Industrial Committee Issues Report At Civic Progress Week Meeting "Orange county needs industry. The recent sewer report projected population curves to 1960, predicted Orange county population at 500,000 people. Such a population demands supplemental sources of new income to present totals if this additional population is to survive. "Agriculture frontiers have been saturated. There is no more vacant land for plow shares to exploit in Orange county. On the contrary, agricultural acreage will shrink as subdivisions, industry and other uses take over the land inevitably followed by reduced production and income. "Tourist trade, although not fully exploited, offers little potential in increased income. "In view of these facts, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is in dead earnest about acquiring new industry. It is geared to solicitation and servicing of prospects for new plant location. We are indeed solicitous of the welfare and prosperity of our existing industries. "During the past year our Industrial Committee has witnessed the construction, occupation and operation of the KwiKset Locks, Incorporated, a plant which meets our concepts of a model industrial plant; inasmuch as it (a) offers diversification from citrus operations; (b) freedom from air pollution and other nuisances; (c) sets fine example in neighborliness, labor, public relations and factory working conditions." "Anaheim has also witnessed the travel between Anaheim and Los Angeles. "The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, in its newly equipped headquarters and with the addition of Mr. Frank Miller to the staff, will be in a much better position to efficiently process industrial prospects. "Another major accomplishment in the year is the declared willingness of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce to join forces for the acquisition and proper location of industry. We heartily support the efforts of the Industrial Committees of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county and offer cooperation in its efforts to prepare a sound county-wide industrial policy and plans. "County-wide plans for industrialization call for sympathetic understanding on the part of the county officials for no county plan can be successful without first authorizing a comprehensive industrial survey and, secondly, creating a plan of promotion to attract the attention of industry. "Thirdly, it calls for the passage..." During the past year our Industrial Committee has witnessed the construction, occupation and operation of the Kwikset Locks, Incorporated, a plant which meets our concepts of a model industrial plant; inasmuch as it (a) offers diversification from citrus operations; (b) freedom from air pollution and other nuisances; (c) sets fine example in neighborliness, labor, public relations and factory working conditions. "Anaheim has also witnessed the expansion and construction of the new plant of the Mutual Citrus Products. "The Committee is happy to report the location of the Forest-McGinnis Furniture Company who are presently constructing a fine new plant of some 35,000 square feet in the north M-3 Industrial district. "Many problems confront the Industrial Committee's efforts to attract industry to Anaheim. Some of these problems are being solved. With the overwhelming passage of the sewer bond issue, one of the major hurdles to Orange county industrialization has been removed. Then again the Santa Ana Freeway, although partly completed, will remove the hurdle of delayed and circuitous highway of Commerce of Orange county and offer cooperation in its efforts to prepare a sound county-wide industrial policy and plans. "County-wide plans for industrialization call for sympathetic understanding on the part of the county officials for no county plan can be successful without first authorizing a comprehensive industrial survey and, secondly, creating a plan of promotion to attract the attention of industry. "Thirdly, it calls for the passage of the planning commission's approved amendment to the county land-use act providing for the zoning of the county so that sound practices of industrial policing can be introduced.
