John J. Toohey, Esq 2 establish its plant provided it follows the recommen dations of the United States Public Health Service. I also send you herewith photostatic copy of letter dated December 6, 1934 from the Chairman of the Industrial Committee of the City of Orange in which he states that the City would be glad to welcome the Radium Company back to its old plant in Orange. However, you will note that the City's representative has requested the approval of the State Labor Commissioner as well as that of Dr. Martland who is still the Chief Medical Examiner of Essex County. From a very thorough knowledge of the sub je ct gained over a period of a number of years I can assure you that the conclusions arri ved at by Dr. Martland in his letter of February 11, 1935 are beyond question. I would therefore appreciate it very much if you would write a letter to me as counsel of the United States Radium Corporati on stating that the re-establishment of the plant of the United States Radium Corporation at 412 Alden Street, Orange, New Jersey would have the approval of the Department of Labor provided as Dr. Martland states, the company will follow the recommenda- tions specified by the United States Public Health Service. Here aga in may I state that the United States Public Health Service has gone into the matter very thoroughly and has made certain specific recommendations for carrying on the work in question which the Radium Company is only too glad to follow in every detail. Thanking you for your kind co nsi deration of the matter and with kindest personal regards, Sincerely yours, EAM:AG E. A. MARKLEY
