ing to make such a change, provided
the property owners along Main ST.
would furnish the necessary equip
ment in front of their property The
idea has been adopted in many cities
of the state much smaller than Ard
more. and the chamber of commerce
is very anxious to have the same here.
The question of street paving was
discussed to some length, and 1t was
decided to wait on the city commits
sioners and see if some steps could not
be taken to repair the defective pave
ment all over the city. This question
has been agitated for the past three
wears without result and the chamber
of commerce has decided that some
thing must be done at once in order
to preserve the pavement and not
leave the unsightly places row in evi'
dence, for strangers In the city to
gaze upon. This committee selected
by President Mullen, consisting of
himself, +. Z. Guillot and Kenneth
Hudson. will call on the commission
ers. examine the maintenance bond
and take proper legal steps to have
the defects in the paving repaired.
Some one suggested at the meeting
that the new curbing and guttering
now being put down on B St, S. w,
was defective, and this matter will
also be looked into and if such is
found to be the case, advise against
its acceptance by the city.
A petition from the citizens of HoX
bar was read, asking assistance from
| the chamber of commerce to assist
them in raising funds to build the
road between that place and this city
They have raised most of the funds
themselves and only lack about $15C
of the amount required. A commit
tee consisting of Max Westheimer
Moss Brady, Frank Hyden, w. w
Clements and j. w. Kruger, was
named to take this petition Monday
morning and finish out the amount
The question of a county exhibit
to the state fair was raised, and a
committee consisting of r. f. Scival
ly Fred Carr and F. X. West, was ap
pointed to confer with the board OF
county commissioners at their neXt
regular meeting, and ask them to do
nate 800, which they can do under
the law for this purpose, this commit
tee will report after the commission
ers convene. The county exhibit is be
| ing gathered by the seCrtary and
Agent Scott, and contains some fine
| specimens.
The secrtary has compiled a list OF
every business man in the city who
is not a member of the chamber OF
commerce, and he was instructed to
appoint committee on membership to
induce these men to join and assis'
in building up the city. The names will
be divided among the four wards OF
the city, and two men will be assigned
to each division. In this way every.
one on the list can be seen during the
course of an afternoon, and no doubt
many new members secured. This
committee will be named Monday, and
called upon to act not later than Mon
day afternoon.
The advertising committee is the
one with by far the largest amount OF
work to do. 1t has been several years
since the chamber of commerce has
produced literature of any sort to ad
vertise the city, and the demand for
information occurs daily through the
chamber of commerce by those who
have evinced an interest in Ardmore
and Carter county. No delay will be
tolerated by the president, and he as
sured the secretary yesterday that he
would see to it personally that each
one of the advertising committee got
to work on his respective task.
