greatest center of thought and activ-
ity in the world" said Herbert Quick,
member Of the Farm Loan Board
People here have risen to but a fee
bic conception OF the responsibilities
that such a position will impose. but
the City Club will help in a large way
to meet those responsibilities.
This club will be Of value because
1t is interested primarily in the city.
Other clubs are interested in the city
only secondarily. The City Club idea
and 1t is rapidly spreading over the
United States.

drastic provisions and delayed final
