There is also a demand for a barrel and shook factory to supply the fisheries, port packing plant, carriage factory, clothing factories, and other industries.  The harbor furnishes cheap water transportation and by means of the railway inland towns are conveniently reached.  New industries should not only employ the surplus labor, but also bring additional workers.  Rents are reasonable, and living expenses low when compared with Upper Canadian cities, as nearly every householder has an opportunity to raise the vegetables and fruits his family consumes.  In encouraging new industries the town has no fixed policy as to their treatment, but it is willing to consider them on their merits and if found worthy to make their coming profitable.
