There was a magnificent attend- ance of citizens at the mass meeting called last evening by His Worship Mayor Wood to consider the Fitzsimi- mons automobile bylaw. The meeting was a splendid success. There- was the right ring about it, and there was not a single voice raised in opposi- tion to the bylaw, which will be vot- ed upon on Sept. 24th. The citizens are alive to the fact that in the Fitz- simmons concern they have an indus- try that means much to the indus- ‘trial growth of Lindsay. Mass Meeting of Citizens Unanimously Endorse The Fitzsimmons Automobile Industry Byâ€"law His Worship Mayor Wood occupied the chair, and in a neat speech ex- plained the objects of the meeting, and emphasized the importance of the industry which was asking cer- tgin concessions from the town. Ev- ery citizen should heartily support the bylaw. JOHN O'REILLY Mr. J. O’Reilly said that he felt the position of Lindsay keen-1y. This was the first results of the;labors oi the Industrial Commission after eight months. He gave a history of the Industrial Commission's work as well as the faithful service rendered by Mr. Rudkins, Industrial Commisâ€" sioner. The Fitzsimmons proposition was a good one, with chances of gain gréatly in favor of the town. If the town loses it, it gives itself a black eye. Mr. Rudkins and the Industrial Commission impressed the Fitzsim- ffions firm with the importance of the town: as an industrial centre and they decided to locate here. The by- law asked for a loan of $12,000 and the firm would put up a substantial building on the old Sennitt property. They also ask for tax exemption, which was a small matter. The loan asked wasfor a period of 12 years. There was no chance of the industry failing. The members of the firm were energetic and the industry had great possibilities ahead of it. Every citi- zen should inspect the temporary plant in the old Central school and the prospects were most encouraging. They were handicapped at present for space and needed larger quarters. They had orders ahead on a large scale, and the possibilities of the industry were great. Mr, Fitzsim- mans explained the extent of the manufacture of automobile bodies throughout America. There was a great demand for the article. They see the busy hive ohindustry. It is up to the citizens to endorse the work of the Commission. ONE OF THE FIRM SPEAKS Mr. F-itzsimmons explained that the industry was in running order, and had an order for 200 bodies. painted!‘ and trimmed, which would necessi- tate the employment of s stafi of painters. They were now working on a large order for limousines. the most expensive car made. The firmi has made bodies for the Russell firm; for three years. They had fourteenl or fifteen men employed at present. . ‘White or grey ash is used in the‘ manufacture of the bodies. Soft ma- ple and elm was also used.- THE BYLAW EXPLAINED, Mr. D. Flavelle said that they could not make a definite promise toI the firm while in Cannington be- cause it was contrary to law. Othert towns were also after them and then Industrial Commission felt that the firm was safe in coming to Lindsay as the citizens would endorse any reasonable proposition. Mr. Flavelle then explained some of the features} of the bylaw and said that the only risk run was in the loan of $12,000. We would, however, get valuelfor our? money. These two young men came‘ to Cannington two years ago with, less than $500. They built up'an in- dustry and accumulated $5,000 in pro- fits and now deal with the leading auto industries in Canada. They had no pull or influence, but their own ‘ hands and brains, and today have more orders than they can fill. They are employing more men today than the McLaughlin Carriage Co., of Osh- awa when they first started. The risk run is a minimum risk. The tOWn has a factory that is most successful and that is_turning aWay orders. The recent large order received will reâ€" quite the employment of a large stafi of menâ€"body builders and painters and trimmers. If the bylaw was turn- ed down it would be useless to try and secure any other industry. It re- quires two thirds of the qualified vot- ers to pass the bylaw, and if on Sept. 24th the citizens endorse the proposition they strengthen the hands of the Industrial Commission and secure.a good industry for the. town. If another site could be secured Mr. Flavell-e said he would be better pleased, but the firm was anxious to get into larger quarters immediately The security for guaranteeing the loan is the building, grounds and machinery. In answer to a query Mr. FlaVelle said they were getting a free gift of the site.~ Skilled labor is employed ‘- by the firm and the highest wages He hoped thanthe' bylaw would carâ€" {late paid. ry by a. good majority on Sppt. 24th. on with the Fitzsimmons firm. The industry was a good one, with splen- did possibilities. The goods turned out was in great demand. They paid the highest wages and every man‘ was a skilled mechanic. Mr. Carew told of the efiorts made by Peterboro to try~and secure the industryHOiti- zens of the Electric City were pre: pared to put money into the pl-ant‘ because they vnew its value. The ci- tizens should rally in support of the bylaw, because this industry meant a great deal for Lindsay. JOS. STAPLES FOR B-YLAW Mr. J. Staples felt satisfied that the firm was composed of reputable lcharacter. The site question was a Lmere bagatelle. The firm would bring in skilled mechanics who would help to make up the taxes. He would sup- iport the bylaw and felt that the 'south ward would also do its duty on election day. JAS. GILDOGLY SPEAKS Mr. Jas. Gillogly was in favor of ‘the bylaw. He had heard good re- lports of the firm, who were men of ability and worth. He believed that Ieverybody intended supporting the ! bylaw. EAST WARDER SPEAKS Mr. W. B. Fee said he could enâ€" dorse all that had been said. He visited the plant and was shown through by the proprietor, who was working at the bench. He found high classwork turned out and had spok- en to the proprietor regarding a lo- cation in the 'east ward. He visited the ward and was impressed with its advantages. He pointed out a park site ,which he would give if an indus- try was secured. Mr. Fee was willing to go down in his pocket to help the industry and he hoped others would do likewise. ANOTHER SUPP-OBTER Mr. Jas. Graham said he was in favor of the proposition. He had ev- ery confidence in the firm, the mem- bers of which had good reputations.

THOMAS FLUREY The death took place at Peternoro on Wednesday afternoon of Thomas Flurey. a well known resident of Lindsay. The deceased is survived by three brothers, Messrs. John, James and Joseph Flurey of Lini- say. EDWARD RINGLAND Conductor 'fhos. Ringland has re- ceived the sad intelligence of the death of his brother, Edward Ring- land, who passed away at McLeod, Alberta on Aug. 25th. The deceased was a former resident of Eldon township, and has resided in the west for fourteen years. He is sur- vived by a. wife and one child. His remains were interred at Killa may Manitoba. BARN DESTRUCTION The many thunder storms we ha" had this summer have resulted in ‘h- destruction by fire of a great many barns. These outbuildings were hit by lightning oftener than the dwellâ€" ing houses, for the reason, it‘ is said. that a column of moist warm gases rising from the’barn full of heating hay attracts the lightning. That may or may not be the cause; but the fact remains that the barns are of- ‘J (v pass through these to the earth. Twenty or thirty years ago there were many of these; but some of the dealers were so negligent in install- ing them that they actually were the means of setting fire to many barns, and for that reason they are now seldom seen. Properly installed they would unquestionably be of great ser- vice. It has been suggested that light- ning rods should be placed upon the barns so that the electricity may The best protection is said to be a metal roof with strips of the metal carried down the corners of the barn and sunk deep .in the earth. This would be well worth trying and the expense of ‘it is only very little greater than a. roof of shingles. The losses to: barns and contents as a re- sult of fire must be very great and it would certainly pay the farmer to spend a- little more on his buildings if by that means he can be secure from lightning.â€"Kingstou Standard. JUDGE MCINTYRE Whitby Chronicle; His Honor Judge McIntyre is of the opinioa that the public school pupils, in the higher forms particularly, have too many subjects of study. His little daughter of ten had twelve subjects to study before the midsummer holidays, and on returning to school on rl‘uesday of this week, her books werelso numerâ€" ous that she was not able to carry them all. His Honor believes that if the subjects were fewer the pupils wodld become more proficient in some of them at least, but with the number thzy have to deal with pro- ficiency in any one subject is well nigh impossible. There may be a good deal in His Honor’s contention but those who are devoting their lives to teaching should be more com- petent to decide this point than those who do not make a. study of educational matters. However, His Honor’s observation leads him to think that many pupils who: are forc- ed to leave school at the end of the public schoolcourse, or even with a year or two in the high school, are not in any one subject sufficiently proficient and accurate to inspire either themselves or others with con- fidence. Whether the fault lies with the Pupils or in the curriculum of the schools, opinions might difier. Examiner: The news will be recexv- ed with general pleasure that Sir Wilfrid Laurier will include Peter- horo in the itinerary of his Ontario tour, and with Hon. G. P. Graham will address a mass meeting here on October 1st. Mr. G. N. Gordon re- ceived word to this effect this after- noon. Further announcement will be made in a few days.
