Presidents Message.
To the Members Of the Chamber OF
Commerce: l desire to express to
you my appreciation OF the confidence
you have shown in me by electing me
President OF your body.
My enforced absence from Santa Fe
renders my presence impossible this
evening.
| believe that our organization is
capable of doing a great deal for the
advancement of our city. l shall
be pleased 10 work with you to that
end
We should make an effort to in
crease our membership and for that
purpose I have appointed a COMMIT
TEE ON MEMBERSHIP but | trust
that all OF US will assist in this, as it
is only by harmonious cooperation
that we can accomplish our objects
We are in a measure, the represen-
tatives Of the tax payers of this city
and county. 1t is just as important
that public funds should be effectively
spent as il is that they should be dis.
bursed honestly. Extravaganza and
waste are as destructive of the pub
lie good as dishonesty. We should.
therefore, keep a careful watch on
the administration of public funds TO
see that they are used for proper pur-
poses
Our present city administration is
doing good work on our streets, our
County has probably the best Court
House and the best Jail in the Terri.
tory Our officials should be com.
mended for what they have done that
is good. and encouraged to proceed
along the same lines to still further
improvement.
Santa Fe needs a sewer system and
our county needs better roads and
bridges. Let US use our influence
to get them.
Santa Fe and its surroundings
should be the recreation grounds of
the great Southwest. We have near
al hand beautiful scenery, a magnifi.
cent National Park, and wonderful re.
mains of the ancient people,
These can be made accessible by d
proper system of public roads and can
be brought to the attention of our
neighbors and tourists by an adequate
system Of publicity.
To this end I have appointed Com
mittees on PUBLICITY and STREETS
ROADS and BRIDGES.
/ 1t is desirable that our railroads
should put in effect passenger and
freight rates that will bring people to
us and transport our commodities at
reasonable rates.
have appointed Committee on
TRANSPORTATION.
To increase our population and
serve well our present inhabitants we
should have new industries and I
nave, therefore appointed a Commit.
tee on MANUFACTURERS and IN.
1DUSTRIES.
believe that these committees as
named will do good work and that
santa Fe will have a more prosperous
future as a result of the bringing to-
gether of the commercial interests of
our town in one body.
hope that we will be able to unite
all our people for the advancement of
our city and the creation of a proper
civic pride
l close, with best wishes for a
"GFEATER SANTA FE."
