Lexington, KY, Dec 1.-the State
Board OF Control was exonerated Of
any improper action in the Armstrong
cloth purchase in the report of the
Fayette Circuit Court grand jury filed
today.
There is not a scintilla of evidence
or testimony to show the Board OF
Control or any member of il, had any
interest in the contract or received a
single cent and there was nothing to
justify belief or even a suspicion that
the Board of Control or an member
of it actuated by improper or unjust
motives in considering the contract"
the report said
"All the double dealing, deceit eva
sion and trickery in the matter was
that of Ray. Ryans and Armstrong,
although the jury believes that the
last mentioned party was simply an
irresponsible tool used by Ray and
Ryans TO secure the contract"

But we can't continue increasing our

The farms, mines and factories cannot

Railroads are now near the peak Of their

Without railroad expansion-more en-

But this country of ours is going to

WORKING ON
new CARY PLANT
IN SUMMERVILLE

Many workmcn have been employ
ed the past few weeks at the new
plant of the Cary Maple Sugat
Company beyond the Follensby mi,
in Sumnerville and when all ttc
buildings are completed next sum.
mer St. Johnsbury will have the very
latest model plant for the purpose:
for which it is being erected IT,
Marshall house, which stood on tl.t
property, has been moved across tbs
Maine Central track and the exca
waiting is all done from the two side
tracks which will be laid in front {,
the buildings. These will be la,
right off and will be long enough Il
accommodate Is Or 20 cars at one
time. The tracks will be parallel arr
between the main line and the built
ings of the Cary plant.
The dimensions Of the new store.
house are 11oby 40 feet and the
building is now being boarded u,
This will be utilized mainly for sto,-
ing the empty barrels. Between thi
building and the big factory ther;
will be SO foot ySace. This will b,
concreted to facilitate transportation
between the two buildings.
Mr.. Cary has not decided as to tn
exact size of the new building be-
cause he is still investigating the
various patterns of machines, ket-
ties, etc. that will occupy so much
space in the factory 1t will be ap,
proximately 60 by 200 feet and fou
stories and when the new machin
cry is purchased the building will b.
built to fit. 1t will be built of re.
inforced concrete with brick facing
and besides all the machinery TO,
melting the syrup it will contain ar
kinds of conveyors for manufactur-
ing purposes and for loading and un-
loading the cars. ~.
The plans for the new building viii
be drawn by Webster e. Libby, the
Portland architects, who are now
erecting the half million plant in
Portland for T. A. Houston Company
cracker manufacturers. 1t is hoped
to have the excavation and founda.
ton completed before spring and to
have the building ready for occu.
pancy in July OF August.
The capital Of the Cary Maple
Sugar Company is now 100000 and
they have surplus of $4,000 and
undivided profits as of March / Of
$4,000. This corporation proposes
to issue on Jan. l 100000 of prefer
red stock. This will pay per cent
per annum and callable after five
years at sos. This stock does not
have any voting power and will be
offered to the public as an invest
ment.
st. Johnsbury people have per-
sonal interest in the success of any
local enterprise and the plans of the
Cary Maple Sugar company wher
fully carried out means the estab-
lishment in st. Johnsbury of the
largest plant of its kind in the world.
