pointed by this club to solicit funds to
take care Of the advertising and pro-
motion of all things for the interests
of this community as well as to take
up the Indebtedness of this club have
completed their labors and are now
ready to report.
We have secured 1O2 contracts
which amount to $604.00 per month or
$7248.00 for the next twelve months
We have tried to see everyone in the
community who we believed should be
interested in a fund of this kind and
wish to report that while we did not
see all whom we wished or called on,
yet of all persons interviewed we can
report but sixteen names who are not
on the contributing list.
The names of these persons are at
tached to this report.
The committee believes that these
names should be placed in the hands
of all persons, who in the future may
come to this organization for aid.
We have notified every subscriber
to this fund to be present tonight at
$50 D. m. at these rooms for the pur-
pose of relieving this committee of
these contracts and making some pro-
vision for the collection and expen-
diture of funds as collected.
Before truning over the contracts
we would like to state the main facts
which were used in securing these
contracts, and expect that this body
before accepting these contracts from
this committee that you will distinctly
understand that these conditions must
be carried out to the letter.
The facts presented are, viz:
MI .4,.ns 81 an ~
these contracts that it rendered a per-
son immune from contributing to any
other fund excepting for church,
school, or charitable purposes.
I'd. To members of the Commercial

tracts that the regular club dues OF
$1.00 per month should be all that they
would be expected to pay in addition
to amount named in contract.

mercial club that the funds collected
from them would not be used in pay
ing any Of the Commercial club in

forth that during the next twelve
months that funds subscribed by them
should in part be applied to clear up
all Indebtedness of the Commercial

subscribers to this fund would send
all persons soliciting funds, with ex-
ceptions above named, to the sub

some central committee named by this
body.
9Th. The G. A. r. had a committee
in the field soliciting funds for their
state encampment when this commit
tee began our labors and we MADE
them n proposition that II they would
cease their labors in soliciting that
their demands should be cared Tor
out OF our funds, and that they should
return ali moneys collected from
those who had signed one OF our con-
tracts and that those who had pledged
them aid but later signed one OF our
contract should not be called upon to
pay the amount pledged, To non sun
scribers to our contracts but who had
contributed to their fund we expected
them to make collection. It was uu-
