Is scheduled to be formally opened
March II. with a big mass meeting.
Leaders in the movement have de-
termined that such Is TO be one of
the first actions Of the new organi-

ficient committee rooms and separate
offices for the different departments,
a large reading and reception room
and other club features, and finally
large assembly room are desired by
the new Chamber of Commerce. Many
of the business men of the city de-
sire a new building constructed on
the model Of the best commercial or

stated that they will subscribe for
the number allotted to them by the
committee.
