The most advisable and quickest plan
for collecting the balance of the amount
was discussed, and 1t was finally de-
cided 10 divide the various business
houses among the committee, and re-
quest the committees to call on the
business men for subscriptions, and re-
port back at the meeting next We'd
nesday. In this way the committee is
confident that the necessary amount
can be raised. 1t all depends, however,
upon the success of the committee
whether Savannah will be counted
among the cities of the state as a
member of the Greater Georgia Asso-
citation.

The committee has heartily approved
the movement to join the association
The chairman called the attention of
the committee to the fact that he has
recently received inquiries from a num-
Der of~People in the North and West
addressed to him as chairman of the
"Greater Georgia Committee" showing
that the matter is attracting attention.
He also announced that the secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce recently
communicated with a Georgia repre-
sentative who was to attend the ma
tional convention of American Horti-
culturists June 8 in Detroit, asking his
cooperation in bringing the convention
TO Savannah next year, and received
a reply that the matter was left with
the Greater Georgia Association, and
It would make an effort to bring the
convention, showing that all of the
cities of the state are working in ac-
cord with the Greater Georgia Associa-
tion. Unless we get in this move
ment," said the chairman. every city
in Georgia will be working against
us."
Letter to Business Men.
1t was decided to address a letter to
business men and those interested in
Savannah, giving a synopsis of the
proposed work of the association, and
calling attention to the Importance of
Savannah joining the movement.
1t is expected that by the time the
committees which have been appointed
to solicit subscriptions, report next
"Wednesday the money required, and
a good sum over, will have been sub
scribed. and that Savannah will be in
the Greater Georgia Association with
the other cities of the state. The let
ter which the committee sends out is
as follows:
TO the business men and those inter
ested in Savannah:
AS the entire business community of
the city will be benefited by any adj
Vertising that is done for Savannah,
and will share in the advantages TO be
derived by reason of Savannah being
a member of the Greater Georgia Asso-
citation, the question is now open to the
business men, and those interested in
the city: Shall Savannah join the
Greater Georgia Association and raise
the amount necessary to conduct her
share of the work, or shall we stay cut
of the movement? This question will
have to be answered and very prompt
~. Nearly all of the cities of the state
without exception. have Joined the
Greater Georgia movement and sub
scribed the amount necessary without
any delay whatever. Harper's Weekly
is now at work preparing their Greater
Georgia number, consisting of "a pages
on Georgia, which is TO be published in
July, and all of the cities which have
