In a subsequent letter, dated Dec. 19. the company's secretary said “Until we get round Oshawa. we do not wan't to negotiate: with any other town." Yesterday daily mpers contained the information that the peeple of Oshawa he ve come to the assistance of the com- pany with an offer of. a. loan of 850,- 000 without interest, to be repaid. in. annual instalments, and the company. will rebuild there on a larger scale than before. the factory,’as planned. being 700x50 feet. and three storeys high if other citizens were as zeul- one in this direction as Mr. Mellon.
