WORLAND AGAIN CHOSEN COMMERCIAL CLUB PRESIDENT.

Board of Directors Met Thursday and Appointed Committee to Recoinmend Procedure.

D. M. Worland was elected president of the Commercial Club by the board tof directors in the club rooms Thursday afternoon. C. C Warner waa elected vice-president and C. G. Spitler was elected secretary-treasurer. The latter office is the only salaried one and the salary was reduced from sls to $8.33 1-3 per month. It was decided to put the present funds of the club, amounting to about $3,000 on interest, loaning it to the banks at 3 per cent. A committee of five was appointed to make a recommendation at a meeting of all lot buyers to be held next Wednesday evening as to the best procedure for the future.' The committee is considering the ' matter largely along the line of the three propositions heretofore mentioned in The Republican. There seems to be a great majority in favor of reducing the price of the lots to SIO,O and refunding all that has been paid in excess of that amount. It is probable that the meeting to be held next Wednesday will determine pbsitively on this matter. The rooms over Roth Bros.' store will be abandoned shortly, as they have not proven popular with members. It should be understood that the expense of these rooms came* from the members of the commercial club Who paid dues for that purpose and that the fund from the sale of lots has not been touched. All who made contracts for lots should make an effort to attend the meeting to be held Wednesday night, Jan. 11th.
