which we shall be governed. The
duties of this committee will be to
get acquainted with the best rules
and bylaws of other commercial
clubs throughout the country and
then suggest and put into opera
ton the best suggestion and rules
that can be extracted from the
of other cities working
along the same lines as our club
will operate. They shall carefully
watch all the proceedings of the
organization and suggest at every
opportunity any remedy that will
tend to help the official staff in
carrying out the purpose and inten-
ton of the organization according
to prescribed rules and regulations
as accepted and adopted by this
body.
The committee on Fire Protec-
ton and Insurance is very i'm
portant committee for all taxpayers
of this community. In the first
place, this committee will be
expected to carefully inspect extra
fire hazard created in the COM
munity. The inspection of build
ings and chimneys will be in their
line, and after all the improvements
are made they should get in touch
with the Insurance Rating Bureau
and do all in their power to see
that the insurance rates in the city
are just and proper.
The duties of the Committee
on Game and Fish Protection are
one that ought to be carried out
as conscientiously as possible.
We are naturally endowed by the
advantages in this line, not pos
sessed. by many other cities, and
the preservation of game and fish
in this locality is treasure that
we ought to prize above everything
else, as this may eventually be the
means of making, this city a
popular summer resort. The game
and fish should be protected, but
also propogated. This committee
should get in touch with the state
Game and Fish Commission of our
state and should do everything in
their power to stock Our lakes with
as many fish as is possible to
obtain, as this is one of the main
advertising features that we will
have for summer tourists.
The Committee on Concessions
and Privileges is a committees
that can do more than any other
committee for the protection of
local tradesmen. This committee
will be expected to pass upon all
parties that are DESTROYS to operate
in our community with any wares
without a license. The local
tradesman should have protection
as he is the heaviest taxpayer in
the city and he stands the bulk of
the improvements and charity
work, and for that reason he is
entitled to all reasonable protec-
ton. This committee should
devise ways and means of licensing
anyone that comes into the city for
the purpose of temporary sales as
we'll as all other elements in the
city who should pay licenses for
their various privileges enjoyed in
our community.
The Committee on Trade and
Credit will be left entirely to the
management of the merchants
themselves. If the merchants de-
sire closer cooperation in this
field, this committee shall get
those merchants together and get
their sentiment and opinion on the
subject and present it to the Com
mercial Club, in which event the
Club will take the matter under
consideration and will do all that
is consistent with the rules of the
organization to promote the welfare
of all the merchants of this com.
munity.
The Committee on Health and
Hygiene will be expected to co.
operate with the Board of Health
of Ely and lend every assistance ii
looking after the health of the
city. They shall inspect the city
periodically. also report all condi
lions found unsatisfactory to thu
proper authorities, and, if neces
sary, recommend improvements ii
our health conditions. In case o
an epidemic they should get tn
