IMPORTANT MATTERS
BEFORE CHAMBER Of
COMMERCE TONIGHT

Prompt action will yet secure a sweet
potato curing plant for Ardmore 10
take care of at least a part of the big
crop which will be harvested TINS 1all.
The importance of this proposition to
the community and the opportunity that
it presents for profits to all parties
commemorative farmer who grows the
potatoes and the company which mar
kets them-will be the topic of discus
sion at Friday nights meeting of the
membership of the Chamber of com
merce. This topic should alone attract
a representative number OF members.
Proposed HOnOrs TO Soldiers
Another question for discussion Will
be a proposal to present to each soldier
who enlisted from Carter county an
honor medal. This proposal includes
presentation ceremony, which shall he
a feature of the Carter County Free
Fair. If this matter is carried out IL
will prove to be the outstanding event
of the fair and should bring in the
greatest crowd that has ever been as
sembled on the free fair grounds
Akin to this subject will be that of
memorial to be erected in honor of our
considerable discussion and public opin-
ion seems to be very largely in 1aNor
of the erection of some useful memo
rial rather than merely ornamehtaI
one.
H. of L. VIII BE Discussed
It has also been suggested that the
topic of high cost of living, and at
tempts at price regulation, might be dis
cussed with benefit to all concerned.
In addition to these topics there are
several matters of unfinished business
left over from last meeting, including
some road matters. There are also
two or three proposals for publicity for
the city and county which will be pre-
sented.
Altogether there is so much business
in hand to be discussed that the eve
ming will be very busy one and should
be exceedingly profitable to the com
munity, provided the membership is
present in large numbers.
Tax Valuations Considered.
According to statement made TINS
morning by President G.. a. Ramsey,
probably the most important topic 1or
discussion is that of increased valuation
of Carter county real estate, py lhe
state board of equalization, and of action
to be taken in that connection by the
Chamber of Commerce, together with
the Retailers Association, Lions CLUB
and Rotary Club by way of cooperation
with the county commissioners. hear
ing will be held on this matter IN OK
lahoma City Monday, and the county
commissioners are asking for co-opera-
ton of various civic organizations in
presenting their case to the state OIL
cials. The Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee appointed to have chare of this
matter is composed of G. p. Selvidge, j.
Robert Gillian and T.. Il. Luke.
while many members are out of the
city these meetings are of too great i'm
portance to admit of their being carried
over to subsequent meetings, therefore
it is all the more incumbent to the
members, who are in the city, TO attend
and lend their council, said Secretary
Paul B. Smith today in discussing the
importance of items to be considered.
The meeting will be called to order
