Club Members into Active Work.
List of Committees.
There was q large attendance OF
members at the meeting OF the
Dodge City commercial club held at
the Phenix club rooms Tuesday even
ing. This was the first meeting OF
the club since the charter arrived
and il was certainly business like
gathering.
The Dodge City commercial club
is not only one Of the strongest
bodies Of the kind in Kansas in
membership and material but it has
the further distinction for having as
its president man who is known in
Kansas as the best presiding officer
the Kansas Senate has ever had.
The directorate is composed Of strong
men too and o great deal is to be ex-
pected Of the club.
Much work has been done already
even while waiting to perfect organ
ization. President Fitzgerald an
nounced Tuesday night that the d.
rectors and officers had taken up
differf mt lines Of work. The presi-
dent himself has make trip to Chi
cago in the interest Of Dodge City,
and number Of things have been
taken up by correspondence. The
directors Of the club will make sys-
tematic study Of the question Of rail-
road development in Western Kan
sas. There are number OF posi-
Utilities in the way Of railroad build
ling which would benefit Dodge City
and the directors Of the commercial
club are very much encouraged BY
their Investigations Of this matter.
| Agreat deal Of the work Of the
club will be done quietly through the
officers, directors and committees.
The committees will embrace a large
number Of the members Of the club,
as they have been made up outside
OF the directorate largely.
The house committee will secure
business Offices for the clubs work,
the headquarters will be opened with
the secretary in charge, and the club
will be working strong from now on.
From the expression at the Tues
! day night meeting it is probable that
arrangements may be made for hold
ling the called meetings Of the MEM
bers in the Phenix club rooms.
There is no doubt that the new or
ganization is not only the strongest
commercial club ever started in
Dodge City. but in any town in the
west half of Kansas, and there is
J certainty that it will mean great
deal to this town and county.
! It looks like it ought to be in order
! to celebrate this clubs organization
, soon with a big banquet, to which
, representatives Of the Arkansas valley
. towns should be invited, and perhaps
t convention Of the Arkansas valley
3 town commercial clubs could be held
here the same date, to form a gen
eral plan for developing the valley.
