Summary
Memorial related to the Boyden Malleable Cast Iron and Steel Company. Eighty citizens had asked for the company to be incorporated, and heard that the Committee thought it did not have enough information about the company's plans. An attachment to the Memorial details those plans. The Company had been operating in New Jersey for many years. In Massachusetts, it was building a large factory to make cutlery, silverware, and agricultural implements, all of which would cut down on expensive imports. It expected to employ four hundred men, for whom it would have to build a company town because of the factory's distance from housing. It contracted for a wharf and expected to build two more large factory buildings. Because of this, it needed to be incorporated with much more than $100,000 in real estate.
