Norfolk Again Next Year.
The proposition to name Norfolk a!
permanent meeting place was frs
brought before the convention by Sen
ator Randall. Some hesitancy was dis
played in placing the burden of an an
nual convention on the Norfolk bank
ers. On the other hand Norfolk's 10
cation as the natural center of the dis
trict was strongly urged against thu
old practice OF passing the meeting
around to the several cities in the dis
trict. After coming up for discussion
at intervals during the afternoon it wa
voted that next years convention
should meet at Norfolk, the question
of a permanent location for the annua
meetings to be left over to 1908.
Adjournment was taken a little al
ter 6 p. M, the banquet in the evening
closing the tenth annual session o
the Northeast Nebraska Bankers as
ISOLATION.
