President deMontmollin stated that
as this was the regular meeting for
the election of officers for the ensu-
ing year, nominations for the various
offices would be in order. H. o. Hann
was nominated and his nomination
seconded but Mr.. Hamm stated that
he would be forced to ask that his
name be withdrawn, as it would be
impossible for him to serve in case he
should be elected.
Here's The Right Plan
Prof. Cassels, in very forceful
talk, told of some of the results of
similar meetings in other towns of
Florida and suggested that get
together meeting be held sometime in
the near future and in that way
build up the local Business Associa-
citation. He said that in one town re-
Gently, three hundred members had
been secured for the Board of Trade
through just such a meeting. Mr..
Cassels spoke of the need of Palatka
of the organization and said that
every man who is interested in the
growth and development of Palatka
should be a member of the Business
Mems Association. He stated that
while he was not a business man,
from a commercial standpoint, he
was intensely interested in the growth
of Palatka and that therefore he was
as much entitled to membership as
any merchant.
Following this talk, Mr.. Hamm
So %.ycsted that the president appoint
= "9miating committee to nominate
the officers for the next year. Fol-
lowing this Captain F. E. Wagner
seconded the suggestion which had
been made in the form of motion,
and rallied the citizens for taking so
little interest in a civic body which
could mean so very much to a city.
He also spoke very highly of the
work which Mr.. deMontmollin has
accomplished for the city during his
term of Office as president of the
Business Mems Association.
The following committee was
named to nominate the officers for
the organizations: F. E. Wagner,
Howell Davis, A. L. Teaff, and J. E.
johnson, and S. j. Hilburn.
C. E. Rowton suggested that if
collector were secured it would in all
probability be possible to get large
percentage of the outstanding dues
and thus be able to pay most of the
obligations of the body. A. L. Teaff
stated that as collecting was a part
of his business he would endeavor to
collect the membership dues. This
offer was received with great deal
of enthusiasm by all who were pre-
sent.
1t was voted to take recess until
inext Tuesday night.
