WATER POWER MEETING

[Welland Tribune, 14 January 1898]

           In accordance with a largely signed requisition, Mayor Hooker has called a public meeting of the ratepayers of the town of Welland, “to consider the advisability of taking active steps to secure water power from the canal for manufacturing purposes, and to adopt such measures as may be deemed advisable to advertise the advantages of the town for manufacturing purposes, and to take any action that may advance the interests of the town.” The meeting will be held in the town hall on Tuesday evening next, at 8 o’clock. The object of the meeting is good and its scope wide, and everyone interested in the town should turn out and see if something cannot be done to arouse our town from its somewhat lethargic condition, industrially speaking. Next Tuesday evening.
