Would Industries Seek Decatur Site?

Would any Industry want to locate in Decatur? This is a question which the Decatur Junior Chamber of Commerce was bluntly asked at the recent state meeting in Indianapolis, attended last weekend by Eugene Ziner and James Brader, state directors, and Jack Petrie, chairman of the community development project. Just where does industry prefer to locate? Well, for one thing, industry asks the same things about a location that you, as an individual, might ask about a home. Is Decatur a nice neighborhood, with sound property values, where the factory can live within its income, and would it be welcome and feel wanted? Are churches, schools, recreation, eating facilities suitable, and willing to expand? *‘~’UtU!ttes Adequate? And how about utilities? Are water, gas, electricity, phones, oil, plumbing, drainage, and waste disposal available for prospective sites in Decatur? Is the prospective area protected by community planning, and zoning, is the shopping area adequate, with plenty of doctors, dentists, and banks? How is the present tax rate on property, and what is its future trend? Is police and fire protection good? Can people get to and from the location easily on their way to and from work? Can supplies and deliveries be made? Just how is traffic? Are the roads adequate into the city, and how are the streets, and their parking facilities? Billion Being Spent Sure, industries are moving into < many new locations, spending billions of dollars on new plants. But, there are many more cities than ever before interested in getting those plants. Forty years ago, there was little competition from Berne, Geneva and Monroe for factories. Now both Berne and Geneva have factories, and Monroe is quite actively interested. The Junior Chamber of- Commerce is now making a survey, these men pointed out, under the leadership of Petrie, Ziner. Brader, Jack Heller, and Ted Hill, just to see what our local needs are. Just how much of our payroll here in Decatur goes to other towns —Fort Wayne, Berne, Bluffton, etc ? And how much comes in from other communities? Satisfying Present Industry? Are our present industries “satisfied” with Decatur, or are they proud to be part of Decatur? If present industries are not happy with the local community, new industries are going to be hard to settle here. Some things that industries will consider are: What is the total employable labor market in the area? Could Decatur attract more? What; is the unemployment history of the | area? » Then, what range of skills do, local laborers have? This is very important. Are they stable and efficient? What percentage are male, and what female? How many are natives of this area? What percent own their own homes? Water Supply Good? How do local wage rates compare with other areas, and is the, labor market dominated by one local industry? What is the condition of Deca- 1 tur’s water supply? What is on hand, what is in reserve, is it expensive. and what is its chemical content? And how about power and utilities? Is there plenty of room for • expansion on the electric, gas, oil. i coal, telephone, and waste disposal! utilities? Raw materials are another problem—are they on hand, nearby.' and in large quantities from a dependable source? Is the cost of

transporting them reasonable? How Is Shipping? In the shipping field, how are waterways, highways, and railways? Do buses, good roads, trains, and planes beat a path to our community? How is the administration of our building and safety codes, and sewage and pollution problems? What is the attitude of the local bank towards industry, its loan limits, capacity to handle the payroll, correspondents? Are trust companies available? What are Decatur's facilities for dining, for hotels and motels? Are building sites available for ownership or lease? Is the cost of building reasonable? Do they meet the N.S.R.B. industrial dispersal program standards? Will Our People Help? Will the people of Decatur build a building to specifications, and lease it to a new industry, if they want us to have a stake in their success here? What is the general weather picture around Decatur—its past record in this field? Is there a plan in Decatur to prevent a housing shortage? What is the local death rate? How many hospital beds per capita? Are there good recreational facilities for employes? Good newspapers? Good civic programs, cultural opportunities? Does Decatur Want It? What percent have gone to college or high school? Does the town take part in voting, does it give generously to the community fund? And last of all, do Decatur's leaders really want a new industry, or will they pull their punches and drag their feet? The Jaycees want the answers to these, and many more important questions. When they get them, they will then take their turn at helping to sell Decatur to new industries. Perhaps even some of the answers will have to be changed to get this done. Hospital Escapee Is Captured Wednesday LOGANSPORT, Ind. (UPD - Boyd Wachob, 46. Anderson, an admitted arsonist who .walked away from the Logansport State Hospital late Wednesday, was captured here about two hours later. Wachob, who admitted the Christmas Eve burning of the First Methodist church at Anderson, walked away while being taken to a dance for inmates. He was found by two police officers walking in downtown Logansport.
