1t would be idle to say that this meet
ing was an enthusiastic one, from the
fact that many of those present came
over thirty miles by automobile during
the coolest day Of this fall to lake part
in the deliberations of the body. 1t was
a noticeable fact that all those present
We're OF one mind as to the %desirabilty
and the necessity Of doing something to
attract immigration to the Loop country.
The only question that came up was as
to what methods should be pursued in
doing this work. The personnel Of the
Ways and Means committee are all pro-
gressive and energetic business men who
realize the necessity of prompt action
in this matter. and it is expected that in
side Of thirty days this committee will
be ready to report with one of the most
comprehensive plans ever inaugurated in
the state. h secretary OF the associa-
ton will open his office Immediately and
be ready in a few days to answer any and
ali Inquiries directed to his office. Lans-
ford feels highly COMMUNICATED over hav-
ing the secretary's Office assigned to this
CITY. ana 1t is needless to say that the
business men of this city will do their
full share when the time comes. 4.
