concerning the welfare and advan
tages OF such community; to &C
quire preserve and distribute indus
trial and civic statistics and infor-
nation OF value to the public. and
to cooperate in such other under
takings as may have distinct bear
ing for the good of the community as
a whole, always upholding and ad-
vocating that we'll known, time-hon-
ored principle: EQUAL RIGHTS
TO ALL; SPECIAL. PRIVILEGES
