in the
operation of their plant for the
manufacture of articles from
aluminium, tin ard other metals.
The reason III calling special
election for the granting of this
+ this power is for the sole reason
of settling this question at the
earliest possible momest in order
20 give Klein & Van Nostrand
"A guarantee as to what they
can expect from the town OF
Eagle River. 1t also gives those
gentlemen an earlier period of 36
days in which to get in running
order for their spring orders,
whmh, as we are informed, means
much to the operator of plants
of this nature
By postponing the election
until April 9th, it delays them to
such an extent that their chances
for landing orders for this years
business is rather slim. And, on
the other hand, as the cost of
the special election will be less
than social publishing of cleo
ton notices and printing of bal
lots being donated by both news
papers-it but shows that the
town of Eagle River wants to
assist the initial industry to
make their business as profitable
the first year as possible.
Thirtv-six days might not
mean very much to some, but to
Klein & Van Nostrand land to
the town Of Eagle River as WE'LL
it means FIVE weeks in which
they can better themselves and
not lose business, which they
would otherwise
If YOU have not read up on
the proposition to be submitted
to YOU for an intelligent vote
March 1st, do SO at once
Eagle River wants this indus
try, and it's voters should give
them a unanimous vote at this
election.
