The members meeting of the Du-
range board of trade held at the city
hall last evening was well attended.
The meeting was the annual one and
was for the purpose of nominating di
rectors for the ensuing year. 1t was
decided to appoint a committee of
three to select q names to be posted,
from which to eject board of nine
directors. President Camp appointed
as such committee Chas. E. Herr,
Frank Eldredge and Mr.. McCurdy.
The above committee will go over
the list of members and select 27
names and these will be posted at the
board Of trade rooms and the cleo
tion will take place Monday, Jan. %.
II is hoped every member will exhibit
sufficient interest to vote on this oc.
casion. Surely out of 81 names a
board can be selected that will be
satisfactory and it is up to the mem
bership to do 1t.
The directors serving the past year
have accomplished much work. 1t
has been strenuous year. requiring
midnight meetings every week and
sometimes twice to handle the bust
ness requiring attention. and there
has been no shirking. The present
directors feel that others should be
willing to assist in the work, although
;. no doubt the membership will Insist
on retaining some If not all for an
other year.
The board Of trade is in good condi-
tion. there being l63 active members,
| sixty obtained since ne first of April.
