The Commercial Club Getting
in Good Shape for Work.
The Annual Dues Reduced From Six
Dollars to Three Dollars-A
List of the Committees.

at $500 per annum. There was a
strong sentiment in favor of $500
per annum, and since that meeting
this sentiment has grown until it
was believed best by the president
and directors to make this amount
the annual assessment, and 1t was
done last night. Each member con-
sequently will be required to pay
$4.60 this year instead of 500. This
is one dollar initiation fee and three
dollars dues. The initiation fee and
first months dues, making $1.25 in
all, is now due and should be paid to
the secretary. 1t would be better il
every member would pay up his an
nual dues in advance, as the club
needs money now to put it in good
working order.
