We Want a Cannery, But

WE DON’T WANT TO BUY A PIG IN A SACK. Win. the party mentioned last week as having written in regard to the location of a canning establishment, was in town Friday, In regard to the matter, and in consultation with some leading citizens. He states his plan to be to .put up a $15,000 which wifi work from 200 to 400 hands. It will put up the staple canned geode, such as corn, tomatoes Ac., during their season, and othet times work on soups, chickens Ac. > He wants a bonus of half the alleged cost of the plant, or $7,500, payable one-third when the building material is on the ground, one-third when tbe building is enclosed and one-third wheb it is finished. He will give no guarantee of remaining and operating the plant for any definite period of time. Our citizens thought that Mr. Vigerus’ proposition was rather a one-sided affair, but when he went away it was with an intimation that be would write and make a modification of his terms. Before our citizens raise this very large bonus they ought to be sure that the p!ant will really be as costly and extensive as promised and to have some reasonable assurance that it will be operated for at least a few years, and also that they are not paying more than an equally good estab. lishment could be got for from othe parties.
