To the Commercial Club, Hot
Springs, South Dakota.
Gentlemen: We. your Budget Com.
mtttee respectfully submit the follow.
ing report relative to the raising of
funds for the support of the Club for
the ensuing year. At the meeting held
February SSh, it was the judgement of
the members present that the Club
should have fund of not less than
$4,000 for the coming year. While this
is greater amount than we have ever
attempted to raise, it is less than sur
rounding towns of similar population.

Fourche and others, are contributing
to the support of the ir organizations.
In view Of the fact that our greatest
source Of revenue is from the tourist
business, the advertising and enter

countries an impossibility; with the
worlds greatest exposition now open
on the Pacific coast; with crop and
market conditions favorable and with q
healthy wove of prosperity in sight, we
should have no hesitation in doinr onr
individual part toward making a su-

which is justly due ne.
With this end in view, your COM
mittee has devoted great deal of time
In consideration of an equitable man.
