Mr. McLaughlin said the company | would spend the first year $150,000 | | and from that they expected to grow | as chemical industries have a ten- dency to group.

Replying to questions, Dr. At- "ack said a water front was needed | for the water to be utilized In the ! plant, for barges when required, and that ! to get rid of waste material would quickly neutralize and do no harm. and forty workmen who will be trained the first year, and about one | Wages | $20 to $30 per | hundred the second year. will range from week, Canon J. W. Jones the company, The Motor Pump By-Law. James Armstrong, fire chief, pre- sented the arguments for the pas- sage of the by-law calling for an ex- | penditure of $16,000 for a motor | pump, After stating that the water pres- | ! sure at the hydrants was not suffi- clent for fighting fires, he dealt with the present pumping equipment. "It ! is today less than in 1908 when we | had three engines, the Monarch, | Merryweather and the Chatham.

To ---------------------------------- ! . . i ES --------------------. | i {cals and Kingston was chosen be- | cause Queen's University is here. | | There has been laid down as a per-| | manent policy governing the city {industries committegs that the city's | bonus shall consist of a free site, a {railway siding and exemption from taxes, except school taxes, which are based upon a fixed assessment, in the present case the fixed assessment | "The lot owned by the city was not | front, SO it was necessary to pur- ase the Richardson lot at $12,000. The price asked was $15,000, but after negotiations it was reduced to $12,000. This will give the com- pany five and three-fifths acres. The rallway siding is already 'on the property, so that the city is saved the expense of putting one in. "The company agrees in the first two years to expend on buildings $50,000, in thé first year $25,000 and the city will then deed them the land. If they fail, they lose all ex- emptions. After spending $25,000 they do not get the deed unless they have on hand $100,000 ready to do business." Replying to the statement that the city's interests were not being protected with respect to the land, the speaker said the company would not accept by agreement without the title to thé land. "The present bulldings of the old smelter com- pany are mot suitable and the com- pany will build. Buildings are the key to the whole industrial situation. At present the land pays in taxes to the city $174 per year. The com- pany will pay $325 in school taxes, $425 in garbage taxes, which, with Income taxes, will bring the city over $1,000 per year as against $174 now received! upon the vacant land." "It must be remembered that our taxes rise because Kingston is not a growing city, while its expenditures wcontinue to grow yearly--increases by the board of works, fire depart- ment and schools. The schools now cost $209,000 per year. Modern improvements go on all the and how are we going to raise the money ? Only by raisi the assess- mat, unless we encourage industries that will bring more people to help pay the taxes. Bring in industries with technical workmen who will build homes and we will 'get the taxes." A ---- Company Members. Elmer Davis, in introducing the members of the company, said they were all men with sound financial backing, technical ability and busi ness experience. Dr. Atack was an engineer, Mr. Waterworth a practl- cal man in the chemical industry, and Mr. McLaughlin was a member of the lumbering firm of McLaugh- lin Bros., Arnprior, holding large capital. He was vice-presiden: of six companies and a director in eleven 'more. Mr. Waterworth said he was direc tor of the National Drug and Chemi- cal Company. He explained scme of the reasons for the company coming to Kingston. "We don't come beg- ging, but in response to an invita- tion," sald he. "It is a business proposition and we think that we have something worth while for Kingston." : Mr. Waterworth directed attention to the chemical industry as a crea | send the steamer 'today without two be more men.

If we get the | motor pump there will be no need to increase the force." ! Discussing the dairy school, Syd- enham hospital Finkle Livery and Davis Tannery fires, he said: "There TEDDIES-- Made of Silk Crepe de Chene, Satin, in pretty shades of Flesh or White. Narrow ribbon straps, sertion trimmed. Priced $3.50 to $9.00. a fine Val. Lace and In- wowld have been less loss if we had had the pumping engine on hand. In these cases we could have saved thousands of dollars. The dairy school fire did not look as if the engine punip was needed and the fire knees.

Priced at $2.50 to $7.50. include Flesh, White, Navy, Peach, Green spread through the partitions be- fore we knew it. Had the pump been on the ground--and in my Judgment it was not needed as we were apparently holding the fire -- we could have saved the school." "The new motor pump will do BOUDOIR CAPS-- Made in attractive styles of Georgette Crepe and Lace, al- finished with dainty rosebuds and fancy rib- bon. All shades. Priced 98c. to $2.50. so Satin and Lace, away with horses and save adding to the force. There will be a sav- ing of $500 per year in favor of the motor pump. Horses cost $551 per year per team while the Reo truck we now have cost for maintenance $219, leaving out of consideration $694 for repairs resulting from a collision. We will do away with two horses at once and later four horses. Some say we can't do away with borses, but they did so in Ottawa and borrowed farmers' horses by paying their keep during the win- ter." Answering questions the chief said the motor was not a four-wheel drive. (Continued on Page Three.)
