Main street at the plaza, inform ing out-of-state tourists where to register their cars. This resulted I in a great increase in our regis tration. making Ashland the lead- j ing city in non-resident registra tion in the state by 6000 for 1937. I This increase was directly respon- ' sible for additional revenue from : the state. Immediately after mov ing to the new headquarters we made arrangements with the po- | lice department to register cars during the night, thus giving the traveling public a 24-hour service. ! The officers in this department have fully cooperated with the department. During the above stated period we have had the cooperation of not only city officials, business men and citizens of Ashland, but residents of the surrounding com- muni ties as well. In the following summary of activities of the chamber and i progress in Ashland, please un- | derstand that we are not trying to take credit for all these im- I provements but we are trying to ■ set forth the actual improvements and progress that have taken place in Ashland during 1937 Activities Outlined Activities carried on in the Chamber of Commerce fofice (24- hour service): 1.
