Mayor Promises to Ask Board of Works to Reconsider Opening of Oriental St. in Effort to Keep Factory Brar/jh Here DOES NOT WANT CITY TO LOSE BIG INDUSTRY Believes Citizens on Street Can Be Served as Well by Other Avenues Chamber of Commerce Quietly Active in Matter. The first break in the solid front of the city administration against the closing of Oriental St., between Washington and Maryland Sts., came today when Mayor Shank announced he would request the board of works to reconsider its decision to allow the street to remain open. The board several weeks ago decided the street would remain open when the Pennsflvania railroad tracks, running east ani west roughly adjacent to Maryland St., are elevated. This caused the management of the Indianapolis assembly factory or the Ford Motor Company to announce that the factory will be removed from Indianapolis unless the street Is closed. Heavy Cost Entailed. The Ford plant lies a half block west of Oriental St., between Washington St. rand thjr tracks. The Ford manaf fcrs say that they will have to re: jodel at initial cost of $200,000 anti extra annual production cost of $400,000 Ifthe street is left open because it will be necessary to run freight cars intothe second floor of the plant The plant is built to receive cars on the first floor and continue the assemblying by the chain method on the same floor. If Oriental St. is closed the company can sclope a switch from the elevated tracksc to the first floor across Oriental St., and obviate switching the whole assemblying process to the second floor. City Would Lose Should the plant be moved from Indianapolis the city wil lose a $1,500,000 payrool, 800 employes (the Ford company says it will pay for moving the working elsewhere) and the promise that if the company can stay here It will put a body factory in the same building and employ 400 more men. "We can not afford to take the chance of losing the $1,500,000 spent by Ford employes in Indianapolis every year and the hundreds of good citizens who would leave if the branch were withdrawn to another city,” said Shank. Way for Residents "The residents of Oriental St., south of the tracks, could reach Washington St. by way of Arsenal Ave. to the east or Leota St. to the west without much more trouble than going straight through by Oriental St.” Committees of Chamber of Commerce, which' have worked for months to induce the board of works to see the wisdom of closing the street have not suspended activities. The business men have been working quietly in the hope the board of works will see tha necessity of saving the important Ford branch for the city. CONFERENCE TO BE HELD Rural Education Meeting Will Be at Washington, Ind. Dr. Henry Noble Sherwood, State superintendent of public instruction, and other State school officials will speak at the rural education conference at Washington, Ind., Thursday.
