Opposition also Is made to the levy ing of assessments on various clubs In Southwestern Washington, it being as serted that the assessments were too high. A resolution was adopted declaring It to be the sense of the chamber that the assessment levied against Aber deen is out of proportion to the ben efits received, and that the chamber will not affiliate further with the as sociation unless an adjustment can be had. The chamber also asks for a de tailed financial statement covering the entire time since the organization of the association.

Full credit was given the association for the work It had done and for the publicity attained, but It was argued that the entire plan of as sessment was faulty. While the action of the chamber is definite. It is not likely that Aberdeen will be absent from the association, but that a readjustment will be made.
