Being a Review Commercial Club
,....wsnrr . Citx of 100000 for IeIO.

.rortmemry a City of 100000 for 1910.
 This was the united sentiment ex- nressed at a meeting of the Committee on ways and Means of the Comereial Club Friday night at the home of its Chairman. F P. Glass. on Bellinger Heights.
 This committee is one of the most important in the organization and its membership Is composed, of representa- tive business men of Montgomery. Its personnel is as follows: F. P. Glass. Chairman, J. c. Haas, Associate Chair
 man. H. c. Davidson. R. M Henderson,
 w. K Holloway. Jacques Loeb. K. E. Steiner. Lee H. Well. J. s. Wilcox. At 4he meeting President A. c. Forbes and Secretary L. L. Gilbert Were also in at tendance.
 This was the first meeting of the com
 mittee since its appointment. and ai- though called primarily for organiza-
 tion and a discussion of general fea-
 lures of the work. yet the enthusiasm and earnestness Of it's members chrys-
 talized later into definite plans Tor Noritgomery's advancement in the im
 mediate future. The committee took
 cognizance of the rauid strides being
 made by Montkomerv on the road of
 progress The committee believed that
 with a insignificant hotel just complet~
 
 ing operations evident on every hand
 with new enterprises organizing from
 day to day and with universal in'
 crease of real estate values the entire
 city ovAr.---the time has come in Mont gomery's history for decided step forward.
 The committee unanimously decided that the expending of reasonable sum at this time in advertisinE and &s stfnld T1rnfffnhl0
 result. An aggressively Conducted mu-
 nicipal advertising campaign will de- clare better dividends just now than any other investment thP. property owners and citizens of Montgomery can make. In the opinion of the committee, Mont gomery needs white settlers upon the surrounding farm lands throughout the county and more factories dispursine weekly pay rolls among it's employees in the city and so 1t was. that the enthu- siasm of the evening crystalized with the determination to bring Montgofn- ery's population up to the 100000 marx by 1910.
 Preliminary to the business of the evening, Mir. Glass most delightfully."- entertained the members of, llis cont- mittee and guests at five course din- ner. The social feature rendered the committee's work most pleasant and the spirit of good fellowship engender- ed auxurs well for the future work of this. the foundation committe of the entire club.
 The Automobile Club. The courtesy extended to the Com@
 mercial Club last Friday upon the oc. casion of the visit to Montgomery of the Rivers and Harbors Committee of Congress by the Montgomery Automo-
 bile Club was one sincerely appreciated. It was a striking method of impres. sing the visitors with the fact /that Montgomery is an up-to-date, alert and contemplating city. In addition 1t provid- l ed in each vehicle a most representa- | tive citizen of Montgomery as host to point out and describe the various points of interest in the city as they were passed on their way to the Capis | tol.
