He believes Fairfax County
has the advantages that will
attract much better things -

SIDE and whose highly paid en-
ployeS will raise the income

I'VE believe" Mr.. Townsend
said, that Fairfax has much

type
We have wide-open spaces
out here. Nowhere else in the
Washington area is there so
much available land. so close to

A typical example of the type
Of industry Fairfax County is
interested in obtaining is the
Melpar Laboratory Of the West
inghouse Airbrake Co., located
on Route so west of Seven
Corners. Construction on Mel
par was begun in the fall of
1858.
"Melpar looks too good to be
an industry" Mr.. Townsend
said. 1T looks more like a school
or university. Looks like some
thing the taxpayers might have
built, rather than something
that is bringing in tax money to
the county"
Laboratories Included
In recent years, there have
been other similar-type projects
that have selected Fairfax
County although none as large
as Melpar. There are other cleo
tronics laboratories and several
meteorological laboratories.
Two of the newest industries,
MI Townsend said, are the

Of the county.
