ons, general manager, are in the city
to make a general inspection of the
Barre plant, having arrived yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Lyons, in speaking
about the factory this morning, said
that the operations could start to-mor-
row, or rather Monday, if the electrical
motors, now in transit, had been re-
ceived at the proper time. The order
for these was given with the distinct
understanding that their delivery be
made not later than Feb |, and though
many have arrived and are installed,
there is not sufficient number TO war
rant a profitable start in manufacture.
The motors are in transit from the

erything will be in readiness by July
10, when the officials of the company
hope 80 start operations. Mr. Lyons

complete inventories at the Mattapan

EMPLOYED as far as possible.
