Annual Meeting and Election
 hsId Last Night
Interesting Reports of the Secretary and Treasuer Giving a Resume of the Boards Work During the Last Year.

! The annual tstG2IliIS Ol tue IlOtlll& i board of trace, held last night, was short. snappy business session. indica- tive Of the vigorous methods of that oIganizat ton and the good worN it has ! been doing in the past year. There were forty members present, an unus- ual attendance, when all is harmonious, as it is now. with no division of senti- ment to call out the otherwise careless or inactive members.
 The meeting was called to order by First Vice President Vernon L. Clark, l President Ford being out of the city. i The first matter of importance was the reading of Secretary Hamilton report, covering synopsis of the work fc- complished n the last year. Though | condensed, it was q quite lengthy dOcu rent. as the pgst year has been an | active one for the board and much has ! been accomplished for the welfare cf the county and territory. The report as read is presented below and is worthy of careful perUsai by every bus ! mess man of the city. The secretary also read supplementary reports giving ! details unnecessary to mention in the i general report and of no special inter- est to the general reader.
 The report of the treasurer, MT. H. H. ! Price was also presented and read showing the cash transactions of the year and the cash balance. During the year the board has collected. including the balance turned over by the former treasurer. $2.041.11, most of which has been expended for the welfare of the 1 rd ba .,J vertising Of the country, together with the advertising fund furnished by the beard Of supervisors which aided very materially in providing for the vast amount Of advertising done by the board.
 The reports of the two officers were in the usual form referred to an audit ! ing committee for later examination and the board proceeded to the election of a board of directors for the ensuing year. The board of directors consists of twelve members. Under the bylaws Messrs. LathIl0, T:ott. Price and De Mund serve for another year. making | eight to elect. two or whom are to rep . resent the south side and one to rep resent Glendale and three of whom are to serve for the ensuing two years. w. J. Kingsbury was elected to represent Tempe. Dr. A. J. Chandler to repre- sent Mesa City, and E. A Fowler was reelected to represent Glendale. Messrs. Foster and Dfehl acted as tell CTS and the election for the other five directors resulted in the selection of w. D. FUlwiler, E. r. Porter, l.. H. Chalmers, J. C. Adams and Dr. Mar tin Messrs. FuWiler, Porter and Chalmers. receil inG the greatest num- ! her of 1pcI11n1 term members.
 After the election w. E. Cleary moved a vote of thanks to inc officers and members of the old board. Mir. Heylnan performed the same service in recogni- ton Of the secretary's service and MT. Cleary moved special vote of thanks to First Vice President Vernon L. Clark. All the motions were carried unanimously.
 The new board will meet next Tues day night for orga Hization and election Of officers for the ensuing year. Fol lowing is the report of the secretary:
 REPORT or THE SECRETARY.
 To the Officers and Members cf the
 Board of Trade:
 Gentlemen: IL gives me pleasure to submit fer your consideration q sum
 
 during the past year.
 To chronicle in the briafest manner the most important events of the year requires a considerable quantity of time and space and necessitates an elimination of the mention of many smaller matters of greater or less inn portance-daily occurrences in the routine work of q commercial or ad- Vertising body.
 In my opinion the most important work of the year has been the adver- tising campaign which was mapped out early in the year. So thorough and of . such scope has been the campaign that cannot refrain from the assertion that the present directorate of the board should D. credited with giving. , in the past twelve months to eastern and northern people d better idea of the great resources cf Arizona and it's incomparahlc climate than has been
 done in the entire previous history of
 the board
 In it's years work the board has un- } consciously oLtErown the county ami has assumed a territorial scope, not ; only in it's advertisement Of the vast : mineral wealth of the territory and it's climate, but in the fight for statehood and various other matters.
 ? Fer the remarkable amount of advcr- Using that has been accomplished the r board is greatly indebted to the county
 board of supervisors and 10 the con- l missioner Gf immigration. MT. Vernon l L. Calrk, fer the monetary aid of the ' one and the great energy Of the other To this advertising it is timely am, gratifying tc state. is tu be credited the :. fact that al much better condition or | feeling between the people on tn" north
 and the south sides of the river has = been brought about. The impartial | manner in which all sections have been 7 treated in the advertising. putting 0 aside the feeling which has formerly e existed in certain sections of the val :, ley, that the board of trade was merely
 a Phoenix institution and not laboring
