CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE MEETING
Standing Committees For
The Year Selected And
Bylaws Amended


Morgan City and Berwick Chamber
of Commerce met at the City Hal
Tuesday night to hold a called meet
ing of the organization for the pur
pose of amending the bylaws anc
creating standing committees te
serve for the year. The meeting wa.
presided over by 1st Vice President
Ehrlich of the Berwick membership
Considerable discussion was held or
the matter of securing shipyard
for Berwick and it was apparent
that the Chamber of Commerce off.
cials were striving in every possible
way to have use made of the excel
lent ship building sites which Ber-
] wick has to offer. The secretary is
corresponding with some new con-
/ Germs with which he has recently got
/ ten in touch and it is believed that a
tdemand for Berwick's offerings will
develop very soon.
A report from the committee ap-
pointed to ascertain the ownership
of the neutral ground" along North
Railroad Avenue returned a report
that the agreement between the rail
road and city left the ownership Of
the ground in question vested in the
railroad. The secretary was instruct
ed to enter into correspondence with
the Southern Pacific officials with
view to securing building rights on
the neutral grounds It seems that
the part of the neutral ground lying
between the Gathright & Soumeillan
store and the main line tracks is very
desirable as a site for the proposed
Chamber of Commerce building.
After being duly advertised as
provided by the constitution and by
laws of the Chamber of Commerce
an amendment was voted which pro-
vided for finance committee and
for standing committee who will
have specific duties to attend. The
following committees were selected
by a Committee on Committees and
