Directors Meetino

The directors of the Mesa Commer- cial club held a meeting yesterday afternoon in the club rooms to dis cuss the question of the continuance of the club in view of the fact that the city council has arranged to handle all advertising of the town and commu- nifty out of the clerks office. It was the opinion of the directors that there was ample room for poIn fields of en- oeavor. that any funds used by the city boosting Mesa would be well ex- pended. but that in the matter of cor respondence, answering inquiries and organized effort, it would be a mistake to let the Commercial club lapse. The dues for the coming year being re- duced to one and two dollars per month, has made the burden of ex- pense very light. The directors organ ized themselves into three committees, each to be added to one member of the soliciting committee appointed at the annual meeting, for the purpose of seeing all members at once and placing the matter fully before them. It is believed that with the conservative use of the city fund by the committee in charge and the amounts raised by the club, Mesa will have all money needed for promotion work. The expenses of the club will be carried on out of it's own dues
