10 these matters your attention is IN
Yted.
The Hotel Committee-The chairman of
this committee is an indefatigable worker
in his own business. and naturally car
ries the same zeal into his T.
| p. A. duties. Upon the eff

for better accommodations. I commend
the interesting report of Chairman Burge
to your consideration. To conduct the work
of this office properly, there should be
printed blanks for reports from members
as to hotels visited their condition, service,
! rates, etc. 3and the hotel committee should
! have sufficient means at it's disposal to
follow UP these reports, if necessary.
! would recommend, therefore, that S. per

| The Legislative Committee-Chairman
| Roe Edwards, of this committee, is one of

| THE Press Committee-There is no more
useful or more valuable department of our
4 work than that in charge of the press
committee. 1t can do more to strengthen

| appreciated by Chairman Solomon, who Is

! His experience makes him doubly useful
to our division for he knows how to get
the ear of the big editors and thus OBJ
