I Archduke Leopold ORGANIZATIONS ARE WORKINGJOGETHER Commercial Club and S. S. I. A. Wants Factories on the South Side. IS DUE TO INTERCHANGE. RULING BY RAILROAD COMMISSION WILL MAKE LOCATIONS IN SOUTH PORTION OF CITY MORE DESIRABLE. Since the granting of freight interchange in this city by the Indiana Railroad commission Monday, the members of the Commercial club and the South Side Improvement association are working hand in hand tolocate factories on the South Sode, and in the new Beallview addition to the city of Richmond. The South Side Improvement association has set aside thirty acres in the new addition for factory sites, and this will be given to factories locating In Richmond, free of any cost whatever. Both organizations now have in the hands of their secretaries, communications from various factory concerns, asking to locate here and of the inducements that the organizations will ofer to prospective factories. The majority of these commu nications, however, ask more than either of the organizations has to give, wanting subsidies, locations, factory buildings, and about all that it takes to locate, construct and run a factory of any pretensions. Really very desirable factories desiring to locate in Richmond are few and those that de sire to. in some instances ask more money than could be raised in this city for that purpose. It is an established fact that practically all of the factory territory lying north of Main street is at present monopolized, being owned by local concerns, and now the Commercial club is turning its attention to the South Side and that organization with the South Side association recommending South Side locations. Factories locating In the south end will hereafter have as good shipping facilities as any of those locating in the north end. if sites were accessible in that portion of the city. ShipptTS in the south end can ship and bill their goods over the Pennsylvania, paying only the transfer charges over the C, C. & L.. and this will be a great inducement for factories to locate in the southern portion of the city.
