The meeting held lust evening at vailed that hasty action at this time Mourned for a period of forty day
might prove costly and disastrous in
the end. Under all these circum
stances It was thought best to let
the affair rst for a brief period be
fore trying to run it through.
Mr. J. P. Falter after this matter
had been disposed of brought up the
matter of organization of a Commer
cial Club the object of which would
be the upbuilding of the city and its
industries
The suggestion met with instant fa-

vestigation committee, was excellent
ly attended and much enthusiasm
was manifested at the pronpects for
getting the plant. Probably one of
the largest meeting of the kind ever
held in the city when numbers are
considered marked this second meet
lng.
Hon. R. U. Windham who presided
at thw former meeting called this as
blage together and remarked upon
. the splendid turnout of the people
and the good omen which such an at
tendance ineuut. lie also spoke at
length upon the feasibility and bene
fits of the proposed plant and pointed
out many things which he had learn
ed since the previous meeting which
strengthened his faith In the pro
ject. The report of the investigat
ing committee was next presented
This lommittee which consisted of
Messrs V.. K. Wescott. C. C. Par-
tnele. Frank K. Schlater. PhilipThier-
olf and Julius Pitz made their report,
which has been heretofore published
In the Journal. It provided for the
control of the funds raised for the
building and equipment of the plant
and the control of a major portion
uf the Ktock by the committee until
the proposed bonded indebtedness of
the company was wiped out. The de
tails had been mapped out by the com
mittee in such a manner that the re
sult t mild not help but be satisfactory
to these who figured upon investing
their money.
W. W. Coates, however, proceeded
to stale some facts which showed that
nt the present moment the project
could not be put through. It was not
tn account of lack of capital or on
account of the unfeasibility of the
project but rather because of an un
satisfactory state of affairs disclosed
during his Investigations in the east.
While there was nothing detrimental
to the personal integrity or ability
l Mr. T. H. Roberts, the promoter
of the affair disclosed in the investi
gation, there were certain peculiari
ties which might make trouble for
the concern and this it was proposed
to avoid. To this end it was sug
gested that further time be taken in
organizing the plant and that other
parties be consulted as to the the
active management of it. In no sense
was the project dropped nor even
postponed for any considerable length
of time, but only until such time as
the right man could be obtained to
take hold of it.
Others also cited certain facts dis
closed by letters which they had writ
ten which did not meet with their i earnest
to secure service upon him by publi
cation. This makes the date of hear
lng for January 6, 1909.
