To USE $4,000
FOR PUBLICITY
Chamber of Commerce Di-
rectors Suggest Amount
May Be Increased.

The directors OF the chamber Of com
MERGE Monday afternoon recommended
to the budget committee that $4,000
be designated as the publicity fund for
the current year. There was some ex-
preston from several Of the directors
that this might be insufficient. and the
result of that discussion was that as
the year advances, the sum might be
increased if the need for more becomes
manifest. A few moments after the
passing Of the motion fixing the sum
of the publicity fund, R. b. Orndorff
stated that n spirit Of economy had
been adopted and that this is borne out
by the fact that Of the sum appro-
priated for the National Livestock con-
vention, $500 had been saved; $500
on the Associated Advertising clubs;
ing Of the federal census.
Whether or not the manner OF ex-
tending membership under the old or
a new set Of bylaws. came up for de-
bate, and IL was decided that the old
classification Of membership should
continue. Instructions were given sec
rotary NJ A. Fraser to have the annual
report issued in booklet form, and to
send with each booklet a list Of the
membership Of the chamber Of COM
merce.
Entertainment Fund Reduced.
Because OF the slight attendance
upon the convention OF the Associated
Advertising clubs Of Texas, the apprO-
priation of $500 for the entertainment
Of this convention was changed to 500,
and the budget committee recon-
mended that this amount be expended.
H. Y. Ellis, chairman OF the ways and
means committee for collecting the re-
mainder of the budget sum, had lists
prepared of all prospects in the bust-
ness section and among property own
ers, and distributed these lists among
