Weiss ' Article Says Town ' s Top Asset Is Labor Brookhaven town s greatest asset is its skilled and unskilled labor market , according t. ,i Leslie Weiss , chairinan of the Hrock- haven Industrial and Advisory committee and prcsidcni . of the Patchogue Electric Light Company. . Air. Weiss \ statement was con- tained in an extensive itri-ele he wrote for the American 'Junker , ami which appeared in the ptthlica- 1 ion ' s \ T o vomlier 1*0 issue. The article pointed on ' , that more than 8 , 000 skilled workers commute from 2(1 to 1-I0- miles a day to places of emp loyment out- side of Brookhaven town. \Most of these peop le have indicated that they much preferred lo work locally at lesser rates than to commute daily, \ Mr. Weiss said. \Most of them consider the time spent in goinn to and from work is, of considerable value , as they are home owners and 'do-it-your- self fans. \ Mr. Weiss wont on to say that more than SO diversified industries within the town ' s corporate limits are satisfied with their conditions. \About rill per cent of the con- cerns operating within Brookhaven town were originally established on Long Island , and 41 per cent migrated from Brooklyn , New Jersey, Manhattan and the Bronx. While their prim' iry market is within the 11. S., four serve local Long Island and two export products all over the world , \ the article continued. It was noted that the malingers of the various concerns hav? rated the area from \ good\ to \ excel- lent, \ concerning the possibility for further expansion. They were especially complimentary about effectiveness of trucking services available. Transportation as a whole was given an i xcellcnt rating. \Heal estate taxes were not considered a substantial part of the cost of production , \ Mr. Weiss said. Other advantages weiv listed as favorable climate , nearness to New York city , adequate water supply, a Central Long Island location , good housing facilities , new schools , room to grow , in- telligent and good quality labor , and local good trucking service . He added that one prominent area is the Island Industrial Park which serves 11 industries and is located within the village of Patchogue. lt has 100 , 000 square feet ,,f floor space which is available at ex- ceptionally low rentals , he con- cluded. ft :UW^ SINGER | §J^(M EM S AN WQ 1 W ^^£^^j B AG 1 The Ideal Christmas Gift !
