COMMERCE CHAMBER Il
TO Be CONTINUED

Holding the organization together
until such time as sufficient inter-
est is aroused to Justify more preten-
tious undertakings, the Chamber of
Commerce annual meeting last night
resulted In the appointment of "a com
mittee to take over the work of a
secretary and the formation of a
definite plan OF action for the coming
year.
While the attendance was light. II
was largely because of the failure to
secure the court house rooms. as ex-
pected, and the meeting was held at
the Chamber of Commerce. Many
people, seeing the dark window fail
ed to attend.
The suggestions last night We're
frequent and varied. They ranged
from proposition suggested by A.
NJ. Starmont to raise the dues to 500
year and establish luxurious club
quarters. to another to drop the
whole matter until keener interest
is displayed In the organization The
compromise agreed upon was the
plan of Secretary Antics, who secur-
ed the appointment of a committee
of five who are to divide the eXecu-
tive work until some indefinite flu
ture time. Miss Barkuloo, the as
sistant secretary. will be continued
according to the plans last night. but
no regular successor to Mr.. Antics
will be named for some time.
Secretary Antics read his annual
report. II showed that there is n
balance of Sl7.63 to the credit of the
chamber after all old debts had been
paid. The expenditures of the body
for all purposes during the past year
was in excess of $2.100.
Mr.. Antics recalled the results of
the county division fight in which
nearly 5000 was spent by the cham
ber The money that came to the
city through the Midland trail move
ment was more than $4,000, while
the expenses We're much less than
that
Other work of the chamber was de-
tailed by Mr. Antics. who made n
plea for the continuation of the or
ganization along its present lines.
The committee appointed last night
was: w. Harrison, C. e. Cherring-
ton, T. NJ. Edwards, l.. Antics, with
a fifth to be chosen later.

RANKIN WILL URGE
USE OF SURFAC|NG

Commissioner j. H. Rankin, in his
annual report, will urge a general
use of the cement gravel with which
he surfaced North Seventh steet.
He declaes that while the material
is not the best 1t is an effective wear
ing surface and was proved a success
wherever used.
The cost per-lot will not be more
than S5.75,' the commissioner de-
clares. "and this can be afforded by
almost any property owner. There
are several streets graded ready for
such surfacing. and hope to see 1t
generally used this year"
The commissioner suggests that
the organization of a paving district
and the calling of an election entails
unnecessary expense and that the
work should be done by mutual
agreement.
