I fore made, containing the proposed
plan oil organization TO be published
IN the Durango newspapers, and
caused large number Of copies OF
such report TO be stricken off and cir
cuiated, and thereafter with the as
sistancc Of Il number Of people inter
ested in the formation of the club
proceeded to obtain subscriptions
both to the founding fund and as tc
membership. That under the form OF
the subscriptions and under the pro-
posal, the general outline of the pro
posed purposes OF the new organiza-
ton was set out, and it is assumed
that the cardinal features of such
plan have already been fixed and
agreed TO by the subscribers, and
that these features will be embraced
in, and continued in the organization
proposed TO be made
Others Should Belong.
Under the instructions given your
committee 1t was made its duty when
in its opinion sufficient founding
fund and sufficient membership sub
seriptions had been secured, to call Il
meeting of the subscribers for the
purpose of organization of corpora
ton under the state laws, and for
The purposes indicated in the report
heretofore made and hereinbefore re-
ferred to. Subscriptions to the found
ing fund amounting to little more
than thirty-three hundred dollars
have been secured; two hundred and
thirty or more membership subscrip-
tions have been obtained, and the
monthly income pledged for the first
year after organization is $4,000.
Your committee has found that there
are some three hundred persons in the
county who have not subscribed in
any way and who ought to belong to
the organization. A number of these
have indicated their willingness to
come in and subscribe to the found
ing fund at later period.
With the subscriptions, and in view
OIL the further assurances given, your
committee has felt that the club could
now be safely organized and has call
ed this meeting for that purpose.
Location.
Your committee has Investigated
the possibilities of securing a loca-
tion and is Of the opinion that the
original location referred to in the
former report and which has appear
ed to be desirable, can be obtained,
but ii is a certainty that in any event
quarters could be had which would
justify the organization of the club
and the occupation of such quarters
until such time as the club could be
permanently located, but its investiga-
tions in reference to quarters have
not been made with any view of choos-
ing the location but simply with a
view of determining whether some 10
cation could be had.
Until the organization of corpora
ton and the election of directors no
one may have authority to finally de
termine' these matters and they must
Of necessity be left to the directors.
Your committee further recommends
that the corporation be Immediately
organized under the state laws for
the general purposes indicated in the
report heretofore made and subject TO
the limitations and conditions there
in contained, and for the purpose of
aiding in the organization of such
corporation your committee has pre-
pared and submits herewith form
of certificate Of incorporation and a
form of bylaws which it is deemed
will be sufficient for the purposes OF
such organization. Your committee
that trustees for the
first year be selected and that such
or such other persons as may
be selected, nle articles of incorpora-
ton. Such steps are preliminary to
any further action, and the adoption
and execution of articles of incorpora-
lion and the selection Of trustees for
-he irst year are the only matters
that eau properly be taken up or dis
posed of at this meeting.
Must Work Together.
Under the proposal which has been
approved by the subscribers, it has
,een provided that the directors must
contribute their carnest and active ef-
lorts to The furtherance of the pur-
,oses OF the association, and that no
me shuld be selected as director or
'emain in such office unless he shall
live such attention to the matter.
four committee thinks this is one of
he important provisions in the pro-
osal and believe that it is of the ut
nnct frhportnnca that your trust aaS |
