PROGRAM Of PUBLICITY
AGAIN WITH COMMITTEE
Chamber of Commerce, il
Special Meeting, Delays
Final Action.

No decisive action in regard to the EN-
ployment of publicity agent to adver-
tise Washington was taken at the special
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.
called last night for the purpose of re-
considering the action of the chamber
taken at the regular December meeting,
when the project was approved. IT was
decided to refer the matter back to the
publicity committee, with which it origi-
mated. At the first regular meeting Of
the chamber following the annual meet
ing January 9, when the election of Of
ficers takes place, the project will be,
again under consideration.
State of Finances Forbids.
The absence of all but two of the MEM
bers Of the committee which originally
brought in the resolution providing for
the employment Of a publicity agent was
one factor in postponing the decision In
the matter. The special meeting was
called at the request of about thirty men,
bers of the chamber who believed that the
action had been taken without sufficient
consideration. Albert Schulteis last night
declared that the members who had asked
for the special meeting had become con-
WINGED that the finances of the chamber
did not warrant a large expenditure for
| a publicity agent at this time.
Others File Objections.
A. Lisner. treasurer of the chamber.
| said he believed the adoption Of the plan
would cause the bankruptcy of the cham
| Der within two years.
II. c. Stiles moved that the matter be
| referred back to the publicity committee
and this motion was seconded by Conrad
Syme. 1t was unanimously adopted.
