McAllistcr and Haddock Say Associa-
ton Has Plenty of Money
On Deposit.

The action of the Salt Lake Real IS
tale association yesterday afternoon, in
giving out for publication its action in
TIL. matter OF maintenance If the cham
be. or commerce exhibit. is considered
By The officials of the Manufacturers s.
Merchants association, whose comr.er-
cial integrity is directly involved, as err
tfrely uncalled for and misleading. The
Real Estate association was informed
by its&secretary that the NJ. 81 NJ. as
ISOLATION had notified the Real Estate
association of its inability to continue
after Jan. next its third main-
%tenance of the exhibits in the chamber
of commerce., so that it was lnculn-
bent on the Real Estate association 10
take some action in the matter. The
association decided to assume the eX-
3pense necessary for continuing the ex-
#hibit OF the states natural resources
i'll the chamber of commerce for an
other year by which time the new
Commercial club building will be erect
e. and provision made there for IL suit
able permanent display of the ssources
Z OF the state.
Both President G. S. McAllister and
Secy. Lon Haddock of the NJ. & M. as
ISOLATION take decided exception to this
They say, in the first place no sucn
notification was ever given the Real
Estate association through its secrc-
tary or any one else. Furthermore the
NJ. & NJ. association Is perfectly solvent,
and we'll able to maintain its pro-rata
of expense in maintenance of the cham
Der and its contents, for the association
has money in the bank, with additional
funds in the matter of bills receivable"
from dues yet to be collected. Mr.. Nc
Allister and Mr.. Haddocli state that it
has for some time been the sense of
the executive committee and directors
that as long as the Commercial club is
to collect and maintain a comprehensive
collection of state resources in a spec-
ally prepared place in it's new building,
the maintenance of q duplicate display
in the Chamber of Commerce would
hardly be profitable, and become an I'M
called expense to the members of
the association. Moreover, the Staye
Fair association management decided
some time ago not to keep its own eX
.hibits any long AT the Chamber of Com
merce as it had suitable building ac-
commodations at the state fair grounds
for it's cases of exhibits which
are now being kept there, thus
avoiding the expense of moving and
breakage incident to two transfers each
year. Soft was apparent to the NJ. g.
NJ. people that it would be necessary
to buy quite an array of glass cases,
and to go to considerable expense to
replenish the stock of exhibits; hence,
their action. 1t is stated that it was
an understood thing between the three
associations that formal action was to
be taken on the situation by them all
before anything was gwen out for pub
LEGATION, and that the Real Estate as
ISOLATION violated this agreement in
making public Its action before the
members OF the M. & NJ. association
had time to take any action.
Mr.. McAllister and Mr.. Haddock say
there Is a proposition under consider
alton by their organization to conhne
It's operations entirely to working up
the manufacturing industries of the
state, dropping out the merchant fea-
ture, which may well and properly be
cared for by the Commercial club. The
idea also is to continue to maintain
the headquarters of the three organi-
cations as usual in the Swan building.
