TEMPE
BOARD OF TRADE GROWS.
The Proposition Placed on a Sound Basis and Stock Selling at
 Rapid Rate.

Another enthusiastic meeting of the Tempe board of trade was held We'd nesday evening at the, Goodwin opera house with a good attendance of busi- ness and citizens of Tempe and vicin- ity. Reports of the different commit tees appointed at the previous meeting were listened to. The committee on organization reported that after due consideration it had decided that the best plan of procedure would be to in- corporate the board under the laws of the territory, thus giving it a more fixed and substantial basis. After a thorough discussion this plan was adopted by the board and within a few days the Tempe board of trade will be incorporated with a capital stock Of S50O0 divided into 5000 shares the par value of which is one dollar per share. The purchase of one share of stock constitutes a membership and entities the holder to a voice in the affairs of the board. It was decided that the dues for membership shall be 50 cents per month.
 Following the adoption Of the report VI lDc 1hN committee on membership made its re- port showing that eighty citizens and business men of the community had signed the roll This report was also adopted and the committee was con tinued. The committee will be better able to do good work now for it has something substantial upon which to work. Last week it was rather an up hill job since it had not been settled just what the expense would be. It is now definitely understood that the purchase of one share of stock con- stitutes a membership and the dues per member will be 50 per month with a discount of dollar for a years pay ment of dues in advance. That is to say 8 will pay for the dues for year, whereas if paid by the month, Se is required.
 The above is the plan of organiza tion and the method of procedure for the permanent support or the board. However, it is obvious that in order to put the board on its feet and place it in a position where results can be ac- complished within a reasonable space of time, money must be raised by a more expedient course than by secur- ing membership at a dollar each and waiting for funds to accumulate on a four bit month basis. IL is therefore necessary that the board raise funds by the sale of stock and it is urged that each man purchase as much stock as he feels able to. Is should be dis tinctly understood that the dues re- main the same-50 cents per month. whether a man owns one or ten shares of stock The purchase of additional shares is of course in the nature of a free will offering but it is one that many have felt constrained to make in a public spirited manner, appreciating the fact that the money is going for a good purchase and that every dollar spent in boosting the board and Tempe will return in time seversl fold in the upbuilding of the town and the pro- motion of the interests of the com munity.
 Before the meeting Wednesday evening adjourned. subscriptions for stock were opened and most flattering results obtained. In almost less time than it takes to write it, over S20O was subscribed from those members pres ent. The following is the list of mem- bership and those names followed by figures represent the amount of stock subscribed. Where no figure follows the name it means that the party has not yet subscribed for stock, probably not having had the opportunity: w. H. Wilbur ,, J. O. Mullen 5. A. J. Peters, c. P. Mullen, J. A.
