Revie, Gr Work Done by the Club
Dur the Past Year-Busi-
ne Affairs in Good Shape.
The annual meeting of the James
town Commercial club was held at
the city hall Tuesday evening. There
was a report by Secretary c. F. Rath-
nsan reviewing the work done dur
ing the past year, and making
number of important suggestions FOR
the coming year. In considering the
activities of the officers of the club,
and what had been accomplished
during the past year with the limit
ed amount of money at disposal, ev-
cry member of the club should feel
that great deal has been done, and
considering the time and money
spent, the work of the club has been
f6f the substantial benefit of the city.
This conclusion may not; at first, be
reached from casual view of the
work of the club, but when the tran
sactions Of the year have been listed
and reviewed as has been done by
the retiring secretary, every member
of the club and every resident of
jamestown can feel that they have
done much to be congratulated upon.
Secretary Rathman for the past two
years has devoted much time to the
work. He has been careful to see
that all expenditures ordered by the
club have been paid, and the club
enters the year 1914 with an excel
lent record for the past year, with all
BILLS paid, and balance in the treas
ury. The expenditures have been
economically made, and it is believ-
ed that little or no money has been
spent unwisely or without getting
full value received. Secretary Rath-
man was unanimously reelected but
urged the fact that he had already
devoted much of his time to the
work, and that while he was willing
and anxious to do his share. he want
ed the details of the work to be TAX
An by some other member; Andrew
Haas was therefore Unanimously
elected secretary, and it is predicted
will make valuable officer Of the
club. President ]. ]. Nierling was
induced to again accept the Office,
and the club will be given for an
other year the benefit OF his sugges-
tions and attention to the work.
From a report of the secretary 1t is
seen that the following associations
and conventions were entertained in

Commercial club, during 1913:
