and sufficient help to operate them.
The pay rolls alone for wages
amount to eighty thousand dollars

rect benefit to Woodbridge Township
Added to this would be the tax rat

amount to several thousand dollars
a year. Woodbridge Township
therefore stands to lose about one
hundred thousaid dollars a year.

posing to say that they are not
opposed TO industries for this cannot
be true in the light of the facts
in this case.
The factory of the Franklin Con-
tracing Company would be ninety
times more in~offensive than any of
the factories that r now situate
in the city of Perth Amboy along
the Raritan river and the Sound,
for the Franklin Contracting Com
pany could build their plant so
that there would be absolutely no
dust and no odor.
1T feel confident that the Town
ship of Woodbridge is without u
thority to prevent any property
owner from using their property so
not to impair the health or
safety of persons in the commun-

that will not be unsafe or impair
the health of any one and they are
not going to be deprived OF the use
of their thirty-six acres of land II
they can help it.
The Franklin Contracting Com
pany will proceed with the con-
struction of their plant and they
are ready to protect their property
