ttee on the Naumkeag Mill situation :
"The Committee on the Naumkeag Mill situation to whom was referred
a
the resolution to hold a joint meeting with mill officials to discuss
their present situation has considered said matter and would recommend 1
the following:
!! � "The council sitting as a committee of the whole met with the
! President and other officials of the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company at
II ' their office on
The purpose of the meeting was to try to discover whether or not th
mills contemplated a future in Salem or whether they planned to abandon
I � oper
ations here.
� e The entire council participated in the meeting and the many f�:cets
ults of
of the -roblem -era ex lorgl in a great deal of detail. The res
I
the conference, which were given wide publicity, settled for the present
at least, the question as to whether or not the mills were going to leav
Salem. The answer as you know is that the mills will stay in Salem, al-
though on a more reduced scale than has heretofore been the case. Em-
ployment capacity under the new set up would vary between 1,000 and
1 ,200 people , with little liklihood that this figure will increase or
vary to any great extent . How soon the consolidation will take effect
depends in large part on certain negotiations with the union, which were
- I
not touched upon to any great extent at the meeting as it was felt they
were outside the scope of the conference.
The conference as a whole was a success I feel in that it did serve
to dispel some disquieting rumors about the fate of the Naumkeag; the
conference was also useful in that it demonstrated to the people and to
industry alike in our city, that the council is not only aware of
industryes problems but is also keenly interested in the progress that i
made towards their solutions. In this particular case we were able to
ascertain that the slow curtailment of the mills operations was not I
caused in any :vay by lack of cooperation from City officials and local
government . Nor was it felt that at the present , at least , was there
anything the City could do which would make the mill increase its opera-
tions here. One of the brighter features of the conference was the fact 3t
that with consolidation several of the buildings formerly used by the
mill would be available for other industries.
It is difficult to make any recommendations other than in a general
way, but I feel the following should be adopted as the recommendations
of this committee: f
1. That conferences of this kind are advisable in that they bring
the city government into a closer relationship with industry and
consequently are more familiar :vith their progress and their plans in so
far as they effect the city, which better equips the council for any
legislative action they may be called upon to give. 1
2 . That a concerted effort be made to induce small and diversified
business to locate in Salem, and this for the reason that with many in-
dustries of different products , our people would not be hit hard by the
moving away. of any one industry. The idea being not to have a lame
segment of our working group dependant sole-ly on one industry which,
when it ceases doing business in Salem, leaves behind a
working force who are illequiped because of age or 15; ck of experience
'i
to find em,loyment in other lines .
?. That the assessors of the assessors of the City of Salem m=et

Com. on the Whole Councillor Tighe introduced the following Report for the
rpt . re: Putnam-
ville Feservoir Committee on the Whole:
"The Committee on the !mole to whom was referred the matter of
investigating a substitute for the proposed Putnamville Reservoir has
considered said matter and would recommend that action be taken to
authorize the expenditure of the necessary funds for the construction of
this reservoir because:
1. No federal or state financial assistance is available.
2. Our meeting with the Pequot Mill Officials and representatives of the
Peabody City Government proved fruitless in as much as we learned that
the water rights are available for purchase but due to the fact that the
City of Peabody also has a water supply problem of their own and indicate
that they might be interested in these rights we decided to forego this
suggestion as a solution to our problem.
3. The suggestion of obtaining an added supply of water from the
Metropolitan district Commission was thoroughly investigated and explored
but the Department has informed us that this would not be practical until
a tunnel has been extended from Chestnut Hill to the City of Malden.
Information available shows that no time has been set for the extension
of this tunnel and the matter at this date is very indefinite.
4. Information was also gathered on the use of salt water made fresh by a
chemical Commission but this is still in an experimental stage and nothin
promising was discovered.
