WANTS To INVEST
100000 IN CITY
Pennsylvania Man Would Lo-
cate Factory in This City
Chamber of Commerce Will
Investigate.

A 100000 factory is a possibility
for Mishawaka. A communication was
received from +. w. Boyer of Penn
sylvania to the Mishawaka chamber
Of progress, Monday which Was read
at the Monday evening meeting of the
organization, stating that the sender
was willing TO invest 100000 in
Mishawaka at once. In the letter Mr..
Boyer stated that he did not ask for
any money. but wanted a three-acre
plot of ground for his factory, and
free water taxes for five years. He
also mailed a blueprint copy OF the
proposed factory building with a few
specifications showing that the build
ing would probably be about the size
of the Amplex factory in the east end
Of the city. About twenty men and
1000 girls would be employed at the
opening of the plant.
Steps were taken Monday evening
by the organization to investigate the
communication and a committee was
appointed to take up the matter.
Some effort will be made by the cham
Der of progress to locate the factory
here, as the proposition looks like a
good one to the members. The meet
ing was greatly enthuSed over the
proposition.
Daniel McKindiey was appointed to
fill a vacancy in the board of directors.
Mr.. McKindley was selected for the
vacancy as he is recognized as one OF
Mishawaka's best boosters, and II is
expected he will make a most efhc1ent
member of the board.
The resignation of DarN in Boyer
as financial secretary of the Cham Der
Of Progress was accepted X. l..
Sutherland was appointed to fill the
vacancy. Mr.. Boyer's reasons for re-
signing are due to pressing business
engagements which interfere with his
duties with the organization.
The matter OF securing hitching
racks for the farmers who trade in
this city was again taken up Monday
evening The committee which was
appointed sometime ago 10 look up
a suitable place was heard and the
report accepted. Several new sugges-
tions were received from members at
the meeting as to what manner the
matter should be taken care Of. 1t
was decided TO attempt TO secure a
lot at the rear Of the Ellsasser bowl
ing hall. facing First St, for a loca-
ton OF the hitching racks. Here, it
was pointed out a fence could be
built and the accommodations for the
farmer when in town, would be of
great benefit. The committee was
ordered TO take two more weeks to
investigate the matter and TO see if
the proposed location could be secur-
ed. They will report at the next
meeting of the organization.
A committee was appointed Mon
day evening to take UP the matter in
regard to the removal of sidewalk OBJ
stacles in front of two prominent
down town business houses. 1t is
planned to hold a big meeting of the
organization in two weeks. A good
attendance of member sis desired.
