Look for Business
Boom This Year

According to persistent rumors
West Pennington is likely to expert
ence a business boom in 1926. The
addition of several wood turning
lathes to the business plant of Car
roll j. Cacomber will make work for
a number of hands, which is looked
upon with much favor, but what the
people of that village, and inciden-
tally of this village as well, is that a
shirt factory is likely to be built there
within a few months, and rumor has
it that anywhere from 200 to 300
hands will be employed. 1t is under
stood that a company of ample finan-
cial strength is ready to go ahead at
once with the project, if sufficiently
encouraged. The people of the viii
lage are ready to furnish a suitable
building site and to assist in other
ways, and as this has been done be-
fore under similar conditions. it is
presumed that the town would be
glad to exempt the business from tax
alton for a term of years. but this
would have to be determined in open
town meeting. AS the annual town
meeting comes in March it is not
considered necessary to call a special
town meeting for this purpose but it
is likely that the matter will be
brought to the attention of the voters
, at the annual meeting.
