The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1909-07-22
Club Club Is Is Very Very Much Much Alive
Committee Appointed to Secure Quarters for the
Club-Much Business Transacted Book
let To Be Issued.

The Richfeld Commercial Club il
not dead at all, they had only beer
enjoying a quiet nap during the ho
weather and woke to life last Wed
nesday evening in a manner to make
every one sit up and take notice thai
Richfield was still on the map and
they started the ball to rolling ir
in the way of city improvements thai
means much to the future of the
city.
The first thing they did of i'm
portance was to appoint committee
to see about securing permanent
quarters and furnishing the same,
which will add greatly to the strength
of the club and create great deal
more of interest in their meetings, as
people will then realize that the
Richfield Commercial club is per-
manent organization and will feel
more like taking an active interest.
On a motion duly made and Sc
conded it was decided that the club
get out a booklet advertising the re-
sources of Richfield and vicinity and
a committee of hustlers was appoint
ed for that purpose and the booklet
will probably be printed in time to
catch the prospective settler before
the homeseekers rates go into effect
this fall, thus giving Richfeld a
chance with the league of CONNER
cial clubs of eastern Idaho, which
have been sending out literature to
the prospective settler in the east.
The question of planting trees on
the townsite was also taken up and
a committee appointed to look into
the matter and there is no doubt but
what the committee will report IA
vorably on the proposition as all can
realize what it would mean in the
way of beautifying the city, as there
is nothing that could be done that
would add to the looks Of the town
as much as plenty of good shade
trees and the sooner they are put out
the sooner the citizens can reap the
benefit
The matter of fire protection was
another important matter that was
taken up, and met with great deal
of encouragement, as everyone rea-
Lies the Importance of this great ne
cessity, and a committee was appoint
ed to investigate the needs of ire
and the cost of equipping
the sam eand the chances are good
for we'll equipped volunteer fire
in Richfield in the very
near future and as the town has one
of the best water pressures in the
state with little expense would rig
a department. in first class shape.
The matter of cement sidewalks In
the business section of the city was
taken up and a committee appointed
to investigate the cost of the same
and as the majority of the property
owners are in favor of the walk it is
safe to say that the city will, in
very short time, have a good cement
sidewalk running from the depot
to the Richfield hotel.
The meeting was one OF the most
that has ever been held
IN Richfeld and the club got down to
business from the start and several
new members were taken into the
,lub and they will go after other new
members until they will have every
nan that has the welfare OF Richfield
It heart enrolled on their books as
member. The new members taken
n at the last meeting are G. H. Fitch,
Manager of the Idaho Irrigation Co., ]
1. D. Mason, attorney for the Idaho
irrigation Co., G. w. Micklewait, {
President of the First State Bank OF {
2ichfield and H. M. Moore, the Drug |
list. These gentlemen are all boost I
RS and will add greatly to the i
trength of the club. 7
