Beet Factory Projected in Royal City

The report that a sugar beet factory
is likely to be established in New West-
minster, aided by Government subsidy,
was mentioned at Tuesday’s meeting
of Sumas & Huntingdon Board of
Trade, and Secretary Owens was re
quested to secure more information for
the Board, with the view to making ap-
plication for consideration of this dis-
trict as a better location,

According to the report from Victoria
an outside company with a $2,000,000
capitalization is prepared to erect a
factory able to handle 1000 tons of
beets daily. The proposed factory would
operate 100 days yearly, give factory
employment to 200 men and provide
profitable markets for products of 4,000
acres. The company requests a sub-
sidy of about $50,000 yearly for five
years, based upon production. It is re-
ported that the government is regarding
the proposal. favorably.

This report appears to be a matter
in which several local “organizations
should interest themselves,

vative Association last week. H. J
Barber also spoke at the gathering.
