8ION HELD LAST NIGHT.
There was a big and busy session of
the Astoria Chamber of Commerce at
the Bond street hall last evening, Pres
ident J. W. Welch presiding and Sec
retary Frank Clark caring for the re
cords. About fifty people were In at
tendance and there was a very definite
lot of Interest manifested in the busi
ness of the evening.
Vice President Frank L. Parker ten
dered his resignation as one step to j
ward the reorganization of the cham-1
ber, and Chairman J. E. Gratke, of the
Committee on Manufacturers and In
dustries followed with his in the same
behalf.
Messrs: F. 3. Taylor, J. Q. A. Bowl
bjr and X W. Welch, the committee
heretofore charged with the formula
tion of a plan for the handling of. the
business and revenues of the Chamber,
submitted the following resolution, and
It was adopted unanimously:
"RESOLVED, that there be added to
the committees of this chamber, a com
mittee, consisting of nine (9) members,
which shall be known as the "Com
mittee of Promotion." The duties of
said committee shall be to employ, with
the approval of the chamber, a man
ager, to take charge of and manage,
with the advice of the Committee, ths
department of advertising and promo
tion of the chamber. Said committee
shall have charge and disposal of all
funds denated and subscribed for ad
vertising and promotion purposes, out
of which shall be paid the salary of the
manager, and the expenses Incurred
by them in advertising and promoting
the resources of the country. Said
committee shall be appointed by the
president, and shall hold office until
their successors shall be chosen, in
the same manner that other commit
tees are appointed.
They shall report to the chamber j
once a month, as to the work done by
them, and the state of their finances." j
To meet this provision of a com !
mlttee on Promotion, the following '
gentlemen were promptly named to
serve in that interest: G. W. Sanborn,
Dr. T. L. Ball, F. L. Parker, Albert
Dunbar, G. C. Fulton, Herman Wise,
F. J. Carney, J. T. Ross and W. E.
Schlmpff.
The better part of the evening was
given over to an elaborate and edify
ing discussion of the proposed re-or-ganlzatlon
cf the Chamber of Com
merce, and it draw out the best ex-
j presslon of those gathered there on
the important Issue, but It was decided
to wait until the new manager had
i been selected and appointed by the
i Commutes on Promotion and such
preliminary steps taken as were nec
essary to a healthy and hearty Idea of
what was wanted and what reorgani
sation really meant for the chamber.
It was replete with friendly and eager
sentiments for the good of the city
and the high purposes of the Chamber
and did no end of good in clearing the
atmosphere of much conjecture and
many dubious Ideas.
L. E. Selig Is still the collector of
the chamber and it is desired that all
who have not yet been approached In
the matter of the subscriptions to the
Chamber fund, will recognUe him in
stantly when be appears on the scene
and make the contributions ffhand
and ample.
Adjournment was then taken until
the meeting in course, on Monday
even March 18th.
