GETTING CONVENTIONS.

No opportunity has been
overlooked to secure conven-
tions for Chattanooga. Sew
eral substantial conventions
have been secured, the most no.
table instances Of which were
when the Chamber had the sup
port of the local representa-
tives of the organization in
vited. Among these were the
Khorassans, for 1921; Bakers
and Glass Blowers, for this
year. There has been CORE
spondence with hundreds of
others that may bear fruit
later.

PRESIDENTS CLUB.

A helpful innovation of last
year was the organization OF
the Presidents Club by the
Chamber of Commerce. This
group of civic and commercial
executives meets regularly IN
an advisory way to the Cham
Der. Many important matters
have been discussed at the SEES
sions of the club and some i'm
portant projects initiated.
Much good was accom-
plished in the cleanup and
psint-up campaign waged by
committees from the Chamber
and the Retail Merchants AS
ISOLATION. A large number of
buildings in the business see
ton were improved in appear
auce, and it is expected that the
effort will be resumed this
spring. Another committee to
perform a similar function as
to grounds, alleys and sidewalk
spaces in residence districts
was named late, and its partial

As in other years, one of the

ties in 1919 was the Industrial

Publicity work has been
done to a degree at least point
ing to the day when the organi-
cation may engage in this ac
tivity on a basis proportionate
to the opportunity. Many ar
ticles and pictures have been
sent out. Nearly every con-
vention which comes here
means publicity cooperation
by the Chamber. A current in
stance is the State Medical AS
ISOLATION this week. We fur
nished text and illustrations for
the State Journal. We now
have plates for an attractive
and unusual five-color folder,
the inside of which can be. va
ried from time to time to suit
special purposes or to intro
duce more up-to-date text. Our
folder, why Chattanooga
Manufacturers Are Always
Prosperous" has been given
wide circulation through many
channels, and has attracted
much favorable attention.
Some later folders were in
spired by the census situation
and are designed to correct
false impressions. Hundreds of
inquiries have been given at

SMOKE ABATEMENT.

After having attacked the
problem several times in past
years, the Chamber of Com
merce now expects that as a re-
suit of efforts recently inspired
by Mayor Chambliss something
real may be accomplished along
the lines Of smoke prevention.
An apparently successful de-
vice has been installed by sew
eral plants in this city, and the
committee, which has its real
work ahead of it, plans, after a
reasonable time has elapsed, to
demonstrate the permanent
benefits, to engage in a cam
paign of information that will
lead other producers of black
smoke to take suitable pre-
vcntive steps. The accompany
ing illustration Is significant,
showing how the Hotel Patten
stack emitted smoke in years
past, and the absence of smoke
after the consumer was in
stalled, although the boiler was
being heavily fired at the time.
A committee from the Cham
Der has been and is working on
the too long deferred project
of hotel for Lookout Noun
tain. Valuable assistance Is be
ing rendered by similar COM
mittee of mountain citizens.
The primary effort is to inter
est some hotel concern or OPP
orator to build, equip and con
duct a hotel. A prospectus
showing suitable building on
the chosen site will soon be
ready for a follow-up cam
paign among an extended list.

body. The Chambers commit
tee did n strenuous and efficient
task through period of weeks,
but annexation went down to
defeat by a handful of votes,
However, the work has served

result is that sentiment in some
quarters is changing, and il is

AERIAL WAY STATION.

Chattanooga is now recog-
nized as one of the best aerial
transportation centers in the
south and Is getting much ia
vorable publicity and patron
age thereby as a result of the
establishment of Mari Field,
strictly a Chamber of Com
merce project. The land Sc
cured is held under lease by the
Chamber, and rents, etc, paid
by the organization. This
project received official recog-
milton as the first instance in
the south where a city had pro-
vided a landing field without
impetus of the war or any spc-
Cial Inducements DN the gov
ernment. Chattanoogans are
now much more familiar with
the most modern form of trans
portation, and, with improve
ments installed at Mari Field,
such as hangar and supply sta
ton, the field will he incrcas-
ingly used by aviatorS on ex-
tended trips. The committee
hopes that before long this city
will he included in ono or more
aerial mail routes, such as the

THE ANNUAL FAIR.

The Chamber has given some
support to the efforts of the
Fair Association in bringing
about closer relations between
Chattanooga and her back
country. Small but tangible
instances of this were the en-
tertainmcnt of the Corn Club
boys at the fair grounds last
fall and the demonstration and
home economics agents early
this year.
The Chattanooga news. [volume] (Chattanooga, Tenn.) 1891-1939, 1920-04-10

of the census bureau has crys-
tallized sentiment and more
than justified, II justification
was needed, the ambition and
effort of the Chamber of Com
merce in trying to bring about
annexation in ample time for
the census. Needless to say, no
effort will be spared to remedy,
insofar as possible, the situa-
ton at the earliest date.
Close on the heels of the an
nexation campaign there be-
came apparent vigorous de-
mand for public band concerts,
which the city could not f.
nance, as no provision had been
made in the budget. The
Chamber of Commerce deter
mined to raise the money Il
possible, and the task was
turned over to inefficient COM
mittce, which organized the
Spring Festival Association and
staged an entertainment at
Warner Park for the sole pur-
pose of financing concerts. The
weather proved a handicap
financially, but, in spite of it,
enough money was raised to
put on a number of concerts.
AT the conclusion of these the
city commission agreed to re
fund the Chamber later il the
organization would advance
money for completion of the
season, and this was done. This
project established the demand
for and popularity of open-air
band concerts to such an extent
that there is every assurance
they will in future be provided
by the city.

If the Chamber can so pre-

cure a favorable vote on the
project, It will be of incalcula-

people are discouraged to a
point verging on disgust that

Something must be done.
Our growth as to population

ANNEXATION QUESTION,
The Chattanooga news. [volume] (Chattanooga, Tenn.) 1891-1939, 1920-04-10
FLOOD SURVEY REPORT.

What Chattanooga has gone
through, for the third time in
four years, dictates the neces-
sity of system of protection
that will forever prevent food
waters in Chattanooga.
Under auspices of the Flood
Prevention committee, Mr.. o.
b. Andrews, chairman, ar
rangements were made last fall
for an adequate and final sur
vey by competent engineers at
q cost of $4,000. The Cham
Der and the city commission
each assumed half of the ex-
pense. The engineers, Mr..
Wingfeld, who solved the prob
lem satisfactorily for Augusta,
Ga, and Maj. Dabney, of
Memphis, with their own forces
and using local engineers when
necessary, have been engaged
in the task for several months.
Their final report will be ready
soon, with the added advantage
of the engineers opportunity
to check their calculations
against actual food conditions
that prevailed in the last few
days. Out of what was at least
annoyance and expense of the
recent food arises the ono CON
ISOLATION that undoubtedly the
public is, aroused as never be
fore to the necessity of food
protection because for the third
time in four years the COM
munity has had a food with all
that such a calamity means. in
Guiding uncertainty for a pc
riod of days as to just what the
maximum stage would be, and
the worst kind of publicity on

SCENE A FEW WEEKS
HENCE

The present food has made
doubly acute the food proven
ton question, and the Chatta-
nooga Chamber of Commerce
makes food prevention the
paramount work for 1920,
while in its annual report IL re-
views with interest its many ac-
complishments in 1919. In
cluded in these is a food sur

ress on the smoke abatement
question; the bringing Of many
new satisfactory industries to
Chattanooga; band concert

compliments.
