that is an imposing list of

Business
Unit Urged

A consolidated effort to lure
the right kind of commercial and
industrial development into the
Washington Metropolitan area
was suggested by Charles Kope-
land of Silver Spring at a meet
ing of the Metropolitan Area
Council at the Burlington Hotel.
Kopeland, who is associated
with the Montgomery County
Chamber of Commerce and the
Silver Spring Board of Trade,
pointed out the value of all the
Boards of Trade and Chambers of
Commerce in the five adjacent
counties in Maryland, Virginia
and the District combining to set
up an office at Washington Board
of Trade Building where all in
coming requests for business To-
cations could be checked and di.
rected to the logical site.
In case the applicant did not
like particular site he would be
shown another site which might
appeal to him, rather than let him
take his business to some other
section of the country, Kopeland
explained. The liaison officer
would be paid for from a kitty
furnished by all the trade groups
in the area. He suggested this
would eliminate cut.throat COM
petition and bring suitable COM
mercial and industrial to the area
David Scull, president of the
Montgomery Chamber Of Com
merce, also spoke in favor of con-
certed action so that no one group
would have to shoulder the bur-
den of the promotion and the Sc.
lectivity would ultimately place
concerns where they would be
happiest and best fit into the
picture of the community.
Jerome Packard, well known
planner, said that while Washing
ton is dependent almost exclusive
ly on Federal activities the D. C.
area has only 9 per cent of the
Federal government in this area.
The Metropolitan Area Council
plans to bring large corporation
head into the area to speak on the
subject, What a Corporation
Looks for in Seeking a New Lo-
cation" and also plans an Eco
pomic Seminar for the late fall
which will include Montgomery
County.
