KOLL DESIRES TO HELP SHOPS ALREADY IN CITY A movement to furnish Richmond factories inducement to expand will be suggested by Hans Koll, secretary of the South Side Improvement Association, at the association meeting Tuesday night. He will ask the association to suggest to the Richmond Industrial Development company that prrt of a $100,000 fund being raised to bring new factories here, be used for home Industries. "Richmond is preparing to offer inducements to factories now located In other cities, with the Idea of having them move into Richmond," said Mr. Koll. "We must not forget that other cities are doing the same thing and factories which move, must move from some place. Perhaps if factories which move to get a bonus which will permit expansion of business would be aided, Richmond would lose no factories." Seeks No Contribution. The members of the improvement association will be asked to consider a "conservation of home industries" campaign, Mr. Koll said, but his plan is not to seek to have them pledge contributions for such purposes. "The association members have contributed liberally to the industrial development fund," he said, "and we feel that the association is really the pioneer in practical industrial development in Richmond, even though uur membership Is limited to a small section of the city. We are working without regard to our affiliations to make the vision of a bigger Richmond a reality."
