Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Oct. 4th - Owing to the failure to send any representative to this city yesterday, the Sault Ste. Marie Dry Dock and Shipbuilding company, which was represented by Dr. Cassoretty of Paris, who was endeavoring to raise the necessary finances for the commencement of the dry dock project, the company has now lost its franchise and a bonus of $5,000 per year for a period of twenty years, this amount being the amount embodied in an agreement with the city.
