Outside capitalists would judge the scheme on its merits. sud a 10 yesre' contrsct would help it very much. (Ap- planes».

They had not even asked for exemption from taxes. while they would undoubtedly be the means of inducing manutacturers to locate in the town. They had entered into ten years' contracts with many of the citizens. and felt they were justi- fied in asking a contract for the same term from the toy-n. . _ AA On motion Mr. vile-Fraser was heard. He felt it should appeal to the wisdom of the council that when they were offered (our times as good a con- trect as the present one they m' ht consider their duty to the company t at made so good an offer.
