COMMERCIAL CLUB
FOR LAS VEGAS
Will Absorb the Montezuma Social
Club and Various Other
Organizations.

The people of Las Vegas are NOV.
ing in the matter of organizing a com
mercial club. The city has Board OF
Trade, Citizens Association. Busi
ness Mems Protective Association and
Social Club, the Montezuma. 1t has
long been felt that one strong organi.
zation uniting the interests of the sew,
eral at present in existence would be
of vastly greater Importance to the
city. The matter has been under dis
cussion for some time. 1t may now be
said that a commercial club is certain
to be organized.
The Montezuma Club has voted
unanimously in favor OF merging
with the larger organization. Recent
ly the club, which owns commodious
and elegantly furnished quarters in
the Duncan Opera House Block, voted
to lease the quarters at small rental
to the new organization. The execu-
tive committees of the Board OF Trade
and Citizens Association represent,
ing the leading business men of both
sides OF the river, nave now VOted
unanimously to unite their organiza,
tions with the commercial club. To-
morrow night general meeting will
be held and it is quite we'll assured
that the commercial club will be
launched.
One project that will be taken up
at the outset by the club will be the
matter of a public building to be
centrally located. Thus it is hoped to
settle the long disturbing postoffice
difficulty. Delegate Rodey having in
troduced a bill to establish govern
ment building here, the citizens hope
their work will be easy. The public
building is badly needed, and it may
be said, nothing would be of more
Importance to this city than the Sc
curing of such action as it would quiet
the feeling on the postoffice matter.
