Mr. Watt's loss was about 10,000, with 3,000 insurance. The shop was rebuilt immediately, and stocked with first-class tools and machinery. It has been extended and enlarged twice since it was first built. It is safe to affirm that more of the material details of the present City of Brantford have been constructed in this shop than in any other in this neighborhood. From twenty to sixty hands are employed in producing all kinds of joiner and building materials.
