State Chamber of Commerce.
Ziener Knows Chamber Work
The speaker was we'll vers-
ed on his subject of the USE
fulness of the Chamber of
Commerce. He stated that "the
Chamber is the Voice of the
Community" And for that
purpose a city of the popula-
ton of Zion should have a
large enough membership and
sufficient dues to afford a
progressive, full-time secre-
tary. Even though the Zion
membership dues are reason
able, the spirit as expressed in
response to Mr.. Billy Buckets
report on the community's
"Christmas Manager Scene" to
be unveiled November 18th on
Sheridan Road all properly
lighted and "a feet long by 16
feet high and 8 feet deep, was
only short of remarkable.
City Growth
Mr.. Ziener stated that "ci7
ties do not just grow, but are
built" It takes faith in the fu-
ture of the City which can be
summed up in five essential
parts: an active, working
membership organization;
definite long range plan; ade-
quate financial income COM
mittee system of control; and
also there must be compe-
tent head and staff to carry
things through.
The Chamber should have
the courage to investigate and
sufficient vigor to develop the
program.
The speaker congratulated
the city on it's growth. In 1910
it was listed at a population
of 4,789; in 1920, 5,579, a
growth Of 100; 1880, $500, an
increase of AL; 1910, 1854,
a further growth of 564; while
in 1916 the most accurate tab
ulation ever held-the ration
books-showed Zion with
population of 8,511, a growth
of 1867.
Mr.. Ziener also listed ad-
vantages that a successful COM
munity should have, namely
a good press coverage, ade-
quate housing, attractive re-
tail district, diversified indus
tries, convenient transporter
ton, a fair tax rate, adequate
school facilities, religious ia
cilities, suitable hotels, a con-
venient airport, we'll rounded
athletic program, and a safety
and health program. He was
glad to be able to note so many
