THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 The people of Globe are fortunate in having at work in their interests the most active and resoureeful chamber of commerce Tn Arizona. It is neither stretching truth nor trltng With facts to say that no city in the country has men capable of more earnest and effective effort for growth than Globe has in the men who give time and energy to boosting every worthy enterprise furthering the stability of this city as an in dustrial wonder and as one that will have no peer among the mining cities of the world five years hence.
 Tuesday night, in a session that will always be memorable in the annals of Globes advance ment toward metropolitan standards and pro- portions, the board of governors voiced de termination to secure for Globe number of things that will have effects more far-reaching probably than even these men, themselves, have dreamed of And every citizen with loyalty to Globe s interests as one of the tenets of his business faith should pay homage, should give fealty and active support to the plans outlined by this progressive group of workers for the city's welfare. The people of Globe will do that For the resolutions which the chamber of comerce has given expression through it's board of governors are of the kind that will readily ap- peal to every man dependent on Globe for sus- tenance, for home and for successful career. Every resident will recognize at once, if he has not already done so, that the facilities advo- cated by the board of governors are those that Globe most needs and must have if she is to re- tain her prestige among the cities of the great southwest. When men manifest an unmistak- able spirit of accomplishment when they are so unselfsh as to give the city in which they live their valuable time and services the least that the other people in that city can do is to stamp their acts with approval and extend encourage ment, cooperation and thanks to these indvdu- als who thus give incontrovertible proof of their public spirit And it is trite to say that the peo- pie of Globe, who have proven in the past that they maintain to this city $ everlasting glory the highest standard of intelligence prevailing in any territorial town, are not ungrateful to merit and ability employed in their behalf.
 It is mere formaty for the Silver Belt to voice approval of the recent action of the cham Der of commerce governors.
 The installation of sewer system is some thing for which it has long and earnestly striven for in the well-founded hope that persistent eff fort might ultimately have its reward
 The proposal to utilize the water from the Old Dominion mine in providing proper flushing ia cilities fire protection and lawn sprinkling is Oue IIidI Has tle sincere cOlnlnenUaClOn or the Silver Belt which tries to voice the sentiment of the people as it really exists
 The plan to consolidate the chamber of com merce and the Saguaro club under new name expressive of the aims of the organization thus effected is one that should appeal to everyone and is plan that should be perfectly feasible and not difficult to execute
 The securing of a salaried secretary to give his whole time to the chamber of commerce and, consequently, to the boosting of Globe far and near would rebound to Globes credit in a meas ure that can hardly be exaggerated. capable man in the position of secretary would be tre- mendous factor for the promotion of Globe en- terprises and for attracting desirable resi- dents to the best and most prosperous city in the southwest. As the adage runs "Nothing succeeds like success, and so Globe, with an able man to keep in close touch with every phase of her progress and to herald the advantages of the city and its mining district over the entire coun try would undeniably augment her business her population, and, consequently, her civic advan- tages to the point of realizing the ideal fostered by every sincere worker for progress, to make Globe the greatest city in the world having the mining industry as it's foundation.
 And so, let us hope that the chamber of com merce, having confidence in the full support of
