Alexandria was one Of the hrst
cities to set forth the advantages Oh
fered for the location of the proposed
armor plant here and the original
suggestion was in the Gazette. AT
tention was called to the fact that
the natural site for such an enterprise
was under the shadow of the Capltol
at Washington, six miles from the
navy yard and within two hours run
of Indian Head, where the proving
grounds are located.

officials interested in Alexandra
claims.
As has often been said, an ideal To-
cation is presented literally in sight
of Washington. Newly-made lana
row extends from Jones's point,
mart OF which belongs to the gov
ernnant, to the shipyard, covering
an ORC. of about forty acres, with the
east front on the channel bank oil the
Potomac. This land could be pro-
o,rod for the location of the plant
proposed by the government
Other cities are actively engaged III
attempts to have the plant situated IN
their midst, especially Baltimore

Secretary Daniels wants many large
cities to get busy fighting for the
