Kehce The Kettering Laboratory College of Medicine -- Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio v Dear Dr. Kehoe: I want to thank you for writing me regarding the Moore Battery Company which was planning to locate in the Hicks Manor Industrial Park in Fairfield, Ohio, which is just outside of the City of Hamilton and within Butler County. I have checked into this and it is apparent that their reputation has preceded them with the result that they were unable to obtain financing from local banks to permit their settling in Fairfield. I get the impression that they may be irresponsible financially as well as morally and professionally. It is possible that they may obtain the necessary financing elsewhere and still settle here. I will bring this matter to the attention of Mr, John Hicks who is developing this Industrial Park and will also take the liberty of letting the State Division of Industrial Hygiene know about this company against the possibility of their settling elsewhere in Ohio.' ' I cannot appreciate enough your thoughtfulness in letting me know about this l*3velooment and regret that a closer association does not exist with your department to permit me to see more of you. Sincerely, AW :mf Alexander Witkow, M.D., M.P.H Director of Health N 7979
