THE PEARL RIVER
DD0p0e'- :
$4,000 Has Been Subscribed by Citi-
zens-NO Agreement Yet as to
the Mill Starting.

Since The Leaders, report of ten
days ago about the plans for again
starting the wheels at the Pearl
haven Lumber Mills. nothing con.
elusive or definite has been done
that can be taken as a guarantee
that the mills will again run.
A citizens meeting has been held
and a committee appointed to
solicit subscriptions with a view to
donating the mill to Mr. Peck. Of
the M. Q. R r.. if he and his as
socfates will locate the plant here.
This committee, composed Of
Messrs. F. F. Becker. w. d Davis,
Louis Cohn. Henry Greenwood, w
H. Seavey and Sam Abrams. has
made a partial canvass of the city
and SIT 1000 has been subscribed.
Mr. F. F. Becker holds an option
of S25, 900 on the plant, which will
expire in about two weeks: SO that.
whatever action is taken in this
matter will have to be taken
promptly. especially so on account
of the fact that Mr.. Peck is expect
ed to be here next week and the
committee will necessarily have to
be in readiness to negotiate with
him at that time.
That the re-opening of this plant
means a great deal 10 Brookhaven,
both as to increase in activities and
in population. as well as a stimulus
to trade and increased real estate
values goes without the saying. All
Brookhaven business men have
reason to know what a big mill
plant means here. because of the
previous operation of the old Pearl
River plant.
What Mr.. Peck's definite plans
are have not been given to the
public, but with the control of a
ten year run of timber. equal to the
capacity of the old Pearl River
plant. there is a certainty that it is
going to be .milled somewhere.
With the superior avantages offered
by Brookhaven over any other place
contiguous to this timber, The
Leader trusts that when Mr.. Peck
and the committee get together. an
agreement will be reached and the
hum and hustle of the old-time
Pearlhaven will resume.
Any contributions to this fund
will be received by the committee,
with the double assurance thus
given that a community interest Is
Individual welfare: and that in
dividual interest in an enter
prise like this means our whole
corporation cooperating for every
individual and its future prosperity
and prominence in commercial
affairs that will give US rating un-
surpassed by any other city in the
road. Brookhaven realizes the
time has come to do big things. b
