The totals of the exports are over 02.000.000.000 and were John Randolph alive today, he would find something in the refuta- tion of his pessimism that we trust Vwould compensate him for his mis— take—although he never took refu- .tntlon of any sort kindly.

It is intimated that '\ SENTINEL READERS’ VIEWS ::: The Sentinel will be pleased to re- ceive letters for publication, from its readers. under the above heading. A brief and to-the-point communication, as a general proposition. carries more weight and conviction than a lengthy one in which the ‘argument is not concentrated. We do most emphatic- ally suggest brevity. Long—winded ar- ticles, we have observed. are the last to be read, and are many times avoid- ed altogether. INDUCEMENTS ARE NEEDED. Editor Evening Sentinel: In reply to Mr. F. A. Smith‘s letter in The Sentinel of Saturday. February 2nd, concerning the natural advan- tages and municipal facilities of South Norwulk, the writer begs leave to say that he cordially endorses Mr. Smith‘s vicwa thus expressed as to such advan. tnges and facilities. isouth Norwalk has. truly, many points of advantage from a natural and municipal standpoint, which ought to draw manufacturing interests here without other inducements. Our prox- imity to New York city, Ollli‘ unexcelled water supply, our magnificent munici- pal electric lighting plant. these with ‘ a good harbor and our shore resorts at the foot of the hills. overlooking the beautiful islands of the Sound, make out city and town almost unpar- allel lii‘iiatural facilities. “Nevertheless. it is true that in spite of all these attractions. new industries are, not coming here to any great ex- tent, and the only logical way of no counting for it, is because other cities offer special inducements which we are either unwilling or unable to offer. if our city and towu is to assume its proper station in the industrial world and live up to the high standard of its natural facilities. individual citizens must make some slight financial sacri- fice for the general welfare of the whole community. We should not forget that a city has just as much competition in trying to attract new industries? as a merchant has in getting new customers. in order to get these new industries. so much desired by all, we must (1) advertise extensively and continually our natural and municipal attractions; (2) offer some. special inducements to manufacturing concerns wishing to lo cate here, and which. an investigation are found to be sound financially. Other cities offer inducements if) new industries and we must keep step with the procession or drop out of the line. . During thevpasi year or two. several niaiiul'ucturln;,r concerns could have been indnccd to locate here if our Board of Trade had been in posses- sion of sufficient funds to erect factor- ies suited to their rental, and which could b“ leased at a fair rental. Under by-la‘ws oi‘ ourufioard oi’ 'Drade one-half of the money received for the dues is set aside as a fund with which to purchase factory sites. The dues are only $3.00 a year and if a few thousand of our citizens would simply pay annual dues in our organization for a few years, we would soon have a fund large enough to buy. land for tact- ory sites and perhaps enough to build a factory or two. According to the Norwich Bulletin. a. considerable sum of money is being raised in Norwich by popular sub-scrip- tion- for the purpose of offering special inducements to The Thermos Bottle Company to locate its plant in that city. This concern would have come to South Norwalk if We had been willing to offer similar inducements. if Norwich can do this. why can't we? We invite all citizzens who are in- terested in the welfare and progress of our city and town, to join our Board of Trade and help make the wheels of industry hum. NEHEMIAH C'ANDEE. President South Norwalk Board of Trade. THE CITY DOCK. Editor Sentinelz—Do the people of the city want a dock or do they not? It seems to me that the majority of the people want a dock. There are many owners of small boats, especial- ly fishermen and others who go down the harbor. Have they any place to land along the shore without tree . passing on private property? Would not they appreciate the privilege of a doclt‘? I am one o: tho-kickers for. a , dock! Build your bridge it you will. but let that extensive park so until ithe next 100 years. But give us the' dock every time. . ANDREW N. TAYLOR. Woodward avenue. [afflvltffl 1-.
