Signed on behalf of the stu- dent body, Watson Kirkconnell, Harold Weldon. Mr. Miller is leaving for Winnipeg, and his departure will be a heavy loss to the athletic, military, and ac- ademic organizations of the local 001- iegiate. Dear Mr. Miller.â€" It is with deep regret that we have latelv learned of your decision to new er your connection with the I..C.I., During your stay here, you have been regarded with a deep and growing res pect, while your hearty co-operation with the organizations of the school, and your patient, far-seeing labors in the best interests of the student body have not gone unnoticed or unapprec- iated. It was with a sincere sense of our debt and obligation to you dur- ing your sojourn with us, that we, or set, coupled with the following ad “We will give security to the town in the shape of'a mortgage on the plant, machinery, tools, etc., for the loan, and it is nec- essary for us to make definite ar- rangements immediately.” Mr. Sylvester, in addressing the council, said that they were asking for a loan in order to manufacture the machines referred to. They could com- pete with any other similar machines made, either American or Canadian. There are only two Canadian firms making these machines, which are in great demand in the West. They were prepared to carry out the conditions mentioned in the letter as the ma- chines were good and the possibilities excellent. They preferred to remain in Lindsay and manufacture the goods. . Mr. Sylvester further stated that “â€"‘a and would expend $20,000 on build- ings and machinery and $30,000 in the business. They propose putting the rate of $10,000 per “We, of course, will have to buiid and equip a factory of large dimensions adapted to the manâ€" ufacture of the maclnzes we inâ€" tend to build, viz., auto threshers and ploughing engines. The build- ings would be so constructed that they could be enlarged as the cap- ital would admit, and we could employ 100 or possibly 200 hands within a year, as the demand for the machines in the Canadian West is unlimited and the outlook for the future very promising. “We would also ask you to grant us the privilege of running 9. Siding across Russell-st., con- necting with the present siding at I‘lavelle’s Coal shadyand we would also want af'ixed assessment on lots 13 and 18, north of Russell-st And ask for prices 3 Mr. Sylvester to harness himself to a proposition of this kind is a. serious move. If he has got to expend $30,000 on buildings, how is the money com- ing to finance the company if he has not a. bank behind him? Mr. Sylvester said he could float this business without the need of a bank. Mr. Carewâ€"If Mr. Sylvester had not a. good bank behind him after he got the loan, what was going to be the result? How will he get the mon- ey to maintain and finance it? If you have not the money to finance a con- cern, there is no hope for success. For Mr. LN. O'Connor, solicitor for Mr. Sylvester, said he had not gone into the matter to any extent. There was an immediate cash payment of 30 per cent. on the firm’s machine as soon as it is put out. The market and demand is sufiicient for the immediate return of this amount. If Mr. Sylves- ter has good paper and he runs short, he can get the money elsewhere. Mr. Flavelleâ€"The people are the ar- biters, and if Mr. Sylvester oan satis- fy them that he can turn over money with his plough and thresher and have it prove a permanent affair. they would entertain the proposition. Mr. Sylvester said he had a. con- ference with the John Deere Co..and Cockshut 00., and they had no desire to be tied up with any other agency. Ald. SmaLeâ€"Why not have a con- ference with the Cockshut Plow (30., who sell a great plow, which is in great demand in the West, and \try and sell your thresher to them? It would be an advantage to them to have a good traction. Mr. Sylvester said he would not ask the town for one dollar if he Was not on the right side. Mr. Fiavelle believed the plow was an assured fact. He suggested that Mr. Sylvester sell to a firm that will pay cash for his thresher and keep up the industry here. Divide up the proâ€" fits, said Mr. Flavelle, and sell it to those industries. Dep. Reeve Dobsonâ€"Could Mr. Syl- vester get $900 right in his hand if his machine was sold? In answer to Mr. Smale, Mr. Sylâ€" vester said about $20,000 additional would be required to manufacture the thresher. They had $51,000 of their own money. They could, with this capital, turn out 100 machines by April next. Mr. Flavelleâ€"“Why not use your energies to sell your machine to jobbers, if there is such a. profit in it? You would have no worry at all." â€"-‘Mr. Sylvesterâ€"“It is very easy to say “why" but if they won’t con sider the proposition it is an entire- ly different matter. Last year the thresber was used partly as an auto thresher. This was due to the shortage of help. The ma- chine could do as good work station- ary as the best of them. The machine is a farmers’ machine; when they are through threshing they can be used as a plough. Ald. Smaleâ€"If such arrangements couldbe made. would you be willing to deal with them? Mr. Sylvester said he was quite wil- ling to divide up his profits. It was finally decided to appoint a. committee of the council to confer ith the Industrial Commission when Mr. Sylvester would lay the financial aspect of the proposition before them. His Worship, Mayor Wood, Al-d. Horn and McWatters will rep esent the The firm feels the machine is doing the work. The people had no idea of the thresher as 75 per cent. of these machines would be built in five years’ time, as it will be the leading machine in the country. The plough- ing engine will likely be selling at a lower price in a few years, just like the automobile. council. RIVER WIDENED , RETAINING WALL WILL BE BUILT out twenty machines this season and are now on ten of them. They expect- ed to get sale for them this season. There are different kinds of engines made by their competitors. The ma- chines they made, would pull eight plows and handle an ordinary thresh- ing machine. Their firm has a ‘good standing in the West so that a great deal of money need not be spent in bringing the firm’s name be- fore the maple. Their machines cost $2,800. It runs 50 h.p. Word was received in town on Sat- urday from the Dept. of Railways and Canals to the effect that the width of the Scu‘gog River at its entrance from Sturgeon Lake wculd be increased fifty feet and the stnne that was now being taken from the bed of river by the 'dredge would be used in- the erection of a retaining wall at this point. This undertaking will no doubt prove of great benefit to navigation. 'Connor-“Yes, and it is real WHAT THE GIRLS SHOULD KNOW Miss Marjorie McMurchy of Toron- to, who is well known in this city, is the writer of a very clever article in the Canadian Courier based upon things that the girl of today should know. Miss McMurchy treats her sub- ject fearlessly, and goes eight -c the root of things. She makes the broad and sweeping statement that the gm of today is not taught the “blur: of money, nor is she given instru-zticn upon how to take care of fl.er health. ‘with the result that when she goes out in the world to make as: lzving she is not equipped with knowledge sufficient to insure her success. It is rather a bold assertion, but Miss McMurchy supports it with convin:â€" ing argument. It is right that the girls of today do not look as ser- iously upon life as they should.
