Lawshe's report said: "The
aim should be to secure first
the best men to head the com
mittees, and, second, to use
and develop as much leader
ship as possible from the mem
bership itself -
Another extreme change will
be two meetings of the board
of directors a month. Instead
of one, at least for a time, and
one of these will be break
fast meeting. Lawshe criti
cized slack attendance at board
meetings and questioned
whether enough meetings were
held, observing that the meet
ings were skipped in four
months this year,
rratt Critical
The Lawshe report drew ad
verse as well as favorable
comment from Russel Pratt,
retiring president of the cham
ber who presided at the first
part of the meeting.
He agreed with Lawshe sug
gestions for revamping of the
by-laws, and the board author
ized President Hammond to ap
point a revision committee.
Pratt wasn't favorably im
pressed with Lawshe's com
ment on chamber finances. He
said:
"It seems to me that the re-
of money being raised and spent
for the use of the Industrial
Council, which Is definitely a
part of the Chamber of Com
merce, and which, when added
to the present Income of the
chamber, would certainly raise
the per capita expenditure high
above the averages set forth in
the survey. It la therefore my
opinion that the statements re
lating to the present size of
the staff and the present sal
ary expenditure are not at all
In keeping with the present
financial problem of the cham
ber." Pratt cited certain figures
mentioned by Lawshe which,
he said, "have no relation to
our budget" He added:
"The figure of (24,565 as
contained in the October 31
financial statement of the
Chamber of Commerce repre
sents the true Chamber of
Commerce income that can be
considered in relation to the
budget By referring to the Oc
tober financial report you can
readily see that the chamber
is rapidly going behind and
that something should be done
to inunedistcly correct the sit
uation."
For Drastic Cat
In a separate list of recom
mendations, Pratt suggested
that the staff, now consisting
of a manager, assistant manag
er, and two women, be reduced
for the time being to the man-
port in total has failed to take
into consideration the amount ager and one receptionist-book
keeper.
Lawshe recommended t year
ly audit Pratt mentioned au
dits that have been made, and
the board authorized President
Hammond to appoint a com
mittee to decide what type of
audit the chamber should have.
"One of the big problems of
the chamber," comments Pratt,
"has been to properly allocate
duties and responsibilities and
it seems that there Is a notable
lack of material relating to this
subject in the survey . . .
"Statistics which have been
gathered in relation to the
chamber income and member
ship and class of membership
are important They do not,
however, coincide with the ac
tual income figures . . ."
"Suggestions for the success
ful operation of the chamber
are very general in nature,"
Pratt declares, "and I feel that
they should be much more spe
cific Courthouse Quarters Possible
In general the Lawshe re
port was favorably impressed
with the chamber quarters.
Should the County Court offer
the chamber quarters in the
new Courthouse, and the board
feel disposed to accept, he said
the chamber would be follow
ing "a sizeable number of
chambers, especially in cities of
less than 23,000 population."
However, he cautioned that It
should "make sure that the ac
ceptance of free rent . . . would
not deter It from taking a po
sition on a county Issue which
might not coincide with the
views of the county commis
sioners. Relating to the chamber's
method of electing directors
Lawshe said that in many ways
it was "not good." Ha said no
record is kept of who votes or
whether he is entitled to do so.
He rapped bloc voting whereby
a firm or person paying (100
membership fee is entitled to
four votes. He suggests instead
a nominating committee of five,
not over iurte froa Hi board
and the others from the mem
bership at large. The committee
would bring in a list of twice
the number to be elected, hav
ing consulted each to see If he
would serve. But any 23 mem
bers could make additional no
minations by petition. Polls
would be open a week after
mailing ballots and voting could
be by mall or In person, but a
record would be kept of the
voters. Directors at large would
serve three-year terms, those
from districts or ex-officio
members one year.
Committees Too Smaii
The report finds that the
committees are not big enough
and that the staff does not have
an adequate record of commit
tee meetings held. It should be
the duty of the staff to provide
facts and ideas for the commit
tees, says the report. The pres
ent size of the staff is found
normal. , - ; .
Lawshe terms the Monday
luncheon meetings "splendid
affairs," but thinks more time
should be given to "sell" the
chamber. He terms the billing
and collection of accounts as
"good collection procedure."
But he criticizes the dues sche
dule as "not clear," and finds
thst pledges for (10 and (20
are accepted, though not pro
vided for In the by-laws. The
report sets up a proposed sche
dule that does not Increase the
existing one.
Salaries Keasonakle '
Salaries in the chamber are
found' "not high in comparison
with others in fact are very
reasonable. So the only saving
that could be made hera would
be to decrease the size of the
staff or cut salaries and I would
not recommend either one at
this time."
One suggested way to save
money is to reduce guest tickets
at the weekly luncheons, which
last year cost the chamber $825.
