Reduce Monthly Fees and Place
the Association On a Perma
nent Basis.
1 _______
There was a large attendance at
the regular monthly meeting and
semi-annual election of officers of the
Valdez Commercial Association,
which was held last evening in t-e
rooms of the association.
The question of continuing the
work of the association came up for
consideration and it was the concen
sus of opinion that this should be
done. It was believed that by plac
ing the dues at two dollars per month
the membership could be increased
about fifteen members, which would
make a total membership of sixty.
This plan was adopted and the sec
retary was instructed to notify all the
members of *he change.
The meeting then proceeded to
the election of a board of trustees
for the ensuing six months and the
following were elected: C. E. Bun
nell, Edwin Eckern, W. M. Finical,
C. H. Kraemer, J. C. Martin, B. F.
Millard and \V. M. Wilson.
