Roy, Asselin Company, granite man.
ufacturers, say they are unable to hire
and keep men with families because
the men cannot find tenements to their
taste. Other parties cannot find tene-
ments and several families are known
to have been kept from town and
others are being kept away right
along. Our granite industry cannot
grow without tenements. This new
industry is paying in wages some over
S24, 900 year into this town at
the present and is likely to pay
twice that amount in another II months
If given half chance to grow. Who
is the public benefactor who will en-
rich himself by building number of
cottage houses to rent? Barton needs
more tenements.
