Includes copy of letter to Colonel Howard Bury about the Salts Ltd factory in Tullamore, "As you have probably heard a new company is being formed in Ireland for the purpose of promoting a spinning factory in this town, and it will be a most important industry, and will give a very considerable amount of employment. There was great difficulty in getting the factory here because there were at least a dozen other towns in the Saorstat who were trying to get it established. As a result, however, of the efforts of various people Tullamore has succeeded. When the English gentlemen who are interested in the promotion of this factory originally interviewed some representative people here in this town they stipulated that they would not consider Tullamore unless they could get the land which they required at a price not exceeding £60 per acre. They pointed out that they could get land for this figure in other parts of the country, and indeed in some places they could get it for nothing. This shows the anxiety there was to get this factory. It was necessary to give an undertaking required, but eventually when negotiations were entered into between the local committee, of which I am Honorary Secretary, with the owners of certain of the lands to be acquired, it was found that considerably larger sums per acre would have to be paid for at least some of the land which was wanted.
