Committee Visits
Composite Factory

Wesley Staley, F. C. Murchi-
son, A. L. Davis, 7. L. Yeager,
and w. W. Moberly journeyed
to Denver Tuesday in Mr.. Murch-
ison's car to inspect the factory
Of the Dezel! Composite Con-
struction Co., at GO Broadway.
This is the factory that has kept
Arvada citizens astir since We'd
nesday of last week when, a COM
mittee was despatched post haste
to Denver to interview the Off
cials of the company who have
offices in the Foster building.
The matter was kept as quiet
as possible last week in order
that other towns would not slip
anything over. on us" in case
there was anything doing"
The matter has become public,
however, and inasmuch as a de-
sirable sight has been found here
and it will require the co-opera-
tion of all .Arvada citizens to
land the factory, we make Known
the general circumstances.
The committee which carefully
inspected the factory on Broad
way were impressed with the
wonders they saw of sratuary of
almost any model imaginable, Of
flower pots of beautiful design
and gigantic size, of tile flooring,
of tile roofing, of magnificent
and ponderous furniture, of cas-
kets, of imitation woodwork for
! interior finish of rooms. In fact
there is scarcely a material now
! made that this company is not
} able to reproduce in both weight
and colors, but in strength AM d
durability apparently indestauct-
ible impervious to heat, cold or
moisture, and in many instances
, unbreakable.
The claim is made that this
feature alone will soon revolu-
tionize the tile roofing business,
as the company can safely guar
antee every piece of tile to be
perfect when it reaches its des-
tination, cutting out the losses
by breakage in shipment.
The possibilities of such a
manufacturing. industry seem
marvellous and Arvada's chances
for locating it seem to be far in
advance of the other points
which are after them. =.
There are little details how
ever, still to be worked out that
cannot be stated here and Of
course there are business mat
ters that require great caution on
both sides, yet to be arranged.
The Enterprise is not urging any
one to get excited over the pros
poets, but will state that such an
institution, if it should mater
ialize as the possibilities suggest,
would mean more to Arvada than
anyone can attempt to foreteIL

Town Board in
Regular Session.

The Town Board met in regu-
lar session Monday night with
a full membership present.
Mr.. Newcomb read the min
utes of the previous meeting and
occupied the clerks chair until
the unfinished business was dis
posed of, when John Lercher,
the newly appointed clerk, town
marshal and water commission
er, was called to the chair and
proceeded with the remainder of
the business, which was rather
light.
An application was made by J.
A. Pierce to build an addition to
his coal shed on the C. & S.
tracks, just west Of Wadsworth
avenue, being in the fire limits,
but a motion by Campbell to
grant the privilege failed to get
a second.
Martin Klumker addressed the
board on behalf of the fremen,
asking for some paraphernalia,
such as four pairs of rubber hip
boots, four smoke protectors,
four slickers and four pairs of
gloves. The lotal cost would
have been $4,000. The board
compromised by allowing the
slickers and smoke protectors.
The real interest of the even
ing was centered on the propo-
sition from the electric company
with reference to furnishing
eight additional street lights. AS
stated in last weeks issue, these
lights would cost the city $500
more per month or $3S. so for %
lights beside the tower as against
$29. so for ID lights besid the
tower. The sticker came when
M. Duncan, the local manager,
presented a contract to be sign
ed by the board and agreeing to
an arrangement for four years,
whereby the city must continue
to use the % lights and that all
additional lights needed in the
meantime should be paid for at
the same ratio of $1.75 per light,
and when installed must be main
tained permanently for the re-
mainder of the life of the con-
tract, except that the company
would remove them toa different
location at actual cost.
Mr.. Campbell objected to such
an agreement, which he said was
tying the succeeding board S
hands in case some other lighting
institution should offer some
thing cheaper. He was willing
to bind themselves as to the %
lights, but not as to additional
lights. He had a strong second
in Mr.. Murchison.
Mr.. Buck, however, was anx-
ious that the eight lights be in
stalled and did not believe that |
there was enough probability of |
such an opportunity as Campbell |
suggested arising in the four
years. He thought that the
town needs the lights badly, and |
as Mr.. Duncan assured the
board that this was their best |
proposition, he was in favor of |
putting it through.
There was a good attendance,
and the audience was somewhat |
divided on this question.
The best argument sustaining !
Campbell and Murchison, was
that in case we should locate a
factory it might want to light |
it's surrounding streets and also
might offer to furnish other
lights to the city.
However, the chances Of such |
exigencies arising and the town
being in semi-darkness for four |
years are about equal, unless the /.
Electric company should con-
clude to strike out this clause in |
the contract. With the addition /
