nounced by Rcllingham Firm
B E LLING HAM, Wash., April 7.
-(AP.) Plans for a pulp and
paper factory near their large saw
mill, the ultimate cost of which
would be S5, 000, 000, were an
nounced today by J. H. Bloedel,
president of the BIoedel-Donovan
Lumber mills. The building of
the factory depends on the com
pany's efforts to obtain the site in
the harbor area south of their lum
ber mill and the assurance of suf
ficient water at reduced rates from
the city, said Mr. Bloedel.
The factory would be 700 feet
in length and have a daily capac
ity of 110 tons. It would give em
ployment to about 300 men, with
an additional 300 in the woods,
making an annual payroll of ap
proximately $100,000.
Waste products from the com
pany's mills Would be manufac
tured into finished paper products,

Huntley, collector of Internal rev
enue for this district, a ton and a
half of income tax returns from
the years 1918 to 1921 inclusive
were destroyed at the city Incin
erator today. The returns were
those filed by taxpayers reporting
on less than S5.000 income and
numbered 104. Sou.
The destruction order was re

cimes in excess of $5,000 were
forwarded to Washington, but the
others have been filed here. The
destruction was necessary in order
to clear up the files, Huntley said.

and that study would be continued
