What a r e Bowmanvile's prospects of attracfing new industrv? In compiling industrial data an aur own, and in a series of conferences witb gavernmen. transportation a n d financiai authorifies, if has been found that Bowmanville can offer many attractive featumes ta new industries, but that it alsot bas some sbortcomings.J On Credit Side On the credif side of the ledgem we find the best of transportation facilifies, bath highway and rail; ample elec- ' fric power and water; an ample z supply of womkems - unskilled, semi-skilled and skillcd. thet makings of an excellent port if if shouid ever be requimed; good industrial sites adjacent to highways and railways,- close proximify fa Toronto and rea-t sonable proximity foalal the P markets of Eastern Canada;c excellent social and recrea- i tionai facilifies which modein indusfry demands for ifs work- ers. Somne Shortcomings On the debit side we finri that many of our industr!;al sites, although exceilenitly sit- uated, are not presently ser- viced with water, power and/or sewers. These are not insur- mountable problems, and as the town expands its facilities (which it is bound to do, wihh or without industry), adequa-,e provision for future industry can be made. Furthermore, many an industry, given ampPe water and power (which. we can most easily supply), can use septic tanks as a substituts for sewers. Our most serious lack is in factory buildings. Thisis a handicap which the ciies themselves can overcome, and iL is Lo deal with this phase of industrial development that tlwse articles have been writ- Jten. lVhy Industries Rent Why doesn't industry want to build and pay for its ovin factory buildings? Prosperous and long-established companios will often do so, but a brand- new company or a small and rapidly expanding one needs its available funds for mach- ines, research, market develop- ment, and for inventories of, raw mat erials, finished and semi-finished products. It just hasn't enough ready cash for ail these purposes and to buy a factory too, but it knows At can meet its annual rent out, of earnings. Cs This practice of conserving cash for current operations and expansion is firmly established in modern business life, andi extends far beyond the renting of buildings. Many of today's leading industries rent the trucks and tank-cars its pro- ducts are transported in, the cars its salesmen drive, and even the machines that malize its products. Yes, it is a souild and time-proven practice for an expanding industry to rent its buildfings out of current earnings and to concentrate its cash on manufacturing and selling the products for which the company was organized. It is an equally sound and time-proven practice, and pro- fitable too, for a company ta specialize in erecting and rent- ing factory buildings for in- dustry. à A~ig :St. E. 31A -5839~ Over 500 Industries Bowmanville Over the past five ycars, M newý industries havé been c, tablished in Ontario.

The committee ideally con- sists of about 15 members, one of whomn is elected to act a5 chairman and another to act aý secretary. Four sub-committee. are aiso elected or appointed fromn the members of the or- ganizing committee to deal wit] legal matters, real estate, fin- ance, and construction. These sub-committees are as- signed specific jobs and spec- fic completion dates, and when ail committee reports have been submitted, studied, dis- cussed and co-ordînated, ani other generai meeting of in ter- ested citizens is called for the specific purpose of forminga limited company and electing its first officers. Begins to SeIl Shares Having cstabiisbed the a. maunt of capital requimed, the campany then proceeds ta sell the necessary shares. Ideally, these shares are law-piced so thaf every citizen, no matter bow limifed bis means, is able ta become a shaeholder. Be- ing a community project, i1 may be well ta limît the num- ber of shares that any oner persan may buy. Broad awn- ersbip is also desirable, for evemy shareholder automatie- ally becomes a booster for the company and thus for the comm un ify. Many Types of Payment The shiames can be sohd for cash payment in full, or for 10% down and the balance due wben a contmact with a new industmy bas been signed. A land-owner may seli bis land ta flic company in exchange for shares, or take bis payment partly in cash and partly in shames. Simiiarhy, cifizens in the building trades can buy shares in cxcbange for labour and/or matemials instead of cash. If the shames are sohd for cash payment in full, the campany can invest its cash in gavern- ~ment bonds until it is needed for actual factory construction. By this means, the shamebohd- ers' money does not lie idle, but is put ta work igbt away. Different Sizes As soan as the company is arganized, if obtains plans for thrce or more different sizes of factory - prcferably of 8,000, 12,000 and 20,000 squame feet of floor space - wbich are the commanest sizes demanded by new industries. If obtains ac- cumate building casts, emection time, asscssment and tax data, and lines up the construction contractars for a lightnîng starf wbcn needed. Then when an industry cames along and picks, "Plan X," if can insfanfly be told wbat- the annual rentai will be and haw soan the fac- tory wili be ready for bim ta niove in. No construction or purchas- ing of materials takes place unf il the prospective industry bas passed a close investigation and bias signed a long-termn lease or ent-purchase agree- ment. Company Keeps Building Having carcfully investigated the tenant and bis business prospects, theme is no foresce- able reasan wby the deal shouldi rail. Howcver, shouid the in-i dusfry fail or for any reason 1 discanfinuE ifs apemafians and vacate, the camnpany stili lias the building fa atfmact another indusfry. No Santa Claus Element As sfafed in iast wcek's art- icle, theme 15 no "'Santa Claus" element involved in this plan, nar is if a "get-ricb-quîck" pro- position. If is a sound, clear- :ut business deal in wbich bath rides stand fa profit. Industmy gef s the factary if needs with- out spcnding ifs capital, while he factory awncms bave a pro- itable invesfmenf that pays ad- ditional dividends in reduced residenfial taxes and increased prosperity for the communify Lt large. Plan Is Endorsed The Bawmanville Chamberj of Commerce presents this pro- posed plan of industriai devel- opment fa the citizens of Bow- manville only affer cameful study and wif h the conviction that if is a sane and saundl plan. ILt is a plan of action endorsed by the Lake Ontario IDevelopment Association (or- ganized wifh flhc backing and assistance of fthe Ontario Gov- ernmenl), and bas already a.d off for numerous Ontario fow ns and cifies.

What are our chances of -at tracting one or more of th new industries of the future? Building "On Demand" There being more towns thai there are new industries in; given year, even if Bowrnan ville had everything that in dustry is looking for, therei no guarantee that we wou! strike pay-dirt. It is a saf assumption, however, that ou~ chances would be immeasure ably improved if we had - company ready to put up fac tory buildings on demand. "On demnand" did you say' That's right - "on demand2 It would be foolhardy specula tion to erect a building in th( hope that an industry wou]( corne along and rent it. Ever if an industry were interested the building might not be o. the right -ize, shape or loca. tion.
