COUNCIL TO HEAR
MERGER REQUEST
Consolidation Oh Port Traf-
fic. Industrial Agencies
Sought

A plan to merge the City In
dustrial agency and ne Whining
ton Port Traffic association into
one unit financed by the city will
probably be the outstanding bust
ness on the city council agenda
this morning.
The plan, drawn up by John
H. Farrell, city industrial agent,

association manager, asks that the
two organizations be combined to
facilitate the city's industrial
growth.
Submitted Jointly

be submitted by members of the

Reports issuing from city hal
yesterday indicate that the pro

council because of the financia.
angle. The industrial agency is fl
nanced by the city, but the traffic
association is supported by its
members-local and businessmen.
"Unwilling''
The tenor of the city hall re-
ports indicate that the council
may be unwilling to take on the
extra burden of supplying funds
for the traffic association.
The other principal matters
slated to be laid on the council
