DAY. august 25rd' ! wen. TO Flint and inter
General Motor Company. Tor the purpose OF
ascertaining what action was intended by that
company to be taken in relation TO it's OSosso
property. Mr.. Nash Informed me that IL had
been contemplated for some time to discon.
tinue the manufacture of motor trucks at
Owosso, for the reason that neither their
Pontiac nor Owosso plant were running a full
force or full time and yet required TWO
separate arrangements. This action taken
this summer was one that had been contemp-
lated for some time. He further stated that
at no time had there been any thought of CIV
Ing up the OwossO plant or disseminating the
use OF IL as factory building He stated that
he had understood that the people of Owosso
were not so particular about the kind of
factory that was operated here by the Com.
pany 50 much as they were interested In the
number OF men; that he had In mind the kind
OF factory that would be established In
Owosso by the General Motors Company In
the near future, and In fact told me what the
nature of that plant would be- However, he
stated that he did NOT care to have the matter
given publicity at this time, for The reason
finance committee OF the Board OF Directors,
which will meet about the middle of Septem.
Der; that at that meeting the matter would be
decided upon and a determination reached as
to what sort OF plant will be operated at
Owosso.
r. II Mr.. NAsh's own plans are carried out, as
no doubt they will be, he assured me that the
new factory would employ fully as many men
as would be required IN the old one, with the
added advantage that the operation of the
factory would be more continuous than for.
merly. He impressed upon me above every.
thing else that the General Motors Company
positively intended to operate the Owosso
plant and that in the near future, and that II
anyone In Owosso was stating anything to the
contrary such person was sadly msinformed.
Mr.. Nash deprecated the publicity that has
been given to this matter recently, as he
states he does not believe in newspaper
publicity or notoriety. and asks the Council
and the citizens OF Owosso to kindly restrain
their impatience and the results will be
gratifying to all concerned.
] was Impressed with the frankness, the
energy and the STRAIGHTFORWARD corduc' Of Mr..
Nash, and recommend to the council that no
action be taken pending the meeting OF the
finance committee of the Board OF Direc tors OF
the General Motors Company In September.
Mr. Nash informed me that he would notify
me IS soon as action had been taken by tn 8
committee.
