Site On Water Street Is Fav- ored —— Will C 0 st $200,000 PLAN SUGGESTED Roodner Believes That Board of Trade and Merchants Should Finance Structure A large out‘of-town factory with a weekly pay-roll of between $15,000 and $20000 is seeking a location here and favors the old Crofut 8x. Knapp site on Water street. it was learned today. A minimum of 150,000 square feet will be required by this manu- facturer. Men only are to be em- ployed in the factory. it is under. stood. The type of building. which has been suggested. would be i‘our- stor- ies in height. of concrete. fire-proof construction and would cost in the neighborhood of 3200.000. The man who is representing the factory in the negoitatlon is a New Rocheele resident. He has had sev- ‘eral conversations with Mr. Reed- ner pad is expected here again late this afternoon. , Mr. Roodner is convinced of. the serious purpose of those back of the undertaking and strutting to lend it all possible encouragement and suport. Discussing the matter to- day. he said: "The Board of Trade. assuming active leadership among the mer- chants. might. undertake to erect this factory, Every lanai merchant should own a brick in the structure. for with a new and large pay-roll added to the city he will directly profit. , “One plan which suggests itself is to pay for building the i‘actOry with a. bond issue or a prcfcrrcd mortgage. “I own the site and would bewill- ing to sell it for just what is cost me and also would invest several thousand dollars in the bonds or the mortgage which would finance the building. “The rent the manufacturer is prepared to pay is an equitable one and would be bassed on the cost of the factory. » "It should be possible to rent all space, above the 150.000 square feet sought to other concerns. Iknow ofJone company which could use twice the floor space it now occu- pies. if a sitauble location 'were found. and the proposed building would be suitable. "Here is a matter for cooperative community enterprise. If the bene- fits to the individual merchant and business man are fully appreciated. there should be no difficulty in fin- ancing the building through the leadership of the Board of Trade." Between 300 and 400 men would be employed in the new factory. it is said. and figuring on the low average of four to the family this would mean an increase in popula- tion of approximately 1200. ____________..__._ DEMOLAY BASKETBALL.

Each of those who participated did remark- ably well and if this service may be accepted as a criterion much good work will be accomplished. The. young women endeavor to live their religion by remembering the shut-ins with flowers and can- ned fruit and in general leading lives which may influence others for good.

School influence may be thought of in three ways namelygdhc influence of one pupil upon another, the influence of tho teacher upon the pupil and the in- fluence of the school upon the pu- pil. Someone may ask. "How can one pupil influence another?" A great deal. It may be unconscious- lly but the unconscious facing does much good and unfortunately much evil.
