The directors adjourned a spirited
evening session to meet in Marquette
August q, when ways and means OF
financing three year program will
be considered
Acceptance of the presidency by Mr..
Weidman, OF Trout Creek, was made
conditional on the agreement OF John
A. Doelle, the secretary manager OF
the association. 10 continue 10 give
his full time to the duties OF the office
he has filled the past few years.
Mr.. Doelle recently accepted an i'm
portant state appointment. He had
agreed to give part OF this time TO
the affairs OF the Development Du-
reau. But II was the opinion or the
newly elected directorate that there
should be full time secretary-man-
ager and that Mr.. Doelle should be
the man. Mr.. Weidman the presi-
dent, Is particularly insistent on Mr
Doelle's retaining the office. II he is
TO direct the affairs OF the bureau.
Doelle May Accept.
Mr.. Doelle indicated afterwards
that. under certain conditions, he
would consent TO continue as secret
ary-manager OF the bureau.
One OF these conditions is the agree
mcnt OF the directorate on a financial
program that will assure the support
OF the organization on the basis OF q
$4,000 70 $4,000 annual expenditure
for a period Of three years. Another
rs that the directorate shall see that
willing assent is given by the state
officials TO his REIMBURSEMENT OF the
appointment with which he has been
recently honored.
Members OF the board are confident
that these conditions. which they
agree are reasonable, will be met,
and they expect that Mr.. Doelle Will
continue In charge OF the bureaus
activities. II is likely that some de-
finite decision on the point will be
reached At the meeting in Marquette
the later part of the month.
Bureau Faces Deficit
To date August /, the bureau has a
deficit of approximately $4,000 For
the year ending February / last, the

the months since that date the bureau
has suffered shrinkage in income
due to depressed conditions in the
mining and lumber industries, which
has led some Of the large contribu-
tors TO withdraw or curtail their
subscriptions. The current expenses
have lately been met by loans, aud the
meeting the deficit, as we'll as pro-
vision for the new financing, will have
TO be taken up az the meeting
on the 9th. A minimum income of
s25, 900 a year Is required for the
work Of the bureau.
