Orange County Board of Trade Plan Offered Commerce Chiefs Draft Far-reaching Program To Restore Prosperity Continued from page 1 watched the trend of economic affairs in this county for many years with growing concern. In a decade we have seen the oil and citrus industries, mainstays of our county's life, move slowly downward from the peak that made Orange county one of the most prosperous in the Nation to a point where the per capita income of our people is, in far too many cases, insufficient for their daily needs. What is even worse, from the viewpoint of government, our tax base has followed the steadily sinking trend of per unit income from oil wells, citrus graves and other sources while the cost of County government, in a five year period, has risen 38 per cent. (Figure from the California's Taxpayers' Association). To the progressive minded, this state of affairs sounds a crying for action. As a result, and backed by the official action of 20 Chambers of Commerce within the County, the undersigned committee has been named by the Associated Directorate to study the problem and to make whatever recommendations we deem necessary. It is our belief that county funds spent for promotional work under the direction of the board of supervisors, should be materially increased. All of us realize that Kiwanians Told Of Anaheim's 'Water Fight' Terry Stephenson spoke Tuesday to the Anaheim Kiwanis club, tracing the early history of Orange County. He is a member of the historical society of Orange county and county treasurer. The speaker related the highlights in the life of Bernardo Yorba, early pioneer and owner of the Rancho Cajon de Santa Ana. He was introduced by Dr. M. M. Henderson, program chairman. Master Terry Kilduff, who won the fifth prize in the amateur show sponsored by the club, played several plano selections at the meeting. Stpehenson told of the historic "water fight" of the late 70's which split Orange county into two warring factions. Stephenson said he had drawn on some of the facts in his Bernardino Yorba, but that his speech contained much unpublished data. FABULOUSLY RICH DON Yorba was probably the most fabulously rich of all the Spanish dons; he owned literally an empire in southern California. After the founding of Anaheim in 1857, Stephenson said, the settlers obtained rights to a canal, part of which flowed across Yorba's cattle barony, and led to the Santa Ana river. Both the citizens of Anaheim and residents on the opposite side of the river obtained their water from the river. In the 75s a drought came and Anaheim's canal was dry. A law suit resulted, Anaheim claiming that its original deed to the canal gave it the right to a canal full for action. As a result, and backed by the official action of 20 Chambers of Commerce within the County, the undersigned committee has been named by the Associated Directorate to study the problem and to make whatever recommendations we deem necessary. It is our belief that county funds spent for promotional work under the direction of the board of supervisors, should be materially increased. All of us realize that money spent on promotion and exploitation of county resources constitutes an investment which can be made to bring abundant returns to the industrial, commercial and residential activities of the area. And we believe it is the duty of every one concerned to take such steps as to place our County on a par with neighbor counties to develop as rapidly as possible its resources for increased income from commerce, industry and agriculture, and to develop its unparalleled resources for gracious living. Wherefore we, the undersigned, respectfully recommend upon the Honorable Board of Supervisors, the following course of action: 1. Reorganize the County advertising department under the State Law act 1802, General Laws of California, for creating a County Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce. 2. Operate the resulting organization under the name of "Board of Trade" rather than Chamber of Commerce. 3. Select the five directors of the Board of Trade, one from each supervisorial district as provided by the statute, from such persons as are known to have an understanding of advertising and promotional effort in general. 4. For the post of manager of the Board of Trade, we suggest the selection of a person of proved ability, able to command a salary of not less than Five Thousand Dollars a year, and employed from outside the boundaries of the county. Such a person would have no pre-conceived convictions about County possibilities and could not be charged with being the political creature of any faction. 5. We recommend the addition of such help as may be necessary for the most efficient operation of the Board of Trade. 6. Exclusive of general functions described by the statute creating the Board of Trade, it is outside the boundaries of the county. Such a person would have no pre-conceived convictions about County possibilities and could not be charged with being the political creature of any faction. 5. We recommend the addition of such help as may be necessary for the most efficient operation of the Board of Trade. 6. Exclusive of general functions described by the statute creating the Board of Trade, it is our recommendation that said department and its manager be charged with the following specific duties: a. The preparation and maintenance of surveys covering industrial and home building possibilities within the county. Such surveys to be available to all. b. The coordination of work with the County Planning commission in order that community wishes dovetail with the Master Plan for the County. It is our suggestion that the Board of Trade become the official publicity source for the Planning Commission and that it be used by other County Departments as may desire to be so represented. c. All information collected by the Board of Trade shall be placed at the disposal of any County resident, save only in such instances as a dissemination of information prejudice or injure the outcome of a pending project. d. Along lines of policy as determined by the Board of Directors that the manager of the Board of Trade be responsible for the creation, preparation and insertion in media of his own selection of advertising and printed matter. e. That a further duty of the manager shall be to conduct at proper intervals a campaign to attract more tourist trade to Orange county, and that this campaign be supplemented by efforts to develop tourist attractions within the County. Its members are a motley crowd On but one thing they all agree Listen to their voices loud When they learn the feed is free. Most clubs declare their many aims And foster high ideal. Elect a driver to hold the reins And say a little during meals. Now this nameless club of guys Without excuse for its existence They seem to be too smart and wise To court such foolish sales resistance. So on its way it goes and goes Without concern or even worry Yet we know it grows and grows Because its members never hurry. The moral seems to be quite clear Tho the reason a bit hazy But there's nothing about it very queer Just make for eating easy. Just light your lamp as did Aladdin And hit the trail out to the sticks By the light you'll find McFadden Serving something at the stroke of six. f. The Manager be charged with preparation and dissemination of publicity matter for Orange county. g. That the Board of Trade be a central advisory agency for promotional work in localities unable to afford the expense of expert advice and assistance, and that such promotional aide be rendered at request, actual material expense to be met by the locality submitting the request. h. For creation and organization of the Board of Trade, that a budget of not less than $21,000.00 be set up this year.
