tory Day" committee submitted re
port for his committee and recon-
mended that the event be made per-
manent. DR.. Cole outlined the ad-
vantages accruing to the owners OF the
plants visited and to the businessmen
making the visit. He declared that
the number of institutions employing
from two to thirty men located in

the assembly this year, declaring that
the program was the best that had yet
been offered.

discuss the advisability of renewing
the contract with the promoters OF the
annual Chautauqua. The matter was
discussed by various club members,
the general opinion being that the
board of directors be delegated tull
authority to accept or reject any oHer
! made bv the EllisonWhite company
1t was emphasized during the discus.
sion that while Caldwell citizens had
. for the last three years assumed the
burden of guaranteeing the sale OF ooo
season tickets, they had been actuateo
! solely by the belief that the event was
, beneficial to the city and tributary
territory, and have received no imam
: ial remuneration.

{ social relationship with the resident:
n of Caldwell's trade territory was
