Chamber Executives
Met Friday Nigh

A meeting of the board of directors
of the Ely Chamber OF Commerce was
held at the courthouse last Friday
night and was well attended. The
board Is composed of fifteen members,
and of these eleven were present. while
those who found IL impossible to at
tend so notified the secretary and ex.
pressed their regret.
The principal business brought be-
fore the board was the selection of an
executive committee, as provided for
in the bylaws adopted at the meeting
held last Monday night This commit
tee was finally selected and is now
composed OF Arthur Smith, o. G. Bates.
w. A. Leonard, George II. Ryan and
S. b. Elbert.
The next committee considered was
that OF membership. and resulted In
the following selections: c. W. Tor
renee. III. ]. Muller. ]. c. Riordan. c. G.
Gains. Vail Nj. Pittman, Ed AIillard and
A. A. Sherman.
The matter of permanent headquar-
ters came up for discussion, but Ii was
the general opinion that the chamber
had not yet reached the stage where ii
would be warranted in making the
necessary financial outlay to provide
suitable quarters, and II was therefore
laid over.
A meeting of the newly selected ex-
ecutive committee will be held tomor-
row night at the University club for
the purpose OF considering the best
timber from the entire membership to
serve on various committees to be ap-
pointed by the board Of directors. and
after a careful study from this angle
the executive committee will make its
recommendation to the board of direc-
tors.
