community. The election of any seven
of the sixteen candidates would have
placed strung men at the helm of the
Chamber.
T
COMMUN
Ttie community chest proportion
waa defeated in the Chamber uf Com
merce referendum by is winx. AI
tliuuih there were 201 memlKra, who
voiwl at the final election fur di
rectors of the Chamber uf Commerce,
not all of them voted on the refer
endum uf the community che.n. There
were 180 votes canvassed on the ref
erendum, which made a vote of ft I
necessary for a decision. Of the
total 81 were cast in favor of the
.istiiblishment of a community chest,
whereas 99 voted in opposition to
nme.
A great denl of satiafaction is being
expressed because of the decisive vote
i.n the question, as no room is now
left for an amument to attain bring
up Ihe same for discussion. Had the
community chest been adopted by a
narrow margin, there would have
kn erv doubt of in aucce-sj
wlih cmjaraively atione sentiment
against it.
The opposition have now offerr.4
110.1 solution for organization to ar
iur financial support In the commu
nity. A committee from the Cham
ber of Commerce should Investigate
every request mado for funds. It
should approve or disapprove, the re
quest. J'ublle announcement should
be made of the committee's action,
und in case of an approval, then such
organization should ho permitted to
nollrlt funds through the columns of
the newspaper, but not by means of
u campaign. or drive us was common
during the war period.
' The opposition to the community
rhest was to a great extent due to a
disfavor of ortranlzed drives because
of the coercion and pressure used to
force people,, to donate, to causes in
which their sympathies were nut en
tirely in favor.
