We will try to give you, as nearly as pos sible. a complete report of all im portant activities of the chamber for that period. One of the first actions of the management was to outline a small program for 1937. We have, we feel, completed that program, besides enlarging it to fit the needs and taken on added activi ties which we considered benefic ial to the community At the start these plans included a retrench ment program in order that we might carry on the work of the chamber without working a hard ship on the citizens and business men of the community and we have carried out this idea in all our actions during the past year. Financially, the chamber was in no condition Oct. 1, 1936. to un dertake any large projects.

Citing an example. Talent said: “I wish particularly to call your attention to the traffic situation in Ashland, for I consider it out of the ordin ary when traffic fatalities an on the increase In most places. We have had only one death caused by traffic accidents during the last five years, and that was not caused by col lision with another vehicle. We have had only five cases of traffic accidents within the city during the above period wherein persons were taken to the hospital for treatment of their Injuries.'* GROUP MEETS TO PUSH LAKE ROAD Some of the unsung work of local police became evident in a list of statistics contained in the report.

City Supt. Elmer Biegel and City Attorney Frank Van Dyke plan to leave today, Jan. 21, for Portland where they will consult with E. J.

Griffith, in a recent letter to Van Dyke, announced that he has on hand concrete Ideas lor the project which was tentatively dis cussed with him by a group of Ashland civic leaders recently. The project as contemplated will call for the erection of a large health resort here and will promote Ashland's mineral wat- ers and other resources Van Dyke said G. S.
