CONTRACT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED General Manderson of Omaha , Attor ney for the American Beet faut. Company , and General Mansner Howe , Were In Norfolk. Donors to the beet sugnr factory 'n Norfolk are to receive , as a corpora tion in which every man who gave shall hold shares in proportion to his donation , the title to the big building that shelters the present plant , the boilers and the 240 acres of land that were given fourteen years ago. This has been determined by members of the guarantee committee who met in the ofllce of A.J.Durland , with General Manager Howe of the American Beet Sugar company , and General Mender- son , attorney for that company. The flrst contract which was drawn up was not quite satisfactory to the sugar representatives , in that it did not place personal responsibility upon the donors for any suits or damages with which the company might meet. General Manderson suggested that the donors , as a corporation , take title to the property and this has been deter mined upon. The contract has been sent for sig natures now.
