Charles Macmillan; treasurer, Sid
ney Riddlestorffer. Nine trustees
were also to have been elected, but
this matter, owing to some of the
chamber wanting a clearer idea of it,
was postponed until the next meeting.
A number of letters were received
from out of town concerns that are
thinking of changing their locations,
but as most of them wanted a bonous,
the chamber was disposed to ignore
them. The matter of street improve
ments and other things in regard to
the city's welfare were taken up and
talked over.
The chamber discussed the condi-
ton of the sidewalk at Smith and
State streets in front of the Kent
property and they may decide to ask
the city to do something in regard TO
this.
j. P. Holm called attention of the
chamber to the condition of the
school grounds at public school No.

was a shame the way they were al
lowed to remain and suggested that
If someone else would cooperate
with him he would furnish all of the
tools, free of charge, and get the men
to put the place in first class order.
Mr.. Holm declared that this matter
must be attended to at once and he
may do 1t himself If the chamber
does not act on his suggestion.
The meeting was well attended
and considerable time was taken up
in informal talks in regard to needed
improvements throughout the city.

report. He said in part:
Another year in the history of

seventeenth time since we entered the
arena of American fraternities you
have listened to a report from your

the same time substantial, and
institution Is planted as firmly in this

fraternity, we become a potent factor
to society and our influences are eff
fective in every branch of education.

"The dreadful calamity that befell
our state of California on April IS,
10, 20 and 81 of this year, when the
golden gate was almost torn from its
~fastenings, when wreck, ruin and dis
aster shocked the entire world and
San Francisco was almost destroyed,
the humanity of the people was beau
tifully demonstrated and the frater-
nifty of the societies properly exempli-
fed in the showers of assistance that
rained upon that community. New
Jersey, realizing the enormity of the
catastrophe and Knowing what Cali
fornia would do were the conditions
reversed, almost as soon as the earth
quake had stopped and the earth had
ceased to tremble, had a circular in
