Mr. Chas, Anderson, manager of the tannery, corroborated the Mayor's statement, and said that au average of abont twenty-eight men were employ- ed at the tannery the yearround. The Company proposed paying the whole of the taxes on the fixed avsesement, they having formerly been exempt, ex- cept from achool rate.
