grounds and a municipal Stadium. 9. Fire prevention. 10. Improved busi- ness service. Haphazard construction of city improvements, location of factories, extension of streets and other subjects relating to permanent development of the city, should be regarded with great concern both from a residential and mercantile standpoint. The co-operation which the Chamber of Commerce can offer the muni- cipal administration is readily observed when one considers the personnel of the organization ' s membership. So many matters come before the city boards for action that it is humanly impossible for them to make scientific study of each and every matter. And here is where the Chamber of Com- merce fits in as a laboratory for the city fathers, because it has at its call the services of trained and experienced men in every phase of life who can give considerable of their thought and time to one definite problem. Today is a time of specialization and specialization means perfection and progress. The Chamber of Commerce stands ready at all times to take up any worthy project for Port Huron and furnishes a medium through which such work can effectively be done. The Chamber of Commerce also furnishes to all public spirited citi- zens a medium through which they can serve their city. This in itself is con- sidered to be well worth while by men who care for their home town and really want to do something for it. Some one, somewhere, truly said, “You ' ve got to be a good citizen in order to vote, but you have got to do a great deal more than vote in order to be a good citizen. CHAS. W. HAENSEL.

Port Huron- - Tomorrow ‘‘Nature gives cities opportunities, but the energy and intelligence of men make them great.” No city in America today is offered greater oppor- tunities than is Port Huron for legitimate industrial advancement. Port Huron is a thing alive, throbbing with human energy: growing, changing every day toward something different. What will this some- thing be? Do you want your city to realize its best possibilities? Cities do not grow, they are built. This is true literally as well as practically, because city building today is as much scientific business as any professional or commercial enterprise. To a greater or less degree success depends upon knowledge, organiza- tion, co-operation, and the keen, active interest of every one who calls that city his or her home. As citizens we are like a big family, or, to express it in business terms, we are stockholders in a corporation. We have invested our money, our labor, and our ingenuity in our city, and because of these investments we have assummed responsibilities: a duty has been placed upon our shoulders that we cannot shirk or neglect. With every municipality, service is the aim. That, indeed, is the aim of all legitimate business. And the founders, whether of a business or a city, would feel very keenly disappointed if all of the “stockholders” were con- tent merely to increase their money getting abilities. Quite true, financial returns are what we all seek and desire, but, busi- ness, money, profits are not the end in business. . They are the means by which men live and man is on earth to live, not merely make a living. Consider if the “stockholder” in a municipality, or a business, would devote all of the days and years of his life to business, became as engrossed in it or so eager for larger gains that no time was allowed for the joys and duties of life and no will for the responsibilities of citizenship. Such a man may die worth many million dollars and be rated a business success. But As a man he would be a failure. Port Huron’s greatest immediate needs can be summed up under the following headings. 1. A business method of municipal administration. 2. A definite City Plan. 3. A more adequate water supply. 4. Improved health service. 5. Increased hospital facilities. 6. Modern methods of sew- erage and waste disposal. 7. Vocational Education. 8. Supervised play-
