important % budget activftiSs Tor the
new year rs II is to make up IMAM
cial budget.
There were many fine suggestions
received from the referendum circu-
lated recently, such as--Rest Room
for the county women. Improve roads
and shipping facilities. Help interest
farmers in raising thoroughbred
stock. Extend and improve county
telephone system. Support work UNI
dertaken by County Agent Bndeavor
to create new additions for building
sites for residences. More factories.
Create sentiment to brick West Sec
ond street from Wall to Rudy's groc-
cry, between car tracks. Credit rating
system.
AS we look into the future in an en-
deavor to plan the work for another
year, we see many things we would
like to do. We would especially like
to obtain closer cooperation between
the merchants of our city Many of
the young men have gone to the army
and the older men into government
work, so it will be necessary for some
mighty hard work in an endeavor to
keep the usual amount of business
passing through our channels of trade.
We have in mind the need of solv-
ing such problems as: Clean up I'M
slightly spots. Park and Fairgrounds.
Public comfort station, War gardens.
Industrial promotion. Better mer-
chandizing and home tradng. City
identifying. City planning. Public
recreation. Taxation. Develop com
munity spirit Public morals, Corn
and Tobacco Fair. Agricultural CO.
operation. Public utilities corpora
ton for best service. Cooperative
delivery. Publicity for city. Credit
Bureau Chamber of Commerce build
ing. Traffic Bureau. Merchants trade
trips.
l would feel disappointed if some
new thought, some new ideas were not
stirred up within you after having
heard this report, showing the oppor-
tunities for work in advancing the in
terests of our fair county.
Take these suggestions seriously
Turn them over in your mind. Add
your thoughts to them and present
them to the new officers with an Of
fer to help solve them. We have al
most enc hundred per cent. financial
response. Let us have one hundred
per cent response from the members
desiring to help solve the problems
that we must face in the new year.
We cannot dodge the issue. The
county that puts in 100 per cent. eff
fort will likely reap 100 per cent. re-
ward. There's not a member of the
Chamber of Commerce, not citizen
of Mason county but would like to see
Mason county step forward. But the
county can't exceed the pace set by
the citizens. Many progressive
worker has failed in his endeavors be-
cause he has tried to supercede pub
lie sentiment
The horse and carriage are all
groomed, hitched and ready for SER
vice. In other words, your organiza-
ton was never in better shape, better
organized and ready to do some real
big work for the advancement of the
county, in which we believe in, than
now.
The organization only waits the
sentiment of its members, the assur-
ance of their physical support and the
determination of the members that the
interests of the county shall be adj
vanced to the highest standard.
Assuring you of my desire to do my
utmost in the work of the new year
and of my desire to be of service to
the members at all times, 1 remain,
Yours very sincerely,
CARL DODDS, Secretary Manager
Maysville Chamber of Commerce.
