The coat of the plant as it stands to day, was about one million dollars, and there is said to be a first mortgage of f520,000 upon it due in 1 '■* and a bal ance of t247.<#>> of a second mortgage now due. F. J.

Though this statement cornea from ourselves, we further assert that the plant is in every resjiect in bet ter condition that at any time in the period of its exi*tenreM»otwithstanding Mr Klingler's assertion to the contrary We challenge any contradiction to this assertion Not until Mr. Klingler got some of the tecond mortgage leirids through false assertions, written statement-: which we have in onr possession, did we experience trouble from any source.

We particularly desire to state here with that if »i»y one bus any claims for material delivered or work done, they may present the same and we will pay it on presentation at thisofti-e in But l«»r Only excepting the Bonded Indebt edness.
