Coolidge. The Berkeley chamber Of
commerce is determined to secure the
services of Mr.. Coolidge and has made
him the liberal offer of a salary of $4,000
year and will give him enough leeway
as to his time to assure him of some
thing extra in the way of present in
come. The Berkeley people are so
much in earnest that they sent two
very eloquent representatives down
to Santa Barbara last week ex-
pressly to interview Mr.. Cool
idge and to explain to him the attrac-
tive condition Of things in the northern
university city.
1t is not known yet what Mr.. Coolidge
intends to do. 1t is known, though,
that the genial secretary is thoroughly
in love with the Crown city and it is
thought likely that he will decline the
offer and decide to remain here.
