Belden Brick Co. originated in 1885, when Henry S. Belden, a Canton attorney, discovered coal and clay deposits on the family farm adjoining Moore Road S.E. With the participation of local industrialists, he formed a company to produce stoneware and brick. From this modest beginning, when output was approximately 6,000 brick per day, delivered locally, the company has grown to its current stature, with eight plants representing a combined capacity of some 250 million brick per year.
The present board chairman, Paul Belden, Sr., is the son of founder Henry S. Belden, and the firm continues under family management, with Paul Belden, Jr. (the founder's grandson) as president today.
Besides architectural face brick, the company produces a wide line of shale and fireclay acid proof brick in many shapes and sizes, for steel mills, chemical plants, paper mills, and many other installations subject to severe acid conditions. It also makes various floor brick units for industrial applications, food plants, etc.
Washington Wire
GOP member Byrnes are skeptical. They believe it is wrong for U.S. money to be used by other jurisdictions. Some wealthy states don't want to be taxed to provide funds for other states. Many legislators say local governments haven't fully utilized tax resources. They say spending on problems like welfare are matters of national concern. Congress should insist that local governments adhere to minimum standards.
But the revenue-sharing plan is far from dead, despite this opposition. Mayors and governors are striving to overcome Congressional reluctance. They will be exerting powerful pressure on lawmakers from their states. (Their blitz killed efforts to limit tax-exempt bonds sales). And Mr. Nixon has given the idea highest priority within his Administration. He wants to give states and localities new responsibilities.
A CRACKDOWN ON INDUSTRIAL POLLUTERS IS COMING from a new U.S. agency. The new Environmental Protection agency wants control systems installed now. The agency admits there are technical problems in curbing some pollutants. But EPA sees enough knowledge available to launch a vigorous cleaning up. And it wants industry to use this technology voluntarily starting at once. Officials see no excuse for delaying in applying proven methods of control.
EPA has plenty of power to force industry to comply with its demands. It can call upon the Federal courts to compel the offenders to obey. Stiff fines, not to exceed $2,500 a day, can be assessed against polluters. Willful violations of the regulations can result in jail sentences for executives.
INDUSTRY SHOULD BEGIN TO PREPARE FOR NEW JOB SAFETY and health rules. The Federal government has moved into the safety field in a very large way. Congress has given it the power to set standards for almost all companies. Only those firms not engaged in interstate commerce will get an exemption. The Labor Department has already begun gearing up for its new responsibility. A gradual buildup in the number of Federal inspectors is already planned from the present force of 100 up to a possible 4,000 in just five years.
