[} DOUGHERTY FAVORS . INDUSTRIAL PLANS inj Believes Development { Some Lines Would Not Mar Beauty of Capital. Voicing his approval of Washing- ton's industrial and commercial ex-| ansion, Commissioner Proctor L.| ougherty, in a statement containing | his indorsement of the forthcoming industrial exposition of the Washing- ton Chamber of Commerce, yesterday declared he believes the economic de- velopment of the ional Capital should in no wise interfers with the plans for its beautification Accompanying his indorsem: the plan to further the Indus: pansion of the District, er Dougherty appealed to its citizens to co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce in making the event suc ceesful, thereby promoting the well- being of the city and its environs Commissioner Dougherty indicated that it Is his opinion that the ec nomic growth of the community should be given very definite stimu Iation. He expressed the view that this can be done effectively without vearing unsightly structures or in- terfering with the well planned scheme to enhance the pleasing appearance of the Capital City. Firmly Behind Plan. The Commissioner takes the posi- tlon that apropriate steps should be taken to ake the community still mora self-supporting, and he looks i upon the industrial exposition as an effective means for furthering the movement to attain this end “I am very firmly behind this plan to develop within the District of Co- lumbia certain types of business en- deavor,” said Mr. Dougherty, “which, while conforming to all the zoning laws and in no wise affecting the broad plan for the beautification of the National Capital, nevertheless will be an increasingly constructive @emant within the community &nd aid in no uncertain fashion in its tutute economic process. In his statcment Mr. took occasion to quiet those who view any attempi 1o up- build Washington economically as ¢n attempt to do violence to its esthetic aspirations. Sces Future in Suburbs. “It is clear to me,” said the Com missioner in_this connection, “that, within certain very definite limits, the plans for the beautification of our wonderful city and the plan for mak- important than it cial sense can move forward hand in hand, the one aiding the other.” The significance of the hopes which civic leaders have of adding to the industrial and comme: now possessed by the National Cap- ital was portrayed as having a broad scope and one which Mr. Dougherty views as having a_definite and direct effect upon the whoie territory s rounding the District of Coium In discussing this phase the Coramis- sioner visioned the possibilities for economic growth which are offered in various sections contiguous to the District. “As described by your committee, it is a real pleasure for me to place my indorsement upon this project,’ said the Commissioner. “In connec- tion with this whole pian, which, as| 1 see it, has a_very deep meaning for the District of Columbia as a whole and the individual citizens thereof, the part which can and no doubt will | be played by certain territories con. tiguous to the National Capital is of | first importance. i Some Locations Ideal. | “There are certain locatfons imme- | diately beyond the confine city which have all the advantages, as factory sites and industrial com- munities, ‘of any region in the entire | country.” They leave nothing to be desired from any point of view and the development, the sound and wel | informed - development of commercial | endeavors there, will have a very defi- | nite and a very constructive effect wibon the life of the District of Colum- Dougherty the fears of In this connection, Commissioner Dougherty gave emphatic approval to the plan to assemble in an industrial exhibition specimens of the various | business activitites which are carried on in and around the city. | “The development of these regions | for the purpose in mind,” Mr. Dough- erty sald, “will be of quite as marked benefit as that of thos intra-city endeavors whose cumulative efforts will be so graphically displayed at the industrial exposition of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. Exposition March 9. { “With such a development, that of one distinct type within the city, and another very distinct type out- side the city, yet within not more then a very few minutes’ ride from it, Washington will be possessed of a mighty force which will work for its economic upgrowth and its gen- eral elvic development. “Such an event as the industrial exposition will serve to focus atten- tion upon these and man) other points which thoughtful citizens un- doubtedly will readily recognize as of the very greatest significance. The exposition, eduled for March 9 to 19 at \hc Washington Auditorium, is planned to display a variety of exhibits indi ing the in- dustrial and commercial endeavors of the community.
