Unanimous acceptance of the .following program of work by the forum at-its meeting Wednesday night was one of the big features of the meeting: v 1. Community Spirit Heighten the sense of community spirit and civic pride among our citizens. Teach the people to stand solidly for Richmond and Wayne county and their future growth' and development. 2. Better City Government That the Chamber of Commerce, as an organization, favors the movement for commission-manager form of government for Richmond; that it will work unceasingly, in any way it can, consistently, either alone or in co-operation with other organizations or groups, in a campaign of education to assist the voters of this city to understand the benefits to accrue from such a form of government, and in the selection of such proper candidates for commissioners as will digni
fy and make for real efficiency and give the new form of government a fair trial, should the change be adopted. 3. Housing Encourage the building of more, model, moderate-priced dwellings. Formulate a plan that will secure the proper financial support, and push a campaign for more and better housing. 4. City Plan Endeavor to secure the appointment of a city plan commission, the members of which to serve without compensation and whose work will be to formulate a city plan, with the understanding that, after such plan is adopted, every civic improvement, such as public buildings, boulevards, parks, etc., will be built with the view to conform to the general plan and the future growth of the city. In this way, "hit-and-miss" methods will be avoided and the tax payers of the future saved the cost of mistakes of the present, as well as making the city more beautiful and its arrangement more convenient for all. In such a plan, due consideration should be given to the location of the proposed memorial building, with the view to making it the starter of a future civic center. In this connection, the building of a river driveway and a South Side bridge is favored and we promise to work to secure the same. 6. Taxation Endeavor to secure more equitable tax costs to the people of Richmond and Wayne County, securing the co-operation of other communities in the county in this, with the view to having a comprehensive investigation, if necessary, in the matter of tax costs, and of determining whether Richmond and Wayne county receive proper return in service and improvements for the money paid to the county and state for taxes. 6. County Development: Realizing that the interests of the county and our city are mutual, we pledge our best efforts, as an organization to endeavor to cultivae the most cordial relations between tho people of the county and. the city, and to co-operate in every way in our power to help develop the county, increase its production, raise the standard of live stock, improve its highways, etc., and extend
to the people of the county a most cordial invitation to affiliate with our Chamber and assist in the objects herein self forth. We desire to make the Richmond Chamber of Commerce a bureau of Information and convenience for the out-of-town people in every way possible. 7. Transportation: To ' facilitate and improve all methods of transportation in which our community is interested, including railroad and electric lines and motor passenger and freight service to and from Richmond and the county as a whole and adjacent larger cities. We will also work Tor the ultimate elimination of grade railroad crossings, and the securing of a union passenger station for Richmond. 8. Free Employment Bureau: We advocate the formation of a free employment bureau, either as a part of or in co-operation with our Chamber of Commerce, and agree to take up this matter with the view of securing the same. 9. Buy at Home: Foster this practice by an active campaign of education. Point out the losses and farreaching ill effects of violating the trade-at-home habit. Show the great business prosperity for all in patronizing home industries and home business institutions of all kinds. Prompt the members of this organization and their families to set. the example in this educational campaign to buy-at-
home. At the same time endeavor to show the home institutions the advantage of standardizing methods and prices so as to more effectually compete with the mail order houses. 10. Education: Advocate closer cooperation between the community and the teachers in our schools and colleges, with the idea of improving methods and facilities and of adequately recognizing efficiency and loyalty among our teachers. 11. Recreation: Favor greater public facilities for recreation and adequate control of all forms of public amusement by our city government,
and to co-operate in the securing of the .community service of recreation for our city. - - 12. Public Utilities: That public utilities should be managed or administered with the advice and assistance of a recognized committee of representative citizens to secure economy of management and efficiency of service, as well as adequate development for future needs. We favor the" creation of such a committee by city council and ask that we be permitted to advise in the selection of its members. 13. Community Chest: Appreciating the waste of effort 8nd lack of coovdination in repeated appeals for funds for support of local welfare work, we favor the creation of a community chest to cover all such appeals in one Well organized annual campaign for such. If this is done, each phase of welfare work should first be required to present a budget to a central committee, which committee should provide for securing and for the proper disbursement of the fund and see that each welfare agency keeps its expenses within it3 prescribed budget. 14. Extend Our Trade Territory: We advocate a concerted movement on the part of our mercantile interests to extend the trade territory of Richmond by every legitimate means and to make our city the trade center
for a wider expanse of country. In such 'a movement, the people of the smaller communities in Wayne and adjacent counties to be advised to buy from their home merchants whenever possible, but to give preference to Richmond as against the out-of-state mail-order houses, which contribute nothing to the support of our city, county or state institutions. Committee Appointed. A committee was appointed to arrange with Prof. A. R. Hatton, of the Central Municipal League of Cleveland, to come to Richmond and address a public meeting on May 16, on
the subject of commission manager form of city government. Prof. Hatton is a recognized authority on municipal government. He has made a study of city governments in all parts of the United Slates and his talk here is expected to reveal some of the objections as well as advantages to the new plan. The matter of organizing a national guard company for Richmond, as presented in a letter from George Brehm in support of the movement, was referred to the board of directors without definite recommenda:'on. Employment Bureau The matter of a free ' employment bureau received considerable discussion in which " Verne Pentecost and Miss Ethel Clark took part. These speakers brought out the great need for an employment bureau. The directors of the Chamber of Commerce are expected to consider this matter at once. Meanwhile, any one needing any sort of work is urged to telephone the Chamber of Commerce (Phone
2817) which will at once refer the application to the social service bureau' in order that capable people who are in need of help may be put in touch with those who have work to be done. After some discussion of the matter of child: en being barred from playing in the public parks, and the danger to them when playing in the streets, a special committee of three, consisting of Lucius Harrison, Robert Graham and Riley Hubbard was appointed to appear before the city council and ask it to rescind its action prohibiting children from playing in the city's parks. C. B. Root Speaks During the discussion of this matter C. B. Root of the community service organization spoke on the plans and operation of that body and its benefit to a community. It was announced that the women's division, of which Mrs A. W. Roach i3 chairman, will meet at four o'clock next Monday afternoon in the assem
bly room of the Chamber of Commerce. . It was decided that, hereafter, the forum meetings will be held on the fourth Wednesday of each - month, starting promptly at 7:30 p. m., and closing not later than 9:30 p. m. Two large American flags presented to Mrs. Walter Fulghum and C. D. Slirer, as captains of the winning teams in the recent membership campaign, were given by the two teams named to the Chamber of Commerce for such purpose as the Chamber may desire to make of them.
