If the river is widened and made

j will be a strong inducement to manu-
; factor era to locate on the stream to
[have advantage of the low freight
rates that will lie made possible.
It was recalled while Mr. Nickell
was here that the river was at one

time used for transportation. When
reason for the selection of the site
was that it was that it was at the
