COMMITTEE PLANS
TO RAISE $4,000
FOR CONVENTIONS
Business Men Will Be Ask
ed to Subscribe That
Sum Annually.

A cltisens' committee Of thirty-six
members. representing the Chamber Of
Commerce. the Board Of Trade, and
the Retail Merchants Association, will,
In a few days. begin q thorough can
vass Of the business mon Of Washing
ton In an effort to raise an annual sub
soription of $4,000 for obtaining and en-
tertaining conventions In the National
Capital
This plan OF procedure, which was
determined upon at q meeting Of the
special committee on convention funds
from the Chamber OF Commerce at the
Chamber at noon today. differs from
any other plan previously adopted.
Heretofore Il has been the custom to
raise a. large q subscription as pos
sible to cover period OF several years.
Tho last canvass made was three
years ago, and expires this year. It Is
believed the new plan OF asking the
business interests to make o regular
contribution each year will prove more
attractive.
Will Be Only Appeal.
II was also agreed at the meeting to-
day that the committee would promise
In soliciting the funds. that no further
appeal for any special funds would be
made. 1t was the opinion OF the COM
mittee that the business men Of wash
ington are unnecessarily harassed with
repeated appeals for nelp on special
funds. and tiiat they would much prefer
making their total contribution in 'one
lump sum.
The committee will be composed OF
