Recnmmend Nsw Industrial Building|: Mhmmflmmmfl Wdu w—w Repuh Distributed at |26 .1°2 A large industrial modern in construction, cenkmm‘sflylofi.ted and accessible to rail and water tranepor- tation, is recommended in the anoual report of the Chamber of m of Norwich, Conn.,, Inc, copies which were distributed at the st annual meeting of the chamber. held Friday evening in the ~ Chamber. of Commerce - building. reference is made to the Norwich has lost during the past year for lack of such a building two ,firet class_industries employing upwards of one thousand skilled mechanics. , The report says' that Norwich's inQustrial outlook was never more promising; aside from labor shortage, and that the city has little cause for complaint. The report, which covers a'score: of typewritten pages, says: In presenting this, our first annual report, we hope to arouse within our members a keener love for our city, for there is mo other spot on earth more deserving of our admiration and esteem. We like to think .of our. fac- tories, of our many mercantile houses, of our beautiful “churches, of our schools, of our historical points of in- terest, and yet above all of the glori- ous eacrifices our people are making dally in order that our form of gov- ernment may not perish from . the earth. The great heart of Norwich beats in unison when the far off cry of suf- fering humanity is heard and a s(re‘a of Eold flows out from its purse -of plenty when the churches, Y. M. C. A., Liberty bonds, soldiers _in_ camps, Knights of Columbus or Y. M. H. A. solicit our aid our patriotic people subscribe - hundreds . of thousands of dollars. ,Few Complain Noted. Owing to the, cntranle of the United States into the world war, much of the ordinary routine of regular Cham- ber of Commerce exertion- has . been subordinated to more real, vital on the part of your chamber—realizing that to render service to the state and national councils of defense:is of.first and supreme importance. otwith- standing the extraordina demands made upon this office, the 'secretary being called many times to attend meetings held in distant cities in-the interests of war problems, insofar as has some to our consideration few complaints have been noted that prop- cr attention was not being given. to all subjects of real importance. The tabulation of correspondence, of letters received and forwarded, will in a measure serve as an illustration of the scope-of the labor being perform- ed, and this report will serve as.a key to the kind of service being rendered the city of Norwich. the state and the nation by the Chamber of Commerce. No problem relating to the advance- ment or betterment of Norwich has been too large or too small for. our organization to grapple with. Vocational Education. Among the more worthy matters of note to be found in these pages per- haps is the report of the chambers special - vocational school committee, ard were it not for the fact that our country was plunged into war -at the very time this report was. rendered, | Norwich would have at the = present time a reorganized. modern school system. with buildings in character and in keeping with our geographical importance and our already noticeable growth. Mohegan Trail. Opening. murking and publicizing he Mohegan trail gave to Norwich Gniimited newspaper publicity and the trail in time to come will prove a lasting asset in bringing to the atten- tion of countless automobile tourists oar great histerical, industrial and scenic importance. Industrial Outlook. Norwich’s industrial outlook never more promising, aside from Ja- bor shertage, experienced by all in- dustrial centers where. products essen- tial to the success of the war are be- ing. manufactured. Norwicy has little cause for complaint. Million Dollar Elestric .Power Plant. With a miliion dollar electric power rlant to be erected in the heart_of Norwich, and with the assurance of almost unlimited power at a rate as low as’ the lowest, a greater demand for industrial sites and buildings - is sure to follow.

As a recommendation we feel, there- fore, justified. in urging -upon _tie newly elected board of directors-Nor- wich's great need ef an- industrial was | it was voted to of _the loa\ the members at the next meeting and discuss the advan- tages to be gained from such methods, also - to mmt local newspapers to refrain printing . advertisements ThAC wonta draw’. help - from Norwich g0 jothor clfle.i e question of co- operat; Was taken ,up, Fesulting ' in hveru-mnu for labor heing placed in 35 New England news- papers.

The annual report of the ‘manufac- turers’ bureay follows: In accordance with the by-laws a certificate of organization was issied to the manufacturers’ bureau on May 18, 1917.

He told of (he Home Garden movement which the chamber h-.d (aken: an active intereat in dur- past summer. Mr. James re- o the secretary, saving that tdo much praise could mot be given him for his work. He thanked the members of the chamber for their interest in its welfare. He also than ed the press for numerous courtesies which it shad. extended. . At the close of -his .rewiew, Mr, James introduced Mr. Foss of Springfield as the speak- er of the eveming. Mr. Foss spoke on the Relation of the Clamber of Com. Yhe Community should piay Chamber- of Commerce: = Mr. spoke as fellows: " The first Chamber of Commerce was founded in New -York state back in the vear, of 1796 and since then the cham- bers throughout -the . countrs ha progressed at various rates. T 1850, there were-less thun 25 in the coun- try--and: mow there .are over 3,000. A national federation of chambers was formed in. 1906. Why has this increase been made? Tt is due largely to the fact that the de- ‘elopment of ities has led te lems of jnterest o~ communities. Thete problems st be solved in some manzer. In a small town it was easy for every onz knew each oth- er. but in the big nlaces it dif- ferent. Therefore in order to get the n,. of ;the community it was best:to have one body which c {0 solve thgse problems. peration of membérs is the thing needed ia a successful chambe "The ids vic chambers is an old ope.and many Buropean coun- tries have adopted them and they are supported by taxation. Now this tax- fion does not tend to create interest in the body itself. If a man pays dues to the organization he naturally tak more interest in the body and that is! what is noeded in a chamber. With Jut interest #m ‘organization will de. The. Chamber of Commerce takes an interes: in the welfare of the com- munity 7» 1 on the other hand the eom- munity must surely take an interest in its' chamber of commerce. When we ' hive this cd-operation between community ‘and’ éhamber of commerce the chamber can do: . an- immense amount of' good. - Thre spirit of a mber; -0f -commerce should be to 1give and not to think mainly of what one is going-to get ont” of it. Service is: the “one -word which fits a success- hamber of commerce. Foss outlined briefly the work- ymmerce of thatr that body is doing for its city.. Many reip- ful ~suggestions, were gathered from Mr! Foss’s addréss. Following Mr. Foss's>* addry amembers. of the' chamiber' gave Mr. Foss a rising vote of thank R.'W.
