The Board of Trade agrees to pay the company a bonus of $30,000 to bring the factory to Wooster. A very small portion, if any, of this money is to be raised by soliciting among the merchants. The Board of Trade invested the $17,500, minus the costs, obtained from the [[Pococks Glass Works|Glass Works]] after a long contest in the courts, in real estate, and this land will be allotted, the lots sold, and the proceeds applied to the fund to bring the factory here.
