Annual Report of Secretary G. W. Reid Work Accomplished by C. of C. During Past Year Following is the annual report of George W. Reid, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, recently submitted to that body: "To the board of directors and members of the Chamber of Commerce: "The following report of the work attempted and completed during the year 1925-26 is respectfully submitted. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is one of the outstanding organizations, not only in the County of Orange, but in the cities of Southern California, because of the unanimity of action, and its almost universal cooperation of the forces within the city for the best interests of the city. The directors of the Chamber of Commerce, composed of the following outstanding men in whom the public has complete confidence: H. E. Barnes, F. A. Packs, Leonard Evans, F. N. Gibbs, Dr. J. G. Hillary, Dr. H. A. Johnston, Sld McGraw, William Stark, H. N. White, F. A. Yungbluth, E. E. Smith and Horace Henjamin, have worked with all the service clubs of our city, with the city officials, the American Legion and the religious organizations, and have at all times had their unstinted support. Your attention is first called to the publicity given the city of Anaheim and surrounding district. Not only has publicity been given through magazines and papers, but the radio has been brought into play. Rev. Thomas Walker gave one of the most interesting articles on the city of Anahelm over K. H. J. that has been presented. There has been secured a half page in the Los Angeles Examiner, and two half pages in the Los Angeles Times, presenting pictures and stories of our city. This was accomplished without any expenditure to the Chamber of Commerce. The California Southland Citrus Leaves, California Real Estate, Citrograph, the Santa Fe Magazine, The Earth, and several of the oil magazines have each carried excellent articles on Anaheim." It had a letter endorsing the tractor. "The Soda Potash Company was investigated thoroughly from every standpoint. Its officials went far enough to get an option on the Sugar Plant, and to bring their chemist here. A conference with the industrial committee and some bankers and promoters of Los Angeles was held in the city hall. After this investigation, it was turned down. "The Rubber Products Company was offered ten acres of ground if they would sign an agreement to do what they promised. After investigating this company with the industrial department of a railroad, the committee demanded a reply from them within a certain period of time, and this did not materialize. "The Selbel Air Spring Company located here of its own accord and then sought assistance through the Chamber of Commerce. Meetings were held with Mr. Henry Selbel and some of his salesmen. The committee thought well of his product, but did not give a letter for the purchase of stock. This company is here, and Mr. Selbel, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, thinks that it will materialize satisfactorily to him and everyone else. "Olde Homesteads Products Co., Inc. owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Pratt of Los Angeles, moved their business to Anaheim and established the Orange County Products Company. They received a letter from the Chamber of Commerce endorsing their products. They are located on La Palma street, near Los Angeles. "The Golden West Fur Company of Arcadia received more attention than any other industry during the year. They sought ten acres of industrial tract. They stated clearly what they would do if the Industrial Land Company would deed them ten acres. These men were looked up carefully, their financial standing was found, and ability as business men, and the market for their products. After many conferences, and several visits by the committee to the Arcadia plant, the industrial committee insisted that they sign their name to what they agreed to do. Up to the present time this has not been signed. To give ten acres to any industry means a gift of $27,000; certainly the Community Industrial Land Company will demand a pay roll for such a gift." "The outstanding publicity given the city is the Arrowhead Magazine, which was published in July. Thirty thousand copies of this magazine was published and distributed over the United States and Canada in every agency of the Union Pacific railroad. The Union Pacific railway also has distributed six thousand copies of 'Anaheim in Pictures.' Supplementing this, a beautiful float was placed in the Tournament of Roses, another float was placed in the Armistice Day parade. An economy run was made from Anaheim to Big Bear. This publicity was heard from as far east as Shreveport, Louisiana. Anaheim participated in the Boulder Dam project by planting a tree in the park and having appropriate exercises. Five thousand letterheads, beautifully illustrated, were printed by the county, and our citizens have assisted in distributing these generally over the United States. The National Editorial Association, meeting in Los Angeles, was entertained one day in Orange county. Some fifteen cars belonging to Anaheimers were used in transporting this body of seven hundred men over the county. The reaction received from these visitors indicates that Anaheim did not hold any second place to any city in our county. This publicity has been carried throughout the United States. A booth in the Orange County Fair was put on by the Chamber of Commerce and the local farm bureau. "With the aid of the orange show, we find that ten thousand inches, or one hundred sixty pages of advertising has been secured for Anaheim. Certainly there has been no city more generously advertised than our own." Good Roads "The good roads committee, under its chairman, William Stark, has worked faithfully and secured the following projects: The paving of North street from the city limits to Placentia avenue. North street has been opened almost through to the Santa Ana river. This will be of material service to the community in case of a flood. Working in conjunction with the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, Spadra Road is to be widened and paved from the Fullerton city limits on the south to Anaheim city limits. Lemon street, north of Los Angeles street has finally been secured after continuous effort covering a period of three years. Under the Mattoon Act, this road will be taken over by the trustees of the city of Anaheim and the roadopened and straightened from La Palma street to Harvard avenue in Fullerton. The widening and paving of Palm street has received the..." This will be of material service to the community in case of a flood. Working in conjunction with the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, Spadra Road is to be widened and paved from the Fullerton city limits on the south to Anaheim city limits. Lemon street, north of Los Angeles street has finally been secured after continuous effort covering a period of three years. Under the Mattoon Act, this road will be taken over by the trustees of the city of Anaheim and the roadopened and straightened from La Palma street to Harvard avenue in Fullerton. The widening and paving of Palm street has received the earnest attention of the Chamber of Commerce in cooperating with the city trustees and this will soon be a fact. A number of meetings have been attended by the Road committee concerning the opening of Manchester road. Our Chamber of Commerce has, up to the present time, taken no definite action. A committee has appeared before the board of supervisors favoring the building of a bridge over Santa Ana river between Garden Grove and Costa Mesa. Industries "Most of the following industrial projects have come to the attention of the industrial committee. Some of these have received an endorsement, but in no instance has the Chamber of Commerce given an endorsement asking the people of this community to purchase stock. The purchasing of stock in any project whatever, is beyond the province of any Chamber of Commerce. The industry can, and will be endorsed when worthy, but a request or recommendation from the Chamber of Commerce to buy stock in anything, will never be given by your Chamber of Commerce. The industries mentioned below desired to locate in Anaheim, and most of them sought financial aid from the Chamber of Commerce. Every one of these has received the unstinted support and investigation of the Chamber of Commerce. The industrial committee spent many hours of time in investigating these projects." The Simpson Flotation Cell was among the first, then followed the Fageol Tractor. The Fageol Tractor spent six months in Anaheim trying to raise ANAHEIM GAZETTE business firms added to the list within the year. Since the first of July we have lost six business houses, gained twelve. In passing we wish to call your attention to the fact that unless the rule governing the disposal of industrial waste into the outfall sewer, no city in Orange county can expect to secure an industry until the phrase saying 'that no industrial waste can be placed in the sewer' be changed to read 'industrial waste which can be proven to be injurious to the sewer, shall be barred from using it.' "The Chamber of Commerce endorsed the Board of Supervisors' ordinance about testing the sale and delivery of gasoline in the county. Fair Ground "The present location of the Fair Ground site has been sought by your Chamber of Commerce for several years, this at last, has been accomplished. P. E. Railway "The problem of securing the P. E. Railway into the city of Anaheim has been worked on for several years. Mr. Pontius, vice-president of the Pacific Electric Railway, has stated that by connecting Orange with Fullerton, through Anaheim, he believed this loop would be turned into a paying line. This will ultimately be accomplished, and the Chamber of Commerce is not ceasing its work on the proposition until it is. Tree Planting "Tree planting in Anaheim has been discussed yearly for some time. Last year the committee from the different organizations, service clubs and the city manager met with an expert from Los Angeles, Mr. Everett Braunton. This expert suggested that the city frame a ordinance. The Pomona ordinance on tree planting was secured and turned over to the city authorities for action. We presume a tree ordinance will be made in the near future. Committees from different organizations are taking it up again in planty of time for planting trees this year. Anahie Truck and Transfer Fraudise "Under the decision of the Railroad Commission, regarding truck and transfer companies, the Anaheim Truck and Transfer Company was required to secure a franchise from the Railroad Commission, which ended the case. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce defended the merchants of this city before the Railroad Commission in Los Angeles." Mexican Situation "The Mexican situation is another question that comes up yearly. At one time it was thought that the ranch known as the Shaffer Ranch, located close to the Community Industrial Land site, could be made into a modern Mexican city. The committee investigated this thoroughly and found it would take about $50,000 to do it. The committee found it would be unable to raise this amount of money. At the request of the city officials, the civic improvement committee of the Chamber of Commerce amended the zoning ordinance for garages, sales rooms, junk shops and dismantling plants. Working with the Merchants Association and the city authorities and organizations in this city, one of the finest celebrations was held last year on Halloween night. Twenty thousand visitors came to our city to enjoy the festivities. City Extension "The city extension committee has during the past six months secured by personal visitation, the opinion of the voters included in the coryttery between the city limits and Placentia avenue. This committee reported to the trustees that about six hundred fifty acres in this territory were read; to come into the city limits. Rabbit Show "The Chamber of Commerce has succeeded in getting the national convention of Rabbit's and Cavys to meet in our city December 6 to 11, have assisted the city trustees in their desire to secure more water for the city of Anaheim. Through this committee an analysis was secured at the sugar factory. The two wells which the city purchased from the Anaheim Sugar Company was unanimously endorsed by the water committee of the Chamber of Commerce. These wells will give Anaheim ample supply of water for years to come. The water situa-tion in this district and in the county demands the closest attention of every organization in the county. Anaheim sent fourteen men to the water meeting held at Riverside, when delegates from the three counties, San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange, met with the federal authorities to consider the impounding of water in the San Bernardino mountains and what other measure might be secured for the conservation of water and the re-forestation. A new organization to work was formed recently to work in conjunction with the supervisors for the above purpose. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is a member of this organization. These are the outstanding things that your Chamber of Commerce has started and accomplished during the past year. The program for this year is just as big. There is no time to be lost if Anaheim will keep to the front in the great public work that is going on in Orange County. It will have to be continually on the job. If we can all work with one accord, what results can be accomplished?" Automobile Notes Nealy 100 improvement associations in the city and county of Los Angeles have added their opposition to the proposed increase gas tax measure that will appear on the ballot as No. 4. These associations acted through the Affiliated Improvement Associations which at its last meeting formally went on record against proposition No. 4. Similar action has been taken by various statewide organizations. These included the State Federation of Labor, the California League of Municipalities, the California Taxpayers Association, the State Farm Bureau, and the State Grange, representing over 1,000 local organizations.
