COMPANIES TO BE HELPED Home Industry Campaign Also la Iroposed to Btlmnlate Trade for Plants Prices Asked for Sites Deplored. In spite of the difficulties that have confronted Industrial enterprises en deavoring; to grain a foothold on the Pacific Coast in the past year, the bu reau of Industries and manufactures, of the Chamber of Commerce, has made large strides toward -the development of a broad plan for the fostering: of new enterprises, and these plans are expected to become operative and fruitful in the year to coma. John Talt, chairman of the bureau. SCHTELL, CAPTAUT. outlined the situation thoroughly In bis address delivered before the annual meeting Friday night. The two prob lems to be dealt with, be pointed out, are a better financing plan for begin ning industries and the development of stronger support of home products. "These two works must be performed by the industries and manufactures bu reau of the Chamber of Commerce, and will be," said Mr. Tait. "In solution of the first, the bureau has organized a plan that contemplates the estab lishment here of a financing company, controlled exclusively and wholly by the capital that Invests therein. Securities to Be Taken. "This comoany is to make (the mat ter of Industrial investment a straight forward business enterprise. It Is to take stocks or bonds of those com panies only which are able to make an adequate business showing. "In the second Important phase of this bureau's work that of helping the home product to an easier market in the home territory definite procedure has also been worked, out. "A home industry league as an aux iliary or department of this bureau has been organized and the .ways and means for its work are being shaped. The plan that has been submitted and accepted Is for the Chamber to con tribute $300 a month to this depart ment, the remainder of the funds nec essary to be raised by the companies most directly and immediately inter ested. "The borne industry league is to em ploy its own director or manager, and. working in close conjunction with the industries and manufactures bureau, is to launch a comprehensive campaign to popularize home products . where merit and price warrant. "The price of Industrial sites is one very strong consideration for the com munity to bear in mind.

For this reason the bureau has strongly recom mended to the Chamber a comprehen sive study of switching conditions and industrial sites in the community. This committee, after Its first meeting, con cluded to urge the extension or the switching district to cover territory that now is rather slow in its indus trial growth. . . Greater Zeal Needed. "Portland must support Its industries financially with greater zeal. That we can accomplish this through the or ganized work of a strong financing company, we believe. That there should be developed here high-class Industrial promotors, competent to analj ze busi ness problems and having the confi dence of investors of the community is apparent to all of us. "That our community must put In a higher percentage of its total invest ments into Industrial securities has been told over and over again until It is becoming tiresome. "Yet, the matter of a payroll here; the matter of a commerce that comes from Industrial establishments and the matter of putting this community upon a sounder industrial basis is being presented every day of the year, and will continue to be thrown forward as our leading effort from the view point of the Industries and manufac tures bureau until we have gained success." BRIDGE TOLLS $668 IN DAY Total of 022 9 Passengers and 1448 Motor Vehicles Cross Sunday. Interstate bridge tolls last Sunday totaled $668.20. Including streetcar passengers, the number of persons to cross the bridge was 9229, while 1448 automobiles and motorcycles passed the gateroan. Seventeen head of livestock and 20 - animal-drawn vehicles com pleted the total of the receipts for the day. Toll tickets will be put on sale by the commission at the Woodard A Clark drugstore. at the Piedmont Pharmacy, at Killlngsworth and Union avenues, and at the Vancouver car waiting-room at Second and Washing ton streets in this city in the near future to facilitate transportation across the big structure. This will not affect streetcar pas sengers, whose toll Is collected as a fare and registered by the company. The tickets, however, will be accepted in payment. The new plan will do away with much of the delay that has been caused to pedestrians and other traffic by the elimination of the neces sity of the gateman making change as he has been required to do from time to time.
