Executive Committee
Plans Years Program

At meeting OF the executive COM
mittee of the vashon Island Com
mercial Club held Tuesday evening at
Watseka Lodge, President Chas. Van
Olinda presided for the first time in
his new office. His message, outlining
the objective for the coming year
pointed out the fallacy Of planning
without corporation, pointing out
that before the club could begin to
function effectively there must be
abnegation Of particular community,
thinking rather in the terms Of the
necessity of the entire Island.

Among the many matters coming up
for consideration during the year was
the all-important subject of Island
roads. The main objective this year
is the completion Of the new South
End road from Shawnee to Tallequah,
1t was announced that the state
would advertise for bids before the
first of the year. The $4,000 avail
able on this road from the county
must be used before the first of the
year or it will revert back into the
county funds, unless re-appropriated
Spent in the preliminary work that
will be necessary before actual con-
struction begins this money would
furnish labor to a considerable num-
Der Of Island men.
Road supervisor Rhulen gave a very
clear outline of the needs and provis-
ions for new construction on the Is
land. He also stated that the new
budget provided for the removal of a
number Of old docks now presenting
a most unsightly appearance. Re-
consideration in the matter of clos
ing the Quartermaster dock was re-
quested of the commissioners, at the
request of AUDITING property holders.
