APPOINT SECRETARY
AFTER OCTOBER |

duet of the club and recommending
the name of a secretary, desires to re.
port for your consideration the follow
ing recommendations
First: Liquidation of Indebtedness.
Your committee is OF the opinion that
the usefulness of the club has been
greatly inmaired by it's debt, and that
the work and efficiency of its aecre
tary have been badly circumscribed
by his continuous efforts to reduce
this Indebtedness. We, therefore,
think it essential that all the indebted.
ness of the club amounting to $10S0,
be liquidated in full before another
secretary is employed. To that end
we recommend that all members of
the Commercial Club pay their Angus.
and September dues as early as pos
slble, and that a strong special com
m1ttee be appointed with instructions
to proceed as rapidly as possible to
collect ell membership dues for the
months of August and September, and
that after raising, all funds available
from this source that this special com
mittee make special effort to raise
the balance necessary to retire said
Indebtedness, by general subscription,
using as a basis the subscriptions al
ready pledged for the liquidation of
the good roads note of the club. We
recommend that this work be per
formal and this Indebtedness liquidat-
ed if possible before the first day OF
September.
Future Finances.
Second: Future Finances. AS soon
as the special committee above men
toned is in position to report the club
free Of debt, your committee suggests
that full membership meeting of the
club be held for the purpose of APP
proving 4 plan for the future financ-
ing and conduct of the club. This
committee further recommends that
said membership meeting give to the
undersigned committee authority to
canvass the membership for annual
subscriptions for the support of the
club, said subscriptions to be payed
quarterly in advance, and be put in
legal form, so that the Board of Di-
rectOrs may intelligently approximate
the amount of funds available for
their years work.
Third: Employment of Secretary
Your committee further recommends
that if the subscriptions are ample
and sufficient to justify the hope Of
year of activity that it be authorized
10 investigate and recommend a sec
rotary to be employed to begin work
on the first day of October
These, in brief, are the unanimous
conclusions and recommendations of
your committee. and are submitted
for the consideration, endorsement,
modification Or rejection Of the Board
of Directors.
Respectfully submitted,
