ASBESTOS PLANT WE'LL UNDER
WAY.
President Nichols Tells Of Asbestos
Mines Within % Miles Of Baltl-

Twenty carloads of machinery for
the Baltimore Roofing and Asbestos
Gompany's plant are at Tfnksburg
waiting to be unloaded In a short
time 1t is said that 20 more carloads
will arrive.
Mr. r. NJ. Nichols, OF Oil City, Pa,
who was in Baltimore this week said
he knew of five asbestos mines within
20 miles of Baltimore. Continuing he
said: Asbestos mines have never been
worked in Maryland before. The as
bestos Is not of q very good quality,
nor is there any great amount of the
mineral. 1t Is expected that as soon
as the plant begins operations at
Ffnksburg these mines will be develop
ed. The asbestos that is now used
for manufacturing purposes comes
from Canada"
Just what will be done with the Oil
City plant after the one in Maryland
Is opened Is not known. A project is
under way that may result In greatly
charging the Finksburg plant.
At present an s00-foot building is
In course OF construction and two
more new buildings OF 500 feet each
will be built. The officers of the com
pany are: r. NJ. Nichols president: H
NJ Nichols, vice president; DR.. c. r.
Foutz, of this city. treasurer: @. r.
Emigh. general manager.
It is said that the new enterprise
will give employment to about $50
men, who with their families will
greatly increase the population Of
Ffnksburg.
