HyattsUille Chamber
Just S Years Old

as mayor of Hyattsville, the
chamber elected the vice presi-
dent, Lemuel L. Gray, to the
presidency for the unexpired
term. A fall banquet at which
Governor Ritchie was the princt-
pal speaker, closed the year with
interest still on the increase.
Membership Increase
The fourth year saw a mem
bership of 238 and the election
of Gray as president and Irwin
Owings as vice president. Many
matters of civic interest to the
community were taken up by the
chamber during the year, the
most noteworthy being the queS-
ton of the valuation Of the gas
plant supplying gas to the terri.
tory served by the chamber and
a request for reduction in the
charges made. Many programs
of interest were presented during
the year and the attendance at
the meetings was generally good.
The year closed with a member
ship of 254.
Opening the fifth year Of its
activities, Arthur P. owens, who
had done Sn1erA'I work in adVer-
Using the territory OF the cham
Der, in a suggested consolidation
of all the municipalities under
the name of Maryland City, was
elected president and G. Sherman
James. cashier of the Citizens
Bank of Riverdale, was elected
vice president. c. D. Anderson,
the first secretary of the cham
Der. and Arthur Carr, its first
treasurer, were reelected for the
fifth time.
The work Of the chamber which
had not up to this time shown
many tangible results, now be-
came very evident. The gas rate
case. on which the public utilities
committee of the chamber had
been working for more than a
wear, was settled and reduced gas
rates to the 5000 consumers IS now
a fact. Rhode Island Avenue IS
completed and opens a new and
shorter route into the Nations
Capital. The grade crossing OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
has been eliminated, and the de-
laws to the autoists at this point is
a thing of the past. These are
major achievements Of the cham
Der and are directly traceable to
the hard work of committees OF
the chamber for the benefit Of the
entire community. Within itself
the chamber has prospered.
The Washington times., 1929-12-07

On December 8, 1924, q few
public-spirited citizens OF Hyatts-
vile met at the State Armory in
Hyattsville and organized the
Chamber Of Commerce OF HyattS-
vile, Md.
w. A. Brooks, a former mayor
Of Hyattsville and a leading mer-
chant Of that city, was elected
the first president of the organi-
zation, DR.. H. T. Willis, vice presi-
dent: G. D. Anderson, secretary,
and Arthur Carr, treasurer.
Soon after the organization was
completed the chamber affiliated
to the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States, and has since
been a member of that body. The
growth of the chamber was slow
and the end of the first year
showed a membership Of So.
DR.. Willis Elected
The second year was ushered
IN by the election of DR.. H. T.
willis as president Of the cham
Der and Lemuel L. Gray was
elected vice president. The cham
Der began to work for the extern
sion of Rhode Island Avenue from
the District line direct to Hyatts-
willie and interest began to grow.
On June %, 1928, the chamber
appointed a roads committee to
further this project. Irving OW-
angS, then mayor Of HyattSville,
and now chairman of the Maly-
land Park and Planning CommlS-
sion, was chairman of that COM
nnittee with T. Howard DuckeCt,
chairman of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission,
and j. Enos Ray, then State tax
commissioner, as his associates.
How well that committee func-
toned is shown by this new State
road that is now opened to the
public. The year closed with a
membership Of los and interest
steadily increasing in the cham
Der and its work.
The third year Of the chamber
the officers were reelected. A
notable event in the life Of the
chamber was the presentation to
the town Of Hyattsville through
the chamber of a tract Of some
twelve acres in Hyattsville for
park and playground purposes by
william P. Magruder. This park
is now under development by
the town of Hyattsville under the
supervision Of the City Palmer

BUILDING ASSO.
BEGUN 1887

On johnson Avenue, Hyatts-
vile, is located the office build
ing of the Hyattsville Building
Association, the oldest financial
institution in Prince Georges
county and the largest building
association in the State Of Mary!
land.
In 1887 some Of the few in
habitants of this community,
realizing the need Of some local
institution to encourage thrift
and home building, gathered to-
gether and formed this associa-
ton. Their first meeting was
held in a room above an old store
building in the town and the
members contributed the first
assets in the amount of $500.
Social At First
For a number of years after
this the members met once a
month in this room where they
paid their dues and enjoyed a
social evening. When sufficient
funds were accumulated in this
manner to make loan to a mem
Der, applications were received
and the money auctioned off TO
the highest bidder who had good
and sufficient security,
In this manner Of making loans
the rate of dividend varied from
very large to small, owing to the
condition of the money market.
AS the association grew the
members realized that this was
not always a fair or substantial
way to do business and their
methods were changed to about
the same basis upon which they
have since so successfully oper-
ated.
$5,OOO,OOO Assets
From this modest beginning we
have today this association with
assets Of $1,000, 900, the operation
Of which has been successful from
the very beginning through the
expert management Of a board
of directors, its personnel having
been changed since its organiza-
ton only by death.
The association invests its funds
in first mortgages on Maryland
real estate and on it's own stock.
It has never missed a dividend
and has declared per cent semi
annual dividends for a number Of
years, which are accumulative and
yield to the investor about 8 per
cent per annum.

River or in nearby Virginia be-
cause it will be freer of fog and
other nenaces to landing aviators.
1t is also believed several thou
sands of dollars would be saved
each week by not having to fly
over Washington to reach a more
distant field.
