INDUSTRIAL AGENT
ASKED OF COUNCIL

Appropriation of $4,000 to facili-
tate operations of the city's Eco
nomic Development committee for
the balance of the fiscal year was
asked yesterday by the groups
Economic committee. The COM
mittee is composed of E. L. White,
]. G. Thorntun and R. B. Page.
The money would be expended on
recommendation OF the city man
ager and the industrial agent.
Creation Of a position OF indus
trial agent was also asked at yes
terday's meeting. John H. Far
rell, executive secretary OF the
Chamber of Commerce was sug-
gested for the position which
would operate under yearly
budget of about $4,000.
Councilman ]. E. L. Wade intro
duced a successful motion refer
ring the matter to the city mana
ger, attorney and clerk for study
Of the budget. The action further
provided for a special meeting at
10 am. Friday, Feb. for council
handling of the financial report
and recommendation.
White told couacilmen that, after
study of a recently-completed
economic and industrial survey of
Wilmington, the Economic Devel-
opment group had arrived at one
unanimous conclusion: that the city
should have one person to repre-
sent it in bringing new industries
to Wilmington.
Farrells name was advanced by
Thornton, who suggested that the
Chamber OF Commerce might lend
Farrell to the city as industrial
agent for awhile. if he would re.
tain managership of the Chamber.
This, Thornton explained would en-
tail the employment of lesser
paid person to serve as Chamber
executive secretary.
Thornton emphasized that the
appropriation would cover sal
aries, office and travelling ex-
penses, and that no expenditure
would be made without the approx
al of the city manager and the in
dustrial agent.
Page declared that 1--WE feel that
Mr.. Farrell in charge of the in
dustrial department will be able to
obtain the assistance of Mr.. Boyd
and Mr.. HERS of the Port Traffic
Association and Port Commission,
respectively, and the three Of
them working together would give
us a very nice set up"
He pointed out that lot OF time
and money are required for con
facts with industrial prospects,
adding that man of experience
is needed to study the type Of In
dustry the city needs.
