One of these site-sis considered as
ideal for the purposes of the Ford
Co. It can be made to combine
the best rail and water transporta-
tion facilities.
This information was given the
Evening Sentinel by a prominent city
official today.
It is his opinion that. the Ford
company on the recommendation of
its brokers will settle on the Norwalk
site because this city is found to be
admirably situated to feed New Eng—
land and New York with Ford prod-
ucts. and also because parts andma-
terial can be brought to the doors;ot_ -
the plant here, requisites which Ford
demands.
The land in the rear of the old
. Meadow street trolley car barns was
one of the sites that was particularly
liked by tire Ford brokers. according,
to the information obtained.
It the plans. was erected on the
Meadow street property. it was pinn-
ned to build a canal from the her-
.box- to the plant. so that material ,
{could be shipped to and from the
‘plant by water. A railroad aiding
would also be. run into gm factory.
It is not planned to manufacture
any Ford automobiles. but to amn-
blc them and make Nor-Walk the dis.

nnd part of New York state and Can—
ada.
. To supply the dealers in this large
. territory with Ford cars. it would res
quire at least a working force 0
2,000, the brokers said. '
The brokers carried the data. ob-
lained on the various sites back to
New York city and stated to the
Evening Sentinels informs t that he
would communicate with h m'inthe
near future and adflse him as to
what attitude the ofliciais of the
