ARLINGTON LOSES
HALF OF INDUSTRIES
v. P. |. Survey Reveals De-
cline of Manufacturing in
Past Two Years.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
stan Correspondent Of The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, December 10
That Arlington County has but half of
the industries that were shown in the
1927 census of manufacturers was indi-
Gated in a preliminary statement OF the
classification of industries received to-
day from the Virginia Polytechnic 1nSti-
tute by P. P. Woodbridge, secretary OF
the Arlington County Chamber OF
Commerce.
The statement received today is the
first definite information that has been
obtained from the educational tnstltu-
ton since the industrial survey which
was made here by 1t in october and
which will not be available in full until
some time in January.
Thirty-Three Industries Operating
The list of industries operating here
at the present time shows total num-
Der of SO as against So in 1927. Whlle
some of this loss may be attributed TO
the annexation of part of the county
by Alexandria, part of the loss is due
to the fact that some of the industrial
plants have gone out of business.
According to Woodbridge, the infor-
nation on four plants which are now
operating in the county was not OBJ
tanned, due to the refusal OF certain IN
dustrial leaders in RoSslyn and South
Washington to cooperate with the VIZ
ginia Polytechnic Institute in supply
ing the confidential information asked
for by them. AS a result the figures
on these four plants are estimated from
information secured from other sources.
Even allowing the very liberal estimate
of 81. 900. 900 to cover these four plants,
the figure still leaves total produc-
ton of the industrial plants OF the
county at about half of what it was
in 1927.
$40 Persons Employed.
According to the statement received
today, there are $40 persons employed
in industrial plants in the county. the
plants have an annual pay roll OF
S676,534, invested capital of $633,325
and a total volume Of business OF
S3.464 1867.
They are distributed as follows: Food
and kindred products, number employed,
30; annual pay roll, $37,420; capital IN
vested, $197,350; volume of business,
S448, 48O; textiles, iron and steel, lum-
Der and allied products, number en-
ployed, 81; annual pay roll, $138,594 :
capital invested, $72l,725; volume of
business, 81, 1859 ,687; paper and printing,
number employed 102; annual pay roll,
Sl68,660 capital invested, $4,000;
volume of business, $606,200; chemicals
and allied products, including stone,
clay and glass, number employed, 255;
annual pay roll, $271,26o; capital in
vested, Sail $50; volume of business,
sl,o94, COO; machinery, not including
transportation equipment but including
railroad repair shops and miscellaneous
industries, number employed AZ; an
nual pay roll, $60,600; capital invested,
Sl540CO; volume of business, $146,000.
1t is believed that the greatest loss
suffered by any one group is felt in the
latter through the loss to the county OF
q greater portion of Potomac Yards.
