BOOSTERS GATHER
IN FESTIVE MOOD
Redondo Beach Chamber of COM
merCe Holds Annual Ban
quet and Dance

REDONDO BEACH, Sept. 20.-Any
question as to Redondo Beach being
rlghtfully possessed of the title, "City
of Boosters" was eliminated tonight
when the Chamber of Commerce held
one of the largest banquets in the his
tory of the city.
1t was the first banquet Of the cham
Der at which the ladies were invited,
and they responded in equal numbers
to the men.
Rev. Robert J. Burdette acted as
POSTMASTER, and his original, witty re-
marks added to the enjoyment of the
occasion. Following the menu We're
toasts responded to as follows:
1.-The Ladies'" George H. Stewart.
publicity" Douglas White.
Optimism" Motley H. Flint.
"Sleepyheads," Frank G. Tyrrell.
PRESIDENT TALKS
President c.. H. Burnett of the
chamber of commerce delivered the an
nual address. OF especial interest was
his statements regarding the western
terminal of the Western Pacific rail-
way. In part he said:
"The Santa F'e Railway company Is
largely Increasing it's shipments OF
company
and has also just completed two traffic
agreements Of the utmost importance.
One is an agreement with the Western
Pacific for tho establishment of joint
rates, which virtually makes Redondo
Beach the tidewater terminal of the
Gould lines in Southern California. The
other is q similar agreement with the
the Southern Pacific, covering the es-
tablishment of joint rates from Re
dondo Beach to the Imperial valley and
all points on Southern Pacific lines
west of Ell Paso. These through rates
will enable the lumber companies and
others doing business through Redondo
Beach to reach territory which they
have never reached before, and the ul-
innate effect of these developments
upon the commerce of this port, espe-
cially after the completion of the Pan
ANA canal, is difficult to estimate
DANCE AFTER BANQUET
The rousing songs, including many
popular ditties and some new ones dis
tinctively Redondoan which were
Joined In with q will by all seated about
the banquet board, were pleasing
feature of the evening.
At the close OF the toasts the guests
danced in the ballroom of the hotel, a
fitting close to the most brilliant BAN
ouet ever given by the chamber Of
commerce.
