LAST SESSION IF DISTRICT CLUB
 IS BUSY ONE
Many Matters Taken Up At Last Meeting Under Present Officers - Election Next Wednesday Evening.


 In addition to making plans for the
 "get acquainted" business mems mo.
 tor trip to the military camps at Na.
 co, a large amount of business was
 h ansacted by the directors of thc
 Commercial Club at their meeting.
 lt was the last meeting of the pres. ent board of directors in the club
 year for the annual meeting and elec-
 tiou Of a new directorate will be held
 hex Wednesday evening
 The matter of retaining the mni,a. | ry camps at Naco received especial
 attention and a committee was ap-
 pointed to wait on the directors cl Itht Bisbee-Naco Water Co. relative
 to the rates that are being charged. | This committee, composed of Messrs. l Newman. Overlook and Yoakum. ac. Icompanied by the secretary called oa l Nil. W. II. Brophy vice-president of
 the company yesterday morning aud ! vas assured by him that the direc-
 toTs of the company had met earlier
 in th, day, had sent represpntltlee | tc zee Captain Huguet the qua ,pr- master and ascertain just what was complained of and what asked and that if the camp shall be moved from Naco elsewhere it will be for reas DIS mot connected with the rates chargcd for water. What the company wh do in the matter is to be definitely told the committee either today or tomorrow, probably this morning.
 Another matter of importance 10 the district that was considered was the matter Of fire premiums The reply from the corporation commiss- ion stating that legislation is necess- ary to give that body the power to supervise insurance rates and a let ter from Frank Slaker, surveyor of the Arizona Rating Ohice were read. The latter letter makes it evident that nothing can be expected of the rating office and that remedial legis-
 ation to give the requisite powers to the Corporation Commission is the next step to be taken. The legisla- .ture will not be organized until the new directorate of the club is elected and hence this matter is left for such new board to undertake.
 Letters from Senators Ashurst and Smith relative to a site for a federal building were also read. These let ters assured the directors that both would cooperate with Representative Hayden in an effort to have an ap- propriation for such a site included lin the appropriation bill As this can not be definitely determined until such bill is passed it will be another legacy that must be left for the new board
 City paving was also considered and on this the board stands as it has at all times. It especially favors the paving of Naco Road as being of the greatest benefit to the greatest number, but it is interposing no ob- jection to any paving projects in the city. Since $19OOO was levied for street improvements. that sum should be devoted to paving as a permanent improvement
 Bids for the construction of a sign i board, similar to those below the Denn Bridge were opened and the award made 10 Henderson & Watkins Lumber Co.,, as the lowest bidder. while the painting contract was given c. N. Cavis, who bid lowest for that part of the work. This sign will not differ materially in wording from those below Lowell and will set forth !. information relative to the resources of the district. It will be 10 by feet feet in size.
 A report from the committee on signing the danger point near Forest l stated that such signs will be erecte- !. ed within the next few days. Piping ! IS to be set into concrete and metal ! signs riyeted on one on either side . of the dangerous curve.
 The resolution of the Prescott i Chamber of Commerce relative to the ! Mothers Pension action was read. | uIh0IIIAT0 VIIAAEyw Avn
