The secretary would not only supervise the work, keep track of prospects, but would also keep the people of the town working In res-cipentlon. Across the line the old methods ha¢ beep scrapped and commercial organi- zations were adopting the bureau form of chamber of commerce work. There would be a bureau for each depart- ment of the work.

Mr. Cameron said he had had no part In the wort that hal been done pet far In ronnecliun with this movement, but he put himself at the command of the committee with pleasure, and he thought the rest of the community owed a vote of thanks to those who had Inaugurated the movement.
