 The central location of Sj'ra-

 facilities, together with its 
 dozen or more excellent hotels 
 and one hundred of less mag- 
 nitude, have made it a city of 
 con\"entions. F our opera

A beautiful avenue, alonsj; the shore of Onondaga Lake, one and a 
 half miles in length in a straight line, 132 feet in width, with a park 
 of fortv feet in the center for street cars, a driveway on either side of 
 thirty feet, with l)road walks and lawns beyond, with six rows of trees, 
 at Lakeside, is promised in the near future. Such aAXMiues are rarely 
 seen in the suburbs of any city. 
 
 As a manufacturing center Syracuse is cijualled by few cities and 
 excelled bv none. i\mong the list are iron and steel specialties, furni- 
 ture, carriages and carts, plows, guns, cutlery, typewriters, bicycles, coach 
 and saddlery hardware, undertakers' sup- 
 plies, canned goods, boots and shoes, { 
 clothing, gloves, cigars aHd tobacco, bi- j 
 tubing, electrical supplies, steam engines and 
 
 •s, agricultural implements, stoves, furnaces and steam heaters,

 UTother feature of the popularity of Syracuse is the water siipplw which is owned and controlled 
 le municii)alilv. The svslem is the best in the L'nited States from the fact that Syracuse is the 
 St citv supplied by a purely ^-ravity system, not a i)ump bein,<;- used. The source of supply is 
 eateles Lake, with its admirable water-shed risin.Li- from 500 to 1.200 feet above the water level,

ANNUAL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT JOHN MARSELLUS. 
 
 the close of the fiscal year of the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce, on April 4th, Mr. John 
 
 lus, then i)resident, gave a most admirable address, full of information for his tellow-citizens 
 
 interested in the " Central City " of the State of New York. President Marsellus said in part : 
 
 itlemen of the Chamber of Commerce — In harmony with established custom it now becomes my duty as your president 
 the work that has been accomplished during the year. This period can be characterized as existing between the last

 By well directed efforts on the part of this Chamber, and 
 with the earnest cooperation of our officers and board of managers, 
 the year now closing is marked with progress, even in spite of 
 many conditions that meant difficulty and discouragement. Earn- 
 est and faithful work has been performed by the active mem- 
 bership. 
 
 Syracuse is maintaining a large measure of growth. From 
 a comparison of figures Syracuse has passed Albany in the race, 
 and now stands fourth among the cities of New York State. 
 
 Our system of public parks is assuming splendid propor- 
 tions. The addition made a year ago by the acquisition of 
 I^incoln Park, which was peculiarly a project 
 of this Chamber, has been followed by the ' 
 
 creation of Onondaga Park, representing an 
 area of seventy-one acres, nearly all of which i 
 is high ground, affording unrivaled views of :4 
 
 the city and its surroimdings. i -'^ 
 
 The following is a partial list of the 
 new industries which have been incorporated ' 
 
 during the last year and old established 
 
 houses which have enlarged their 
 
 and increased their capacity: New companies organized — Home Building and Lot Asso- 
 §500,000; Bankers' Commercial League of America, $100,000; Central Realty and Mort- 
 ompany, $50,000; National Web Tile Sewer Company, $95,000; the Hollenbeck Saddle 
 ly. $35,000; Rochester Clothing Company, $30,000; Syracuse Candle Company, $10,000; 
 i Avenue Land Company, $25,000; Mack-Miller Candle Company, $50,000; Syracuse Rail- 
 onstruction Company, $25,000; Tully Bottling Company, $20,000; Eckel Bros'. Steel

 with the situation one year ayo, tlie ecjuivalent of one thousand more men at

 To the above creditable list, 
 showing a material enlargement of 
 the capital actively ( mplnycd and 
 stimulating the interests of the 
 working classes, can be addetl the 
 gratifying statement, made up

 work. Some factories are being run 
 ni,<,'ht and day and others many hours 
 overtime. 
 
 There is, therefore, no "Dead 
 March " for vSyracuse, but, quite to 
 the contrary, these facts and figures 
 can well help to stimulate the loyalty 
 of Syracusans for Syracuse, and their 
 faith in its sure and glorious future. 
 
 This city has an unrivaled geo- 
 graphical position, is well located for 
 the best of shipping facilities, both 
 rail and water, and possesses many 
 otlier elements of attractiveness. Its 
 water supply, in both purity and 
 abundance, can well be the envy of 
 every other city in Anaerica. With 
 adequate and commodious public 
 school buildings under the best of 
 management, the ])romise of a new 
 High school edifice, together with the 
 attractions of Syracuse University, 
 our educational advantages can not 
 be excelled. 
 
 Prominence is being given to 
 the heallhfidness of our city by the 
 rep(jrts of the State Hoard of Health. 
 ;e hel])s and inducements should be added the following; Special rates from the Water Board for steam users, a public 
 ifhich has been tried and found to be very effective in other places; a considerate and even indulgent policy, rather than one

of opjjression regarding taxes; a removal of that 
 legalized imposition wliich involves the taxing of 
 active business capital, the taxing of merchandise 
 and the taxing of mortgages. 
 
 The aid of our newspaper friends in keeping 
 prominently and constantly before the public the 
 purposes of this Chamber; the needs of our city as 
 well as the indications of its growth; the awakening 
 of civic spirit and the betterment of municipal con- 
 ditions; all this has been invaluable. We refer to 
 these efforts with the feeling of warmest commend- 
 ation as well as appreciation of their helpful attitude. 
 Both in their news columns and on their editorial 
 pages they have loyally pushed every movement for 
 the improvement of our city. 
 
 We who live here have a just pride in those 
 unsurpassed advantages which Syracuse so freely 
 offers to the manufacturer, the capitalist, the home- 
 seeker, the merchant, the mechanic and the laborer. 
 We rejoice together in its powerful touch with all 
 Central New York; in its concentration and diffusion 
 of news and of business; in its prominent financial 
 and commercial institutions; its substantial public 
 buildings; its palatial trade emporiums; its excep- 
 
 ;ducational advantages; its myriad attractive homes; its broad charities and prosperous churches denoting so clearly our 
 
 n God and our love for God's humanity. 
 
 he Chamber of Commerce in its relation to the well being of the whole community and in its capacity for usefulness, stands 
 and alone. It represents as no other association does the highest intelligence, enterprise and energy in this community. 
 
 ossibly a rare exception its members are open minded, free from prejudice, divorced from everything that is petty and small.

They are opposed to narrow provincialism and backward steps. If its 
 politics seem selfish, it is the selfishness which promotes the best interests of this 
 city and gives the largest employment to its capital and labor. It is moved by 
 that progressive spirit which animates and leads men to excite and quicken in one 
 another the element of civic pride so essential in the development of every 
 worthy interest. In a growing city such as ours practical benefits of various 
 kinds will result from the suggestion and advocacy of improvements by this 
 Chamber, and these will have a marked influence in the creation of a healthy 
 public spirit which insists upon advancement and betterment. 
 
 Our progress toward an organization more cosmopolitan in character has 
 been a source of surpri.se as well as satisfaction to many. The Chamber can 
 be made more and more a great educational force in this city, in the molding 
 of public opinion, its history having already revealed what might often be attained 
 in many directions, if the business and professional gentlemen would but realize 
 their strength and comliine to display it. 
 
 The value of a public library to any community has been tested by the 
 lapse of years and even centuries. Our own free City Library, containing 39,000 
 volumes, of which number 4,000 were added during the past year, is providing 
 for the intellectual improvement of the people with liberal hands. The cir- 
 culation last year, viz., over 140,000 volumes, indicates an increasing appreciation 
 of this great blessing to the average reading public. 
 
 No report of an organization such as the Chamber of Commerce could 
 be acceptable to its intelligent membership without some reference at least to 
 that grand and growing institution — Syracuse University. The record of the 
 past year has been highly successful. The University has broadened its scope, 
 increased its facilities, enlarged its attractions and become more firmly estab- 
 n the confidence of the friends of education and the esteem of the public. It has become one of the most prominent instilu- 
 ■ learning in the country and is co-educational. It is splendidly equipped, and this year's attendance has been about 1,200 
 ;s, from all parts of the United States and foreign countries.
