BUREAU OF DEVELOPMENT
An Important Move by the Chamber
Of Commerce
Much Good Can Be Done For Los Angel s
II the Plans Outlined
Are Carried Out

A plan for the establishment of a bu-
reau of development as part of the work
of the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce has been formulated by the board
of directors One of the objects for
which the chamber of commerce was
created, as the charter of the organiza-
ton sets FORTH is to stimulate home
manufactures and to assist in the de-
velopment of the material resources of
Southern California. Work in these
lines has been greatly hampered by rea-
son Of the fact that most enterprises of
this sort are more or less matters of in
dividual or corporate interests.
1t is proposed to establish in the
chamber of commerce a bureau of de-
velopment under the charge of the
board of directors, the secretary and the
appropriate committees, which'shall re-
ceive, consider and file all propositions
or whatsoever sort, looking to the devel-
opment or the industrial resources of
the section, whether of public or pri-
vate character, which call for the in
vestment of capital, the same to be open
to the inspection and consideration of
all who have capital to invest or their
agents. All the propositions must be
typewriter and in duplicate and should
contain the names of several citizens of
good business standing.
All such propositions will be first con-
sidered either by the directors or by
some appropriate committee, and any
which are frivolous or impossible, or
which contain statements that are
clearly untrue, will be quietly returned
to their owners. The others will be
filed for the inspection of bona fide in
-t..Nu ,,.,II l. i
except with the wish of the projectors.
Every person who comes to examine
the file of projects will b. given plainly
to understand that the chamber of COM
merce does not endorse or recommend
any of them. 1t simply records them
for the convenience of those who desire
to enter upon Investigations of this
character. Great care will be taken to
allow no misrepresentation on this point.
The chamber cannot, of course, pass
upon the question of the merit of the
proposed investment. 1t simply offers
the would-be investor an opportunity
to investigate.
No fee of any sort will be charged in
connection with this work.
Members of the chamber are request
ed to offer the directors any suggestions
with regard to this line of work that
may occur to them. Any members who
have acquaintance that are likely to
be interested in the plan, either from the
side of the investor or the protector, will
help the interests of the country by call
ing their attention to the proposed
bureau of development. An undertake
ing of this sort cannot be contaminated
in short space of time. Some months
will elapse before it can be put in prac-
tical working order and made to accom-
plish any great amount of good In the
meantime every member of the chamber
who has the welfare of the section at
heart is asked to do all that he can to
forward the enterprise.

CHINATOWN QUIET
Speculation as to Who VIII Be Wong chee's
Successor

Speculation rs to Who VIII Be Wong chee's
chinatown is still quiet, and on the
surface everything appears smooth. The
recent murder of Wong Chez leaves the
position as head of the Bing On Tong
vacant, and much speculation is in
obliged in as to who will fill the dead
mans place. Fong Ark is understood
to be willing to take hold of the job, as
Is also All Yuk or fatty" his partner
Chee was an exceptionally able man in
MS position and it will be hard to find
a successor who can pull the strings
with as little friction among the men,
bers of his own faction as he did. There
Is also report that man Is coming
down from Portland and will assume
the reins dropped by Chez. How true
this is time alone can tell.
The notorious Charley All Him, a
leader of the opposing faction, the Hop
Sing Tong, is expected in this city any
day and will undoubtedly superintend
the defense of the two prisoners, Chew
Wing Cow, or big JIM" and Gong On
Chong, the hatchetmen accused of muir
dering Wong Chez. Meantime the Chi
nese quarter is as quiet and orderly as
model village, the heather keeping close
to their houses and appearing on the
streets as little as possible. An extra
force of police Is still kept on duty but
no trouble is looked for at present.
