BUS|NESSSTUDY
BEING MADE IN
VIRGINIA

serious study is being made
OF the types of industry suitable
for the nearby Virginia territory,
Henry C. Morris told the mem
bers of the Observation-Disclosures
Fairfax Real Estate Board at the
regular monthly dinner meeting
held at the Washington Golf and
Country Club last Wednesday
night.
1t is q great mistake, the speaker
asserted, for any community 10
encourage or invite the establish
ment OF industries lndiscriminately,
before a careful analysis of the
industrial possibilities of the COM
munity has been made and this
fact is amply proven by the numer-
otls examples Of manufacturing
plants which have failed in every
section of the county, on account
of unsuitable locations, inconvenI.
ence of raw materials, lack OF
suitable labor supply and other
giaring deficiencies in plant loca'
tion.
An equally important factor to
be considered, according to Mr..
Morris, is the effect which Ger.
tain less desirable types of in
dustry are bound to have on prop
erty and social values Of an en-
vironment. There can be no adj
vantage In a residence community
enjoying a large payroll from an
industry, il that industry becomes
a serious nuisance factor to all OF
the residents Of the community,
the speaker stated.
Arlington county, particularly,
needs the type of study OF indus
trial advantages now being con-
Quoted, the speaker concluded, be-
cause 1t Is rapidly developing into
a residence section Of substantial
and attractive homes. which will
enhance in value with the further
residence growth of the county,
provided Industrial development is
directed along such lines only as
will not affect the residence ad-
yantages OF the area,
