 New Industries Committee
 C. 4 Boyce. chairman. then gave the following brief report for the new in dustries committee;
 This report will doubtless resemble the expense account of a certain sales man who was criticized by his sales manager fer entering personal items in his monthly reports The next month. when be presented his account. he said 'You see this new overcoat Well. it's in this account, but you won r find t."
 Your committee has. individually and collectively. done q rather credit able amount of hard, laborious work to bring new industries to Putnam. dur ing the last twelve months Unfortu- nately. many of our letters have been filed in our personal and business cor respondence. but we present to you lO2 copies of letters written to prospects and induiriers. We can call te mind at least forty-one personal interviews with interested persons, in addition to several out-of-taw trips taken at the personal expense of your committee With the help of the Manufacturers Association of Connecticut We were successful in securing one concern that bids fair Co become a most decided as. set to our city-the Edward Bloom Company. Then through the efforts of your committee. the CarRill Textile Company was organized. and is now doing business. and we extend our cor. dial support and best wishes to both concerns.
 On the other hand. we could have secured one or two concerns whose record was not A No. l. and whose coming here would have necessitated raising large sums of money locally. We believe it is our duty to guard our citizens and business men from unde- sirable connections, as well as to make desirable ones.
 One great obstacle we have encoun- tered in our quest has been. or will have been shortly. removed and that is the matter of taxes. Our present rate has been a bugbear and a bar rage. Our congratulations ta the eft izens whe voted last week To remedy this defeett
 Our second obstacle is. If course the general depression in New Eng. land in almost every line If mauufae- lure W believe in New FHgiand and expect chat New England will still come through l tfif3 boulder u thf way is tha. mHne desirable and re suousiblp concerns require certain financial heln a making change F.
