Reasons Given for Bringing the Gas En-
gine Plant to Wilmington.
Relative to the contemplated removal
of the plant of the Otto Gas Engine Co.
from Philadelphia 10 Wilmington the
Philadelphia Inquirer today printed the
following:
Unable TO secure additional ground
here In order to extend their plant because
of the oNOrbitant amount asked and the
fact that they consider their tax ASSESS
ment too large, has caused the Otto Gas
Engine Works. at Jhirty-third and Wal-
nut streets. to make Preparations to move
their plant to Wilmington Del The
plant occupies two acres of ground. situ-
ated on, Walnut street from Thirty
second TO Thirty-third streets, and is one
of the largest concerns of its kind in this
city employing several hundred hands.
Negotiations have Just been completed
by the firm for the purchase of so acres
of ground in the southeastern section of
Wilmington. on the Christiana River. and
work on the new structure will be started
this year. The Otto company is a Ger
man concern. and already has a plant at
Cologne Germany, where 5000 work
men are employed. IL is the intention of
the company to make the new plant
eventually as large as the foreign one.
Enoch krull. treasurer Of the concern,
when seen yesterday, said "We would like
20 have stayed in philadelphi aif it were
possible TO buy additional property at
a reasonable figure, and il our taxes were
not so large This is the chief reason for
our buying the Wilmington property, and
another is that we were unable TO secure
railroad connection to our works in this
city. Our new property is exempt from
taxes for 10 years which is a big item, and
there we have river front and two rail.
