of the F'irth-Sterling Company. when
he came 10 ask in advance what the
attitude of the District government
would be toward his company's under

such enterprises. provided they do not
interfere with our chief asset. the beauty
and general attractiveness of the Ma
tional Capital
Il would be glad TO see new factories
in the District which would give employ
ment TO our men and put money in cir
culation. provided they do not spoil the
National Capital as place of residence.
\ strict compliance with the law against
the emission OF dense black or gray
smoke is. FOR example, a necessary re-
quirement With the understanding that
the factories viii obey our laws. / am
in favor of facilitating their coming in
every practicable way

Pennsylvania avenue or in the resident
sections of the city of Washington.

the factories between Pennsylvania ave

have it carried out and many of us nave
been hoping for years to see it done"

VIM. H. RAPLEY, Proprietor of the
New National Theater:

Viewing the question in the light
or personal gain. l should say,
encourage manufactures to locate
here, but. as a matter of civic
pride. ! believe that we should d's-
courage industrial plants from coming
TO this city. There are hundreds of cities
throughout the country devoted 10 man
ufacturing interests, and ! believe that
there should be at least one community
wholly free from the spirit of CONNER
cialism that seems TO dominate the ma

as an ideal residence city. and it should

lions FOR them. This Is not theoretical
view. but has been clearly demonstrated
in the cases Of London and Paris. Ia
the former city the visitor sees all that
is of interest in a day OF two. whereas
Paris offers in its residences. its boule-
wards and its art galleries attractions
that hold the visitor for weeks and even
months.
From an artistic standpoint there can
be no question Of the advisabnity Of
discoUraging such enterprises. From a
far-sighted commercial standpoint. be-
lieve it would be equally wei to preserve
Washington as a residential center pure
and simple"

My main reason for this wish is that as
Washington exists today there are FEY,

LIE ROY MARK, Real Estate, Loans

1T would be a good thing to have
many manufacturing plants brought 70
this city if they were kept 10 the
proper sections of the suburbs. The
establishment of the plants would
call for the building OF more homes, the

Theater:

Not merely from the standpoint Of
art. but for commercial reasons as
well, I think it win be most unfortunate
should Washington in the future adopt
a policy favorable TO the establishment
of Industrial enterprises here. The Cap
itaI City today occupies 2 unique posi-
ton among American municipalities It
is the only e;ty that has never eneour-
aged the spirit Of commercialism that
has characterized the American people
as a whole. For this reason Washing
ton offers peculiar inducements TO the
capitalist and the man Of means who
wishes to retire from an active business
career and enjoy the pleasures of home
life far removed from the hurry burly
of business cares. If Washington main

CHARLES ]. BELL, President Amen
can Security and Trust Company:

I do not believe in encouraging
manufacturing enterprises To come TO
this city and locate in Washington
proper. I do not see what objections
could be raised to the establishment OF
such plants along the Potomac river,
however. So long as they do not violate
the smoke laws and do not encroach
upon the residential sections they will
not detract from the city's advantages
as q purely residential center. / do not
think that the coming of manufacturing
enterprises to this city should trouble
us however. as I believe that the pos
sibilities for development in this direc-
ton are very limited. WashingtOns

rather than as a home for industrial
plants"
The Washington times., 1906-01-07

ingtOn want to see the
National Capital become
a field for the establish
ment of manufacturing
plants along the banks of the Poto-
mac and Anacostia rivers? Shall this
city. whose history has as yet
chronicled no whir of machinery's
wheels in its neighborhood, hear
the chug-chug of the powerful en-
gines and the ceaseless clatter of
hammers and saws?
This is the question which comes
home to every WashingtOnian The
first step toward putting manufactur-
ing plants in the District of Column
bia has already been taken by the
Firth-Sterling Steel Company. of
Demmler, Pa, which Will this year
move to Giesboro Point its plant for
the manufacture of high class projec-
tiles. The problem for solution by all
who want 10 help toward the right
future for Washington is whether or
not manufacturing plants should be
encouraged TO establish themselves in
the District of Columbia.
The prominent business men of
Washington are unanimous in declar-
ing the manufactures should be en-
couraged in every possible way to
come here, provided they are re-
stricted To the suburbs OF the city
and are governed by the smoke law
now in effect in the District The
verdict of these men who are init
mately acquainted with the needs of
Washington say the wealth and in
creased population which will be
brought here by such establishments
will build up the city and make her
more beautiful.
Here follows list of some of the
best-knOwn men in Washington. with
their views on the subject:
The Washington times., 1906-01-07
W. H. ACKER, Attorney-at-Law
Real Estate Agent

Il am IN favor of manufactures com
ing here. but l think they ought TO be
confined to G.os5oro Point and the Con-
duit Road. They would. of course. be
compelled To comply with The District
smoke Law. Their coming can not help
but benefit The District IN almost even
way imaginable"

NJ. V. RICHARDS, Loan and Industrial

Il see no objection TO the location Of
factories in that section of Washington.

residential section"
The Washington times., 1906-01-07
PHELAN C. HAwN, Real Estate and
Insurance.

Manufacturing interests ought to be
encouraged TO come here. They could
hot possibly hurt the city so long
as they are kept in the suburbs and
are made to comply with all the rules
and regulations of the District laws.
am heartily in favor OF their coming
here. They would help the business in
terests OF the city to an enormous ex-
tent"
The Washington times., 1906-01-07
HON. JOHN BROOKS HENDERSON.
Ex-United States Senator From
Missouri:

1t appears to me that it would be
quite advantageous TO all interests in
Washington if manufactures should be
encouraged to come here under the
proper restrictions. A point which has
occurred 10 me since this question frst
became mooted. is that it might be pos
sible 70 get Virginia to cede back 70 the
General Government that part Of her
domain which originally belonged TO the
District. It would be feasible TO re-
serve this territory for manufacturing
enterprises only. This would enable the
District TO develop commercial interests
without in any way detractiEg from the
residential advantages of Washington.
Manufactures across the Potomac could
not in any way affect Washington ex-
cept advantageously, provided there
were restrictions upon the use of soft
coal Should it prove impracticable TO
secure a retrocession Of this territory 10
the District by Virginia. then the manu-
featuring plants should by all means be
confined to the outlying sections OF the
District"
