MAY LEAVE
Covington Glass Company
Claim That The City
Has not Kept Faith With It as
Regards Free Water.
The Covington Glass Company, a new concern recently organized in Covington for the manufacture of bottles and other glass goods, is threatening to pull up and leave.
Sam Brown, one of the owners of the plant, which is located in the old Hemingray Glassworks, called on Mayor Rhinock Wednesday and stated the company's grievance. Brown claims that the city promised to exempt the company from taxation for five years and furnish a supply of water free. When he called on the Water-works people, Brown claims he was told that the company would have to pay for the water.
Brown told the Mayor that the company would certainly leave if the agreement was not kept.
Mayor Rhinock advised Brown to lay the matter before the Water-works Commissioners. The concern employs about 50 hands.
