business, location, comfortable homes,
and added that all interests are mu-
tual and should be boosted
Mr.. Maggie told of how Springeryille,
a town of two stores an d hotel, had
become better known to visitors to
Arizona than had Winslow, because
OF the community spirit and their
civic pride, and the fact that they
boosted their town in every way. He
told of the results achieved by Spring
erville, by issuing early in the sum-
mer, their illustrated publicity book
let, and how it had put Springerville
on the map.
Following Mr.. Nagle's spirited talk,
Or. Sampson presented motion to
the meeting, that steps be taken at
once to organize some sort of an as
sociation to act for the city in pub
licity and unofficial matters. There
were many seconds to the motion.
Before the motion was put to a
vote Joe Lieberman made some we'll
received remarks, stating that with
the class Of people in this city. it can
do wonders, that it can build to
heights that no other city along the
line can reach, but that heretofore
there has been something lacking,
which he believed was an efficient
civic body. He stated that paved
streets, and nice homes were not
enough, that to grow was imperative,
and to grow meant bringing in out
side capital and businesses. Facilities
not now represented in the city are
needed to bring people here, and the
logical body to deal with these stu
atoms was a Chamber of Commerce.
A unanimous vote to organize such
a body expressed the sentiment of the
meeting.
On motion of DR.. e. C. Gilpin, the
name of Bill Maggie was presented as
temporary president of the associa-
ton. e. HI. Black suggested that no
further nominations be made, and Mr..
Maggie was acclaimed president.
In quick succession, and all by ac-
clamation, Hon. Sam Proctor of The
Mail was elected vice-president and
Joe Lieberman secretary-treasurer
Mr. Proctor, as president of the Rot
AIRY club, spoke for that body, express
sing it's appreciation for the special
invitation extended to them to take
part in the meeting, and further ex
