CAP TAI
For Operating Plants after
They Are Built Here
Will Be Sought.
AT THE LOCAL BANKS
AS a Part Of the, .Plan,of the
Board Of Trade to Rem
der Assistance.

At the regular board of trade
weekly luncheon, held at the Waldo
hotel today, the matter OF a bond
issue for improving the highways in
the districts Of CLARK and Coal was
continued under discussion, and
George NJ Honhelmer, as counsel
for the committee, reported further
upon the legal status OF issuing
bonds.
The present outlook under the ad-
vice of counsel is unfavorable to-
ward securing the bond issue de-
sired. 1t will probably mean going
before. the legislature with recon-
mendations to enact ii bill to cover
the needs OF the individual districts
within the state for this special pur-
pose. The matter will be taken up
by the local board of trade with the
West Virginia stnte Board Of Trade
in an effort TO secure the desired
legislation In. case this means
fails good roads for this territory
would have to be financed through
a county bond issue.
The board members also took UP
at this meeting the matter of adopt
ing some plan of financing the re-
quiremeats of new concerns seeking
ia location in Clarksburg. AS it is at
present, there is no well defined plan
looking to the assistance Of corpo-
rations coming here where a larger
amount of money is required than
can be secured through the ordinary
accommodations from one banking
institution 1t is the purpose of
the board of trade to actively get
behind movement which will Sc
cure the cooperation of the banks
through some method of paper en-
dorsement as is incorporated in what
is known as the "Williamsport, Pa,
plan with, perhaps, some modtf-
ications.
1t is not the purpose Of the local
Organization of endorsing any guar
antee fund, which will mean the
financing of any outside corporation
other than to assist w providing for
working capital after a plant has
been erected and fully equipped. In
such cases the assets would be ample
protection to the endorsers and any
loss through acknowledgment or
otherwise. would be reduced to a
minimum.
