The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-07-12

CContinued from Page D her offer been accepted, she says, her client would have begun busi- ness immediately, giving employ ment to from 100 to 200 workers, and increasing employees in number as time went on. This, she points out, would have meant more money in circulation locally, as well as ad- ditional city revenue from taxes on the property.
 The offer by Miss Baurer, filed Aug. 20, 1888, was for $22,500, less per cent commission. This would have meant a total of $2l ,375 for the city. The aldermen, acting on the recommendation of the land com mittee, rejected the offer at meet- ing Sept. l2.
 Monday Nights Bid At the meeting Monday night ot this week, the board received an of- fer of $i2,500 from John c. Herbst real estate man, for one portion of the property, and one of $7,500 from the Waterbury Farrel Foundry & Machine Co.,, for the other portion On recommendation of the land committee, these offers were accept cd. However, the city does not take title to the land till Aug. l, and no papers have been signed for the transaction.
 MT. Herbst is understood to have been acting for Wilbur Larson and Frank Bailey.
 Land committee members of the board are Aldermen Burton Walker Fenton Niver and Charles Sciullo. MT. Niver was quoted today as say 1 ing that Miss Baurer, after read ing of new negotiations for the sale of the property, should have re-sub- mitted her offer. Miss Baurer an- swers by st-ting that her offer was never withdrawn.
 Miss Baurer this afternoon planned to confer with the client on whose behalf she was acting last year, to see If he is still interested in the property.

 Waterbury, Conn,
 July l2, 1889. Editor Waterbury Evening Dem-
 ocrat, Waterbury, Conn.
 Dear Sir
 To the city of Waterbury, a man. ufacturing city, pay-rolls are a most important item. The sale Of the Am erican Ring company property TOT $20, ,000 0.00-which may or may not be for cash--brings to light that l made an offer for the same sprop- erty for $22,500.00 cash. Out of this cash was to come my commission Of s per cent, leaving the city to receive the sum of $21, ,375.o0. The record of my offer is on file in the office Of City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice.
 However, the main thing Of h- terest to Waterburians, Is the fact that the concern which was buying this property was going to employ between one and two hundred hands immediately, with an increase In the number of employed as time went on. This important item was clearly impressed upon the board of alder men and they were cognizant Of the fact that such a large number of people would be taken from the relief rolls of thi5 city. Neither the clerk or the committee on land of the board of aldermen saw 1t to bring out these facts, which togeth- CT with the amount of my offer should certainly merit the attention 1t 50 justly deserves.
 The injustice which is apparent h the light of these facts should be remcdied in some fashion, and 1t perhaps presents an argument for different and fair and proper way of taking care of the interests of the people of the city of Waterbury.
 Very truly yours,
 MISS SYLVIA L. BAURER.
