BRAND NEW GLASS
FACTORY REPORTS
AS FOUNDAT|0NLESS
RUMoRS THAT $1,000, 900 CONCERN
is TO BE BUILT HERE, EMPHA.
TICALlY DENIED BY MEN
WHOSE NAMES ARE MENTION.
ED IN DEAL.

The speed with which inference
can grow from rumor to established
fact, and almost accomplish overnight
the erection af a new $7,000,000 glass
works in Ottawa, is evidenced in a
recent story that gained wide circula
tion thruout the city, but all of which,
according to sources that should be
authentic, if any are, brand the report
as utterly false.
For some time there have been per.
sistent stories in circulation that the
site on the west side, by purchase, and
sit on the west side, by purchase, and
that the promoters were preparing to
erect thereon a factory that would
employ large forces OF men. The men
whose names have been identified
with the supposed new industry all
stoutly deny any connection with the
undertaking and profess no know
edge of it whatsoever.
The story first had that a consolida-
tion OF local sand interests would pre-
,ced plans for constructing the new
plant. Where the rumors were first
originated is unknown although it is
stated that they came from sources
that seemed to know something about
the proposition. Nevertheless when
approached on the subject, those re-
ported in on the DEAL Charles +.
Claudon, former superintendent, Emil
+. Achard, former general manager OF
the National Plate, j. B. Herring, sec
retary and treasurer of the Ottawa
Silica company of West Ottawa, and
several others, emphatically refute
that such a consolidation would take
place, or has even been contemplated.
Later new reports to the effect that
these men had closed contract with
the United States Silica Sand COM
pany, through which they purchased
fifty acres of land west of Ottawa,
ed wide circulation, but were also de-
MED by those whose names were
mentioned.
For a time the rumors seemed ap-
parently squashed and Archard, Clau-
don and Herring jointly held that the
reports were gross untruths.
Sometime during the past two days
rumors were started that the plant
would cost approximately between
$7,O0O,O0O and $S,000,000 and also that
it would take approximately nine
months to build. Other rumors had
it that Fred Scherer, local teamster
had the contract for the excavation
for the plant and for the hauling of
the material. In statements this
morning those concerned stated that
it would no doubt take nine months
to build plant such as is being talked
of. They further added that such a
plant would not cost $7000,000 and
that there is absolutely no fact back
ing the rumors.
