Hallon. canny. Orandell and our: When Capt. Crandeli, as chairman, opened the meeting of ratepayers at the east ward school last Friday even- ing he felt it necessary to apologize for the small attendance, but a few min- utes later the arrivals became numer- ous, and by the time he had completed his introductory remarks the chamber was comfortably filled. Mr. R. Sylvester was the first speakâ€" er, and his explanation of his reasons ‘ for asking a loan of 820,000 was along the lines of his address at the town hall meeting, so freely reported in The Post. He pointed out that he already employed 100 hands instead of 20, the number mentioned in his agreement with the town, and the prospects for a rapid growth of the business in the near future had never been as bright. He had been in business for 29 years, starting in a mall foundry in Ennisâ€" killen, with very little capital except a good name which he had always en- deavored to keep unsullied. if the ratepayers voted him the assistance he was seeking there was little cause to fear that they would lose one cent of the sum advanced. Mr. ltobt. Kennedy said he had given some consideration to the losn question when it was first mentioned, and had decided then that the propositmu was calculated to advance the prosperity of the; town. He regarded the business men and citizens oi Lindsay as memâ€" bers of a great jotnt stuck company whose object. was the upliuiluliug or the town in every palsible way, and no one member of the syndicate could lie benefitted without all ginning lllt‘l‘l'lly either directly or indiiei-tly, nor could one member fail without :iflecting the punperity of all.

Sylvester the assist- ance they would cheerfully vote to an unknown outsider to come here and endeavor tarepiace him. He did not doubt for one moment that if Mr. Syl- vester made it known that he was dis- satisfied with Lindsay he would in the course of a few weeks receive a. down offers of cash bonuses to go elsewhere. hvenif the loan necessitated a little sacrifice on the port (1 the ratepayers there should be no objection. He had no. hesitation in declaring that he was going to vote for the by-law, and he felt that the ratepayers generally should cordially endorse the loan in order to make manifest to all their confidence in the stability and future growth of one of Lindsey’s leading industries. Mr Joseph Staples, member of the sohcol board. made a brief but exâ€" tremely convincing speech in support of the loan.

Bio doubt some 3261' speaker would-refer to that mat- Another ratepayer had said to him, “Mr. Sylvester, when he gets the money, will skip out, and as his prop- erty given as security is only worth $15,000 the town will be out 85,000."

Sylvester. next speak- explained his views town hall meeting, but supposed that as a l ratepayer inthe east ward he would be justified in taking up a. little of their, time. He was present as scitisen of the town and as alarge ratepayer. It had been asserted that- he was supporting the loan because he had “an axe‘ to grind”; the remark was unworthy of consider- ation, but he would give it a flat de- nial. 1t had. also been said that he was acting in the interest of the bank. ‘Zl‘hat also was an untruth. If sound objections could be urged against the loan they should be made at the meet- ings called for the dmcussion of the subject; those who dissemrnated re- ports in secret which they were afraid to make at a. public meeting were not: ing the part or unworthy citizens. He had every respect for honest opposi- tion, whether in business, politics or religion. (Applause) At the meet- ing in the town hall he had explained very fully why Mr. Sylvester appealed to the town in preference to a bank or a loan company, and Mr. Staples' ex- cellent speech had rendered the matter easy of understanding. In his Opinion the future would witnes the rapid spread of that method of aiding sound industries tomeet the demands of their growing trade, and it was in every way preferable to the bonus system. . Ratepayers should link at Mr. Syl- vester’s request in a broad light. He had heardone man say “Oh, he is get- ting $2,000 a year in exemptions." Well, when Mr. Sylvester came hem 16 years ago they gave him a. piece of property on condition that he would build a factory and employ 20 hands; to-day in his large block of buildings he employs five times the number of hands sufficient to gain exemption from taxes, in addition to having erected a number of houses on which he pays 8150 or 8200 per year in taxes. It is not British fair play to hound a. man who has done more than he agreed to do. If an outsider offered to establish an industry here, to employ half as many hands as Sylvester Bros. have been employing, it was exceedingly probable that the citizens would read- ily grant the loan Mr. Sylvester was asking. .\Vith Mr. John Kennedy he had carefully gone over the firm's books for five years; he could pleQe his .reputation that Mr. R. Sylveaer was in a. sound financial parition toâ€"dsy, and taking in a large amount written off for depreciatirm and bad debts he was onset the wealthiest men in town. ,What were the risks in granting the loan? If the town became liable for thewholeamuntthecostonsw of assessment would be only 500 per year. Towns all around were offering bonuses to such industries; Believille the other day offered a bonus of 850,- 000 to a carpet factory employing not nearly aslmany hands as Mr. Sylvester. In case the loan was refused Mr. Syl- vester would probably go into liquida- tion. accept a good offer from another town or city, and remove his machinery. , It should not be forgotten that Mr. Sylvester was performing a valuable service by taking young men into his establishment and turning them out skilled mechanim. When 0 (Mr. Elev- elle) heardgtésnigeaffter the town hall meeting t. a t irm were yl starving wageshe had gone t £65??- vester and had asked to he s own the eâ€"iist.

That was quite true, and it was equally true that the poor man could not pay his until Mr. Flavelle or m other employer of labor ave him the money. (Applause) In is we everyone in town was interested in r. Sylvester's business, and if it increased it would be to the advantage of all, while if it failed owing to the lam being refused every citizen would suffer, and the working man most of all. The site given to Mr. Sylvester was not it great inducementâ€"he had per- sonally offered. the old paper mill prop- erty to any manufacturer who would locate here and empldy town men but the. offer had not been accepts be- cause at her towns were giving hénuses.

The day the Sylvester worn left Lindsay would be a sorrowful one for merchants, prop- erty-owners and working men.

Half-e- dozen new industries like Sylvester's, and Flavelle’s, and the Bathbun 00., would soon place the town in a grand Mr. Hugh O'Leary was the next speaker.

In like ways the money paid by 1121'. Syl- vester to his employees reached the pockets of every man in town. (Ap- plause.) . In answer to Mr. Fee, Mr. O'Leary said the mortgage to be given by Mr. Sylvester as security for the loan would actually cover everything of M r. Sylvester was or might he messed. They had been told that Mr. Sylves- ter was in an exceptionally souml fin- ancial prsition, and that was true. so had no hesitation in admitting theme was a mortgage on Mr. Sylvester's re- sidence, but it was allowed to remain as a matter of choice, because the money was worth more to him in the business. People said the factory and plant was not worth muchâ€"well, if it not why did he not pack up and go where he could get a cash barns! The works were worth $40,000 at a fair val- uation. Mr. Sylvesterwas only bound to employ 20 menâ€"would the town be willing to allow him to cut down his staff to 20 men to-dayf The citizens had witnessed a small on of Deering machinery last summer; if Mr. Sylvester’s output for the first eight months of this year was loaded in simi- lar fashion it would reach frun Lind- say to Peterboro. Were the citizens willing to loss the works and have the procession reach from Pcterboro to Linrbayl The men to whom Mr. Syl- vester paid over $20,“ per year rented houses and purchased an plies in the east ward, as well as at r ports of the town.
