Mr. A. M. Castle ) mt, and Mr. E. W. Shirley of he International Engineering Corpoâ€" :nuou addressed the Council and ‘stated that they are desirous of local-l *Amg a factory in Waterloo, providing &q receive . sufficient encounge-‘ hl. ‘The company are mlnuhctnr-l ers of erude oil engines, the same ‘type of engine being in great demand in the United States, hundreds . of whHich have been sold. There are also many of these engines in use in Can-‘ *ada. The members of the Council were very favorably impressed with the ‘proposition after hearing it outlined by the representatives of the firm, who demonstrated the fine points of the engine. The Company propose to erect three buildings, size 150 x 50 _ feet each, on a fiveâ€"acre site, at a cost of $40,000 to $50,000, and instal in the > plant machinery to the value of about $50,000. The Company in turn are asking for a free site and ‘a loan of $15,000 érom the Town which will be repayable in fifteen years with interâ€" est. A committee comprising Coun: ‘eillor Bowman and President Bechtel of the Board of Trade, will go to Torâ€" onfo and see the engine demonstrated ard if they report favorably to the eourcil a byâ€"law will at once be preâ€" pared ard submitted to the electors for their approval early in May. As the new industry will not cost the "town a dollar outside of a free site the council believes the electors will carry the byâ€"law by a big majority. Will Employ 100 Hands. It was pointed out by Mr. Custle that the company will employ from 75 to 100 hands at the start., T hey proâ€" pose manufacturing engines of 3, 6 and 9 horsepower here. In Collegiate Board Will Now Require to Ask That Byâ€"Law be Submitted to Electors of High School District *‘ mbers Express Themâ€" selves in Favor of N ew School. After a discussion on the proposed new bollegiate and Techn cal School the.Waterloo Town Counc! on Thursâ€" day evening, by a vote of five to two, voted down a motion of Councillors Foster and Merkinger to vote a sum not exceeding $90,000 as Waterloo‘s shage to the proposed new Colleglate‘ and Technical School. It is now for} the Collegiate Board to take the next step. According to an opinion given by Town Solicitor J. C. Haight, the Board has the power to request the Coqg‘dl. of Kitchener and Waterloo to sibmit the question to the electors for Xheir pproval and if it carries by a majority in the two places the Councils may pass byâ€"laws voting the necessary money. The members of thofauncll were all in favor of a new Collegiate and better educationgl facâ€" ilitles, but did not approve of voting $75,000 to $90,000 without the assent TO#i COUNCL YOTES DOWN _ MOTION T# 5: ANT $90,000 FORPROPOSEE TOLLEGIATE of Sheâ€" electors. .

If the plant locates in Waterlop the Company will in later years enlarge their plant in order to manufacture engines up to 30 to 40 horse power, provided they receive the same encouragement here as they might obtain elsewhere. The engine is a labor saver and specially adapted forâ€"use in the rural districts where the farms are badly depleted of laborers who have gone to the farm. The sale of the engines has not been pushed in Canada, but in spite of this there is such a big demand that it is difficult to ‘keep pace with the orâ€" ders. Mr. E. W. Shirley also addgessed the: Council and said the company were deâ€" sirous of locating in Waterloo. They desired, however, to have the electors vote on the proposition as early as possible as they wanted to get the building of the plant under way with the least possible delay. The Ameri can plant was capitalized at millions of dollars and they ae meeting with great success, their product being in such demand that it is difficult to keep pace with the orders. He beâ€" lieved the plant they proposed . to build in Watetloo would go ahead rapâ€" idly and in years to come would be one of Canada‘s largest iron indusâ€" tries. On Friday the representatives were shown suitable sites for a factory in the West Ward with ample railway sidings. They will meet a commitâ€" tee of the Board of Trade and Counâ€" cil at Toronto on Monday, after which a report wifl be placed before the Counc‘‘ at the regular meefing on Tueclay evening. be ate and Technical School, and it was seconded by Councillor Merklinâ€" ger. Councillor Foster pointed out that there was an absolute need for a new Collegiate and if action was not taken soon, there was a possibility of the government grant being cut off on accou“l of the poor standard of the school As for the need of Technical School it was a matter of individual chQ!ce. Personally he was strongly in favor of technical training, having studied the question. He beâ€" lieved the Technical training would be the salvation; of the workingman in this country. < With the influx of Japâ€" anese and Chinese laborers and other foreigners the labor men would be in competition with this class. These foreigners come here, and as their standard of living is low, less than half that of the average workingman, they are ablée to work cheaper and thus are in keen competition with our Canadian citizen. The only way to overcome this is to measure brains against their %:nnual Tabor, and to do this we must save a technical school in order that the workingman may beâ€" come a skilled mechanic. Councilior Foster said he would support any reasâ€" onable grant to the new Collegiate. He questioned the advisability of deâ€" laying the erection of a new building for a year or two as in his opinion the cost of btilding would not come down for perhaps five years and the government may in the meantime withdraw government grants. The government at present offered to pay fifty per centâ€"of cost of building, but if the matter was delayed they might reduce the affer by twentyâ€"five per cent The cost of the proposed buildâ€" ing seemed excessive, but it must be remembered that labor and building material is also high. The only quesâ€" tion left in his mind is whether it should be submitted to the electors or left to the Council to vote necessary sum of moneys He did not think the ratepayers were very much concerned whether the question was submitted to them or decided by. the Council. The Council should be a leader of publ‘c opinion in the matter of public educaion and he referred to one town n O |a‘a where practically every sfi rec ved a high school education. vhis district is woefully behind in |ednrminn and many a bright boy or girl has failed to get a good position (hom ise they did not get one or two [ m:..~ years of sehooling. ; "ubmit Question to People. ! _ |‘oove Strow was of the opinion |inat a Collogiate ‘was needed but beâ€" Dressm Pn oi nedes en n ® qEERemENTCC ARMpenmm®s "ig 0 prinicg where you rheme, beal Setback.

In other places they have been successful in having cheques cashed for amounts up to $100 on‘ banks and merchants, the men signing the name to cheque of some well known citizen of the town or city visited. Local banks and merchants are warned to be on the lookout as $lese men are reported to be practising in western Ontario towns.
