MEMBERS ALL OVER With the view of extending the recent membership drive, the Orange County Harbor C. C., constituting harbor district of Balboa, Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, held a banquet last evening in the Costa Mesa Woman's clubhouse. In the recent drive 1000 new members were secured. The goal is 1000 members and 'over the top." The drive will be extended all over Orange-co and later an invasion will be made into Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Guests of the chamber included the Orange-co supervisors and the Orange-co Harbor Ass'n. Details of the activities of the harbor organization were presented and plans for the future were outlined. It is expected that commerce will start through the harbor with light daught boats and by barging to and from San Pedro, to develop tonnage. When congress meets in the fall the chamber hopes to have a record of tonnage to present to the River and Harbors commission. Another jetty will be constructed at the harbor, while deepening the channel and turning basin. Already there is quite a waiting list of boat lines and shipping concerns ready for business through the port. Another month will see the paving completed at the twin beaches and the bridge will be finished. 2, $17,283.19; No. 3, $63,304.02; No. 4, $11,857.46; No. 5, $19,678.56.
