NO AID FROM
PUBLIC SERVICE
CORPORATIONS
New Association of Commerce
Not to Solicit Memberships
from Public Utilities

Steps have been taken to incor.
porate the Association of Commerce
of Bismarck. Within a short time
directors and officers will be selected
to direct it's affairs.
It has been decided by the guaran-
tors of the association not to accept
memberships or to solicit contribu-
tions from public utilities. Those who
have signed petitions in many in
stances have expressed desire to
be free of all entanglements with
public service corporations whether it
be electric, water, gas or telephone
corporations.
The sole aim of the new civic cor
poration is to work for the best in
terests of every section of Bismarck
and that interest, many signers OF the
petitions, contend, may mean taking
action when necessary to defend the
test interests of the city.
In too many instances it is
pointed out that heads of some
organizations have been closely
identified with public service cor
porations. To avoid any criticism
| that this association might be con.
trolled by any clique or faction. il
was decided not to solicit contribu
tions or memberships from such
sources, but to maintain an attltud;
of fairness to them. all and to trea1
every issue between the city and sucf
corporations absolutely upon it's n1er
it's and in conformance with the bes
interests and welfare Of Bismarck.
Those who initiated the Association
of Commerce are pleased with tn
progress made so far in lining up tn
business interests of the city behint
an organization whose motto will b.
a Square Deal for Everyone"
