He read a letter sent by the Sapulding company to the city couaci! m October, 1916, mentioning that erection of a fac tory of sone sort was being contem plated. The alderman maintained that this communication was proof that the paper mill would go up whether the streets were deeded or not. ' Among other things he pointed out that the company had just pur chased three lots on the water f:ont at a price of $10,000 aad that the city i3. entitled to" a higher price for its property than it is receivink. Vandevort took up the thread of the argument by emphatically de claring, "I'm against this and you know it. I think this is a rotten deal and I've done the best I Know how to prevent Its passage. Future generations are going to cuss this couacil. I've lived here a long time and I know what the water front meanus to the city." Freest Submitted. Immediately after the roll call, which showed nme votes in favor of the ordinance and two against it. Smith presented letter of protest with the demand that it be inscribed in full on the minutes of the meet ing. ' Among other points th!3 men Honed-that the mill would be built even though the streets were not giv en up, that the streets and alleys north of Trade, had no connection with it and should not.be asked, that the mill would secure the only prac tical site for a. city dock and that a fenee would probably be put up around the property and preve.it ac cess I to tbe river except by way of Miss creek bridge.
