Mr. Ford offered the following reso lution which passed : Resoled, That a committee of one from each ward, to which His Honor the Mayor be added, be authorised to confer with the Augusta Manufacturing Company, with regard to the purchase of the Augusta Manufacturing Mills and appurtenances ; also, to negotiate for. and if desirable, effect a re-sale of the same, and report their action to Council. , . The chair appointed Messrs, blodget. Dye, Ford, and Keener that Commit tcc. The following report was made by that committee,which was received and adopted : . . The committee appointed to confer with a committee from the Augusta Manufacturing Company in relation to the purchase by Council of the mills machinery and other interests of said company, and a re-sale of the same, respectfully. REPORT : That they have had a conference with the committee of said Augusta Manu facturing Company, and submit the following as the lesult: The Augusta Manufacturing Compa ny will sell their entire interest to the City Council of Augusta for the sum of one hundred and forty thousand dollars ($140,000)— the bonds and interest there upon of said company amounting to the sum of one hundred and seven thousand dollars to be received in parj payment, and the remainder of the purchase money to be paid in city bonds. The city of Augusta to release said company from all liability for taxes and water rent, up to the date of the trans ' fer of the property; and the Augusta Manufacturing Company to dismiss all suits now in progress, and release all rights of actiou which may have ac crued against the city ou account of any failure under the contract now of force to furnish certain supplies of wa ter. Upon enquiry, your committee find that city bonds, having from one to ten years to run, can be exchanged for the , outstanding bonds of the Augusta Man ufacturing Company. Your committee also report that re sponsible parties are now ready and willing to purchase the property above named from the City Council of Augus ta, for the sum of one hundred and for ty thousand dollars, the payment to be made so as to meet the liabilities which the City Council may incur in the pur chase, the payments to be secured by mortgage upon the property and trans fers of insurance policies, upon condi tion that the City Council will exempt them for a term of years from the pay ment of taxes on said propeity and from water rent. Your committee have no hesitation in recommending to Council the pur chase of the said property, upon the conditions specified, and we are unani mously of opinion that it will be for the best interest of the city to consummate the anaiigement at the the earliest pos sible period. The stake Augusta has in the success of the manufacturing inter est- to make which interest prosperous, and prosperity permanent, she has been at so great an outlaj of money— is too large to he trifled with by those to whose guardianship it has been confi ded. From that measure for which in its inception so much was prophesied, has actually resulted as yet nothing of considerable advantage to our people. From whatever source this ill success has proceeded —whether from disastrous speculation or bad management, it is notour duty enquire at this time, though r those into whose hands the property 1 shall fall, might find a profitable result from such an investigation. It is our duty to endeavor to re invigorate tli# declining prosperity of every branch of industry in our rniest, and to encourage j, to its greatest capacity the prosecution I of every enterprise which has fur it.! object the commercial advancement of our citizens. Under the arrangement for the purchase of this property, which for so long a time has been unproduc tive, we are relieved from the defense of a suit or series of suits, which, whatev er the result may be, can but subject us to excessive trouble and great expense. With tliis vexations litigation settled, and the guarnty under which it proceeds stricken from any future contract we may make with other parties, we can discover no reason to fear further diffi culty on this subject. Your committee feel satisfied that the citizens of Augusta will at once perceive the expediency—not to say the necessi ty—of (lie adoption of the policy re commended. We can at least lose nothing by this course, and in a ques tion of loss, the shortest point at which we can stop is the one most beneficial. The advantages we shall gain by simp ly striking out the guarantee under which we are now harrassed, and upon] which the arbitration agreed upon, by j the City Council and the Manufactur-! iug Company, have reported unfavora ble to that city, would alone cotnpen-' sate us for all the expense we could pos sibly incur by the purchase. Under' other management, and with the in creased facilities, and what is of far greater consequence to triumph, the additional zeal brought to a project by new and fresh hands, who have not had their ardor dampened by a long contest with ill success, the commercial and in-j dustrial parsui’s of our city would, be- 1 yond doubt, receive an impetus which would speedily quicken into renewed, life, the general prosperity of our city. You); committee, therefore, recommend the adoption, by Council, of the fol lowing resolution: Resolved, That His Honor, the Mayor, j be authorised and instructed to pm chase the mills, machinery, and otherj interests of the Augusta Manufacturing Company, and re-sell the same upon the conditions specified in the foregoing re port. F’osteu Bloiiget, Ju., ] J. M. Dye, j Louis D. Foiiu, [• Committee.j W. V. Keener, B. Conley. The following communication from His Honor the Mayor, was read, receiv-j . ed, and ordered spread upon the min-! utes : . To (he Cilg Council of Augusta : In pursuance of the resolution of the City Council, authorising the Mayor to ; purchase the real estate, mills, and ma : chinery, of the Augusta Manufacturing Company, I entered into negotiations ■ with the directors of said company, which resulted in my purchasing the : property. &e., for the sum of one bun dred and forty thousand (8140,000) dol lars, payable in the bonds of the u City Council of Augusta, In equal amounts, annually,running from one to ten years, with interest, payable semi-annually,on the first of January and first of July. Acting under the same resolution, I opened negotiations with sundry per sons, for the purpose of disposing of the same property, and effected a sale to Messrs. Edward Thomas,George M. New ton, H. 11. Cumming, Thomas Barrett, B. H, Warren, C. J. Jenkins, W. M. D’Antignac, James Hope, G. W. Evans, G. T. Dortic, G. W. Summers, W. A. Beall, W. E. Jackson, and Lambeth : Hopkins, who have formed themselves into a company, under the Btyle of the ’ “ Augusta Factory.” The sum obtain , ed was one hundred and forty thousand (140,000) dollars,in equal annual instal ments of fourteen thousand ($14,000) dollars, interest payable semi-annually. The various papers, annulling the former contract with the new contracts, ! bonds, mortgages, &c., have been duly recorded,in the office of the Clerk of the ■ Superior Ceurt, and are, also, on file , in the Clerk of Council’s office, to i which I beg leave more particularly to i refer. I believe the best interests of the ci ty have been promoted by the purchase and re-sale of the property in question and I hope that the new purchasers i may realise for themseves, and for the ■ city, all the good results which was an : ticipated from the enterprise when first undertaken.
