Report of Committee on Paper Mill
Project.
Devils Lake Commercial Club,
Gentlemen:-Your committee in.
structed to report on the feasibility of
establishing paper mill for the manu-
facture of print paper from straw, and
to look up the standing of the Cutler
Engineering Co., w. G. Berry and M.
j. Baker, beg leave to report as fol-
lows:
Answers to our several inquiries are
attached hereto, from which it would
seem that the firms and individuals
above mentioned are reliable and have
the reputation of carrying through
what they undertake.
AS to the feasibility of making paper
from straw, we believe that the fact
that the Cutler Engineering Co. will
put up the plant complete and take
bonds of the company for pay, is con-
elusive evidence that they have in
vestigated that feature of it, and are
satisfied on that point, as the bonds
would be worthless if the plant can
not make paper from straw. We also
quote some authorities on this sub
ject.
Your committee believes this pro-
ject is the most feasible of any large
project for manufacturing, or utilizing
our raw products, and the one that
is likely to pay the best, and that it
would ne the forerunner of other SINH
lar plants for utilizing our raw pro-
ducts. We also believe that the op-
portunity for getting such an industry
started, will not be again presented
to us on such favorable terms, if at all.
We, therefore, recommend that q
committee of nine members of the
| club be appointed to circulate a sub.
scription list for shares of the Devils
Lake Paper Co. among the citizens of
the town and among the farmers in
this and adjoining counties. -,
That the committee call meetings
in the various central towns of this
district, at which meetings, the plan
of financing and operation of the mill
could be thoroughly explained and dis.
cussed by the members of the commit
tee. That a written agreement be
entered into between the Devils Lake
Commercial club and the Devils Lake
Paper Co. covering those points which
are embodied in the subscription agree
ment. r.
=. That the attached form of subscrip
ton list be circulated for signatures
and placed in the, hands Of the Local
committees appointed at the various
meetings, for the purpose of further
circulating the subscription list.
Respectfully submitted. =
