Gentlemen:

Roanoke, Va. sept 20, l5VS
Chamber of Commerce,
Gentlemen:
ION September IA a circular was
issued from this Office by direction
of cur local committee stating that
the convention which it was expect
ed woul be held in Roanoke and Sept.
1916 for the consideration of the COM
mission form of government was post
poned to Oct. 81. Shortly after the
issuance of this circular a ccmmuni-
cation was received from j. Davis
Reed, President Virginia League OF
municipalities, under date of Sept 16
suggesting that the various CONNER
ciaI organizations send delegates to
Staunton to participate in the 4th
annual convention OF the League on
October rs. AS considerable press
comment has been made on this sub
ject and some suggestions offered
looking to the abandonment of the
Roanoke meeting and Of the combin-
ing Of the two conventions at Staun-
ton, 7 again write to inform you that
the Roanoke convention will be held
on the date mentioned. namely octob-
er 81. We feel that as but one sub
ject is to be considered, namely the
Uerits of the commission form OF
Nvernment and the preparation of a
Memorial to the Virginia Legislature
asking that a constitutional amend
ment be submitted to the people OF
Virginia for their decision as to
whether cities shall be allowed local
option in this matter, our best thought
and energy can be concentrated az a
meeting held for the specific purpose
Of considering these matters rather
than as a convention where various
subjects will be discussed relative to
municipal affairs. Consequently II IS
earnestly hoped that your orgsniza-
ton viii decide to send a good dele
gaticu TO the Roanoke meeting. and
will thank you TO advise me AZ your
earliest convenience as 70 your decis-
ion in the premises.
VERY truly yours.
The Chamber Of Commerce.
