MANAGER BUNN FAVOR LIMITING MEMBERSHIP CHAMBER COMMERCE
Argues for Interest and Ac- tivity Rather Than
 Members

Whether mere numbers or earnest ness of purpose and steadfastness of performance shall be the slogan of the Chamber of Commerce is under consideration.
 The manager or the chamber, O. L. Bum, has suggested to the directors that there be serious consideration of raising dues from $25 to $50 per annum. Back of this proposal is the idea that only those who are really in earnest in the work Gf the cham Der should be considered as worth while members.
 MT. Bum says he tentatively in- clines to the view that smaller membership at larger dues is better than a larger membership at smaller dues. He believes there are enough firms and individuals in Birming ham for support of the chamber on the $50 basis.
 Mir. Bum has been led to consider this change because so many become members of the chamber who never pay their dues; drop in and drop out. They sign up under solicitation, but, he says, their ardor has cooled by the time the fee becomes due and they resign. come in again under a new solicitation and start it all over again.
 MT. Bum says he feels that a really stalwart membership of men who ap- preciate what the chamber means to Birmingham and will pay their dues regularly, even though comparatively small, will effect more good than twice or three times the number of those who drop in and out. The question of eligibility is not involved, says MT. Bum. It is merely one of efficiency.
 A special committee is making a study of the matter.
