out Ia statement Of the association's
Intentions during the present year
both In major and minor projects
These are announced separately on
this page.
The new president began by prais-
Ing the newspapers as q force in q
community. but said the community
itself must act when things are "a
Be done.
Then he called attention to the
need Of IN airport as part Of the vast
air development Of the United States,
He expected considerable to be done
In this direction this year.
The improvement Of highways was
referred to as lettering trails Of bust
ness. and he said q roads committee
will follow the 20 and 80 road pro-
grams vigorously. But he said this
trade territory must also be cult
waited by visits. What It needs most
Is Q research specialist to study the
patrons Of the various stores and as
certain their trading reasons. The
association also should have a COM
plete report, he said, on general COM
munity trade facts, and each mer-
chant should be given q transcript Of
what applies to his own business.
Analyses Convention Dollar
In recommending efforts to get
more conventions here, he analysed
the dollar spent by such visitors.
showing that 1t is not the hotels alone
that benefit. A survey has shown
that they receive % per cent Of the
money spent by conventions in q
town. The restaurants get Is per
cent, retail stores 81, garages 10, the
aires 3, and miscellaneous channels
absorb the remaining 10 per cent.
The hotel In turn spends its dollar
IN the form Of salaries and wages to
the extent Of 81 per cent, merchandise
1914 per cent, sundries 1917, depreci-
alton tx, taxes and insurance 6k !,
interest and returns on capital IL
per cent.
Thus, he said, % per cent Of every
dollar paid by hotel guests should be
obtained by local business men.
Speaking Of attempts to locate in
dustries, president Taylor said:
In our research program for trade
territory 1t might be well to add an
industrial research. Before we can
interest industries We must be able
to establish, among others, the fol-
lowing facts: Presence or absence Of
ample source Of power for operating

Of other factors which make for sue

that we have Is to Is industries CO.
pable Of growing into big concerns, Il

them and support them. This recon-
meuded project viii be referred to the

Other Plans
He added:
"A small appropriation has bsen
made in the budget to encourage the
planting Of gardens and flowers, and
. committee Is working with the park
board to secure interest In the beauti-
fication Of the city.
I'VE are fortunate In having as

you can predict an enlargement In

I'VE are in hopes OF devising ways

Forecasts Prosperity.
"T!le adoption Of the major and
minor activities does not mean that
the association will confine itself
alone to these lines Of activity. A
large number Of the suggestions made
In the members conferences will be
referred to the proper committees,
and every effort made to accomplish
the things proposed.
AT this season of the year It is
customary to make forecasts for the
coming year. This practice has proved
Its usefulness. In this connection I
might say that, in looking forward
from q business outlook, constructive
measures will be shaped to restore
conditions in the agricultural areas,

prosperity Of our territory is assured,
