uNsELFlsA PUBLIC SERVICE.


1t is refreshing in this day Of sci
fishness and of challenged motives &c
have attention called to an mselfish
public service performed at a sacri
flee for months without ever getting
attention.
Most men boast of civic enterprise
when they devote a day or two or a
dollar or two to public welfare. 9th.
ers boast of public interest when they
work for public veal under pay.
Secretary L.atta, retiring officer OF
the Chamber of Commerce, set a
standard that will be a long time be-
fore duplicated, when practically
without the knowledge or attention Of
others he conducted the office he held
in such a manner that he directed the
revenues that come into his hand to
public needs along general lines and
took nothing for himself in the salary
line. When you get down to brass
taclzs and analytic this you will find
that mark has been set that means
something.
