Go slow.

The request of the Specialty Co., for a deed of the The Flats seems reasonable enough in view of the proposed large extension to their works.

In granting the same, however, the Council might do well to cosnider the large area of the flats property, and the future advantage we might derive were the town to retain ownership of two or three acres at the extreme north end of the property.

In a community of interest and other attractive advantages, owing to the establishment and successful operation of three or four large manufacturing industries, in conducive as in most other towns, to the location within their borders of still other enterprises, a building site on the higher part of this property and on part of the McDonald lot at the Junction of Wellington and Second streets, with available running water and a possible G.T.R. frontage, might be a tempting inducement to offer as a bonus to some enterprise in the future; and as this part of the property is about a quarter of a mile from the Specialty Company's work, were they given perpetual right of a roadway north and south through it we feel certain that that is all they would have any use for.
