the Libby, McNeill 4 Libby firm In
Chicago made visit to La Junta
ana was given an opportunity to
look over the situation with the
hope that he would recommend to
his company the location of a plant
at La Junta. Some disappointment
has attached TO the reply received
from Messrs. Libby. McNeill A. LIB
by regarding the effort put forth
at that time, a brief note thanking
the association for its courtesy to
Mr.. Childs on his visit being about
the only tangible thing that had
come this way. The committee felt.
however, that the matter ought TO
be pushed vigorously and requested
the association TO take such action
as would contribute to this end.
The question was thrown open
for general discussion and the re-
! marks of several members of the
association left little doubt OF the
attitude existing among them. II
was the general consensus of opinion
that the time was ripe for dolag
something definite and tangible. II
was finally moved and seconded that
the three members OF the present
committee ON the condensnry prop
ositIon be retained and that the pres
ident appoint two others to assist
them and that this new committee
be empowered 10 collect funds and
select a man 10 40 TO Chicago and
