WatertOWn Bodies
Unite Their Forces

Watertown, April 28.-The propo-
sal of the union of the chamber of
commerce and the merchants asso-
citation was approved at a merchants
association meeting, when the board
of directors of that organization was
authorized to perfect the amalgama-
tion with the chamber of commerce
in which the. merchants association,
with it's credit rating system, will
remain as one of the bureaus.
The plan, as pointed out by mem
bers who have investigated the prop
osition and favored it, will have many
advantages, chief among them being
the union of forces that are working
much of the time to arrive at the
same end but with divided effort.
The union of the two organizations
will greatly increase the effectiveness
of the interests which have made UP
their membership.

AUTOMOBILE SHOW
FOR MADISON
AUTO DEALERS AND BUSINESS
MEN DECIDE ON MAY
AS THE DATE.

The auto dealers of Madison held a
proposition of an automobile show.
A good representation was present
and interest in the matter was suf-
ficiently strong to warrant calling
another meeting at the Commercial
club today to get the views of the
merchants.
Ivor Raads new garage will be COM
pleted in time to put on the show
there on Saturday, May 8. Cement
for the floors will all be run by that
time. 1t is one of the most spacious
rooms in the city and is sufficiently
lighted to set off any display made.
AT 1870 p. m. the gathering at the
Commercial club considered the prop
osition of the auto dealers and agreed
to give it their best support. Boost
ing for the show and general adver-
tising will be begun at once.
AS a special feature for that occa-
sion a dance will be held in the au-
tomobile show display room in the
evening. The city band, it is thought
can be secured to furnish music and
a parade, too, has been planned to
make the event more attractive.
A committee of auto dealers has
been appointed to look after all the
details and in a few days everything
connected with the forthcoming show
will have been arranged.
On that same day, Saturday. May
s, the stockholders of the new Madi-
son hospital are to meet in the city
400 people are financially interested
in that institution and their presence
will augment the crowds that come
here for the show

bond issues voted for public improve

failed. 1t is illegal for the city COM

of the bond issue, and the only hope
of a sale of the bonds in the near
future will be through an amend
