12 PAGES COMPANY OF 4 i To Be Submitted to Vote of the People| on July 170, KINGSTON WOULD PROFIT GREATLY BY THE SUCCESS OF SUCH A BUSINESS, Concessions Asked By Company Are Small, and In the Event of Failure To Proceed a Guarantee Bond Will Cover the City's Expenditures, On the 17th of July the ratepayers will vote upon a by-law to grant cer- tain concessions to the Canadian Na- tional Features Limited, for the es- tablishment of its moving picture plant at the fair grounds The com- pany, as announced in the Whig of Monday, Is a new concern, with a paid up capital of $250,000, and pro- poses to establish the first moving picture making plant in Canada. The pleture business is one of the most paying, princely fortunes having been made in-the United States and other countries, and the Canadian company, headed by J. Shea, the well-known Toronto theatrical man, and D. W. Brownridge, also of Toronto, who has been In the business for sixteen years, expects to reap a harvest also. Kings- ton is chosen because of its excellent location. The company wants to lo- cate here In preference to starting in other places which have offered it concessions. Ald, Fair, chairman of the com- mittee on industries, who has handled the matter since he knew of its possi- bilities, said his committee was con- vinced that it was dealing with a company composed of men of experi- ence and thoroughly reliable, and that the proposition was one that would prove of great advantage to Kingston. The discussion on the proposed agreement lasted for three hours and a half, and it was 1.40 a.m. before the Council adjourned after deciding to put the by-law to the people, as the concessions, although small, are in the nature of a bonus, and require to be ratified by the ratepayers' vote. Company's Proposals. The company proposes that the city shall rent to it the fair grounds for a period of five years at $100 a year, the corporation reserving cer- tain portions; that the city shall re- pair the palace building and heat it, at an amount not to exceed $2,000; furnish free of charge light and wa- ter and also fire protection; that within two weeks after the palace is repaired the company will produce merchantable moving pictures, em- ploy at least 40 persons, expend. at least $80,000 a year in wages in the city, and expend at least $15,000 in providing plant and equipment; con- tinue the production of moving pic- tures and. operate at least nine months in each year, and deppsit $300 with the City Treasurer to éov- er the cost of the by-law. D. W. Brownridge, vice-president of the company, stated that his con- cern was ready to start business at once, and regretted the delay of three weeks necessary to submit the by- law to the people. Two other towns sought the industry, and were ready to close a deal without consulting their ratepayers. © The picture busi- ness was one of the best paying in the world, There were 1,000 companies in the United States, and not one ye: operating in Canada. The Nationa Features Limited 'was Canada's first company, and Kingston had an op- portunity of securing its manufactur- ing plant. Ald. Wright asked how Kingston was such a desirable location for such a plant, Mr. Brownridge replied that Kings- ton was peculiarly adapted to picture work owing to its excellent surround- ings, its harbor, rivers, institutions, and labor market, Ald, Couper wanted to know about the granting of the grounds to the Kingston Industrial Fair Association for three days néxt September. Would the fair be interfered with by leasing the grounds to the picture company? He objected to aiding in railroading the proposition through before the fair association directors were heard. A Paying Business, 'Ald. Hughes remarked that the picture industry promised to be a big thing for Kingston when it proposed to expend $80,000 a year in wages. Therefore, the council should enter- tain the proposition in a serious way. Ald. Polson told of the great bene- fits of the picture business to Cali- fornia cities, which would do any- thing to get a picture company to lo- cate. Hende gston should con- sider well the advantages that would result to it if this new company was to locate here. . Ald.

London, June- 20.--Though out classed for the time by the sudden ™ concentration by the Huns of heavier guns, the Canadian artillery did her- oic work in the third battle of Ypres. When the first German daylight at- tack was launched, the Canadians liad several eighteen pounders hidden and doing effective work despite the enfiladed position they occupied. It was not long before the stumps were blazing like a fierce forest fire. Nine guns and crews stuck it to the last, firing a short range at the Huns flooding down their gommuuication trenches. Gradually the guns were unmasked under the weight of Ger- man shells, The Germans concantrat- ed on them until not a single gun was left in action. The limbers were burned up and there was no possiole way of dragging the remnants back safely and they were reluctantly abandoned. When the counter- at- tack recovered the ground five days ago the charred wheels and flame battered and shell battered {breeches and muzzles were recovered and will be returned to Canada as souvenirs. Capt. Cotton's Brave Deeds. In the counter attack, Captain Charles Cotton, a son of the late Gen. Cotton, and picked crews of three guns smuggled them out with- in three hundred yards of the en~ emy parapet and blew open a way for the Canadian infantry. Each man knew only a miracle would save him. One by one they dropped away woundéd or killed until Cotton him- self, badly wounded, was the only one left feeding a single gun. Effec- tively he fired shrapnel at close range at the Huns who attempted to stem our attack. Weakening from loss of blood, he happened to see a wireless operator whose aerial been shot away. He showed him how to fix the time fuses and the two of them worked the gun until an un- lucky hit blew it to smithereens, The operator had a marvelous escape, but Cotton was never seen again, though with the dawn, volunteers searched the place for his body.
