FACTORY

DEVELOPMENT

on

The Survey of Industrial De- velopment relating to 1936, ́re- cently published by the Board of Trade, contains a great deal of Interesting information- on the subject of the opening of new fac- tories, and statistics are also given of factories which have been ex- tended and those which have

been closed.

fac-

In the year 1935, 514 new tories were opened. and by the end of 1936 these were. affording employment to 63.750 persons. In In 1938, 551 factorles were opened, and by the end of the year they were giving employment to 53,000 persona,

Of course it must be borne in mind that many of those opened in 1936 would not have reached their full development by the end of that year, and that explains why it is that the larger number of factories opened in 1936 as compared with 1935 had not by the end of 1936 provided as much additional employment as those which had started in the previous year.
