  Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute 
today to the City of Redlands, California, as their community 
celebrates the 125th Anniversary of Incorporation. The City of Redlands 
was established in 1888 by vote of the people of the Lugonia and 
Redlands Townships. Following incorporation, the City of Redlands 
rapidly gained distinction for superior citrus production, and was 
considered around the globe to be the ``The Washington Naval Growing 
Capitol of the World.'' Through thoughtful leadership and the 
dedication of residents, The City of Redlands has grown from a small 
agricultural community to an economic, academic and cultural epicenter.
  Redlands, ``A City That Works,'' is home to more than 200,000 
residents who enjoy a wide variety of cultural events throughout the 
year including the Summer Music Festival at the Redlands Bowl, the 
Redlands Theater Festival and the Redlands Symphony. Popular community 
events include the Redlands Bicycle Classic and the Run through 
Redlands.
  Residents of the City of Redlands are proud of their City's distinct 
attributes and have worked with the City of Redlands Historic and 
Scenic Preservation Ordinance and Commission, the Redlands Area 
Historical Society and the Redlands Conservancy to ensure the 
preservation of the historic built environment and conserve the natural 
open space. Many architectural treasures including the Lincoln Memorial 
Shrine, the Redlands Bowl Prosellis, Kimberly Crest House and Gardens, 
A.K. Smiley Public Library and Morey Mansion have been preserved for 
future generations due to the dedication and generosity of residents of 
the City of Redlands.
  The commitment of the residents of the City of Redlands for bettering 
their community extends to their support of the University of Redlands, 
a private liberal arts university, consistently ranked among the best 
universities in the nation.
  Mr. Speaker, on this very special year for the City of Redlands, 
please join me in commemorating their One Hundred and Twenty Fifth 
anniversary.
