The rec- i i i ommendation came in a report to the Board of Directors, the first since the commission was set up in 1951. An industrial foundation, Burr explained, is a group of public-spirited citizens who will acquire land and buildings and hold them for industrial and business prospects wishing to locate here. He disclosed that the commission is working on several prospects at the present time and "we are three-quarters of the way" to success. "We hope these plans jell soon," he said. He declined to make public the names of prospects interested in locating here.

In making the report, Burr pointed out that space and labor are the most important inducements to business or industry thinking of locating here. Insurance Considered He stated that the commssion is attempting to locate insurance companies here, inasmuch as there are several thousand insurance workers in Manchester. Burr added that, everything being equal, it is believed that the majority of these workers now employed in Hartford, would prefer employment in the town in which they reside. It was revealed that several Boston insurance firms have indicated interest in locating in Manchester. Burr said that one of the major reasons the Farm Bureau Insurance Co.

of Ohio located in New Haven instead of Manchester is that this town did not have space available. In describing the general pic ture. Burr said that Manchester needs more tax revenue from sources which will not increase the financial burden on the town. Warehouses were cited by the commission head as one example. He appeared to favor the establishment of a shopping center here.

He said that it. Hvould be "too bad" if such center "is located just over the line in East Hartford. That town would receive al lthe advantages tax-wise from construction and the business of such a center." Appropriation Approved After a public hearing the board voted an appropriation of $10,000 for repairs at Greenhaven. The 82-unit temporary housing project for veterans was built here in 1947 at a cost of $400,000. Half the cost was borne by the town and the rest by the State.

The life of the project has been extended several times. The terms of the public act under which it was built scheduled its demolishment in May. if another extension of its existence is not made by the Legislature. Pension Amendment The board voted, 5 to 2, to make an amendment to the pension ordinance. This amendment gives increase to more than 20 retired town workers now receiving retirement pay.

The ordinance also sets the minimum pension at $25. The $1000 annual maximum pension! wns not increased. Former Police Chief Samuel Gordon is the only pensioner tvin 1., retired in 1947 at the maximum! pension rate after more than 40 4u tk Dentistry and Your Health."
