The meeting, besides being representa-
tive one, was thoroughly alive TO the impor-
tance Of the movement and the necessity to
combine action and the securing of lib
eral fund to carry out the plans Of the
bureau.
There was general discussion as to she
amount OF money required to successfully
undertake the work proposed by the pro-
jectors OF the bureau, and it was decided
that not less than $1,000 will be neces-
sary. To secure this, liberal subscriptions
will be required from both the real estate
and improvements companies and the other
interests OF the oity outside Of the land
companies. None of the representatives of
the companies present in the meeting were
authorized to make subscriptions or to In
dictate what the companies they
represented would subscribe. The
committees appointed for that
purpose will make O canvass of the various
companies and will urge immediate action,
so that the bureau can be got in working
order at the earliest possible time.
The plan Of advertising will be decided
upon later on, when the money has been
raised. It will include the various forms Of
advertising pursued by southern and west
ern cities and the means best calculated to
place the advantages of Savannah and the
surrounding country properly before the
world, so that investors will be attracted
and the citys interests will be benefited.
The importance Of the work proposed by
the bureau is fully recognized, and its pro-
jectors and those who were present at last
nights meeting and took part In the discus
sion pledged it q hearty and liberal sup
port.
AS soon as the committees to confer with
the land companies and other interests are
ready TO report meeting will be called and
further steps win be taken. The present
work is the raising of the fund to carry on
the work that the bureau proposes to do.
