Firm To Remain Here
Construction Starts With
Large Grew of Laborers
Employed.
READY IN SIX WEEKS
Start Of Building Quells
Rumor That Company

Ely was assured this week that its
second largest industry would remain
here as work on the rebuilding Of the
cOIoring plant was begun by the Emer-
aIite Rock Products company.
With between Is and % men employ
ed On the construction job il was eSti-
mated that the plant would be ready
for operation within the next four 70
SIX weeks.
Start Of the construction Of the new
coloring plant set at rest speculation
that has been rife IN the community
for the past five months as 70 whether
or not the industry would be moved
from the city. Although no official
statement was available il IS consider
ed obvious that the rebuilding of the
plant signifies the cOmpany's definite
decision 10 remain here.
No official estimate Of the cost Of the
new plant and its equipment was avail
able this week but damage TO the for
mer plant was estimated at between
$4,000 and 100000 when It was de-
strOyed by fire last February.

was the basis last spring for the posi-
biiCy that the company might move
70 a new location. Freight and power
rates which were considered excessive
" high by the company also played
major roles IN the possibility Of the
move.
Last March local civic organizations
launched a campaign with the aim Of
making every effort toward keeping the
industry in Ely. The Importance Of the
plant 70 the economic stability Of the
community moved the organizations to
participate in efforts 10 secure ad-
justments Of rates.
In the meantime the company has
been considering the location Of all or
part Of the plant at Dresser Junction,
Wisconsin, and although there was no
official announcement it has been taken
for granted that those plans have been
dropped since the start Of construction
here.

A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by

greater.
