MURRIN. at TkkCttf reus Away Oaaeealljr lavlted Makla at the lelaad'a Caattai The new commercial club is com- in- The auxiliary to commercial, in dustrial, social and general advance ment in Bo- k Island ia to be formed. The project which has from time to time been agitated by The Abocs. and which was urged with renewed emphasis Saturday night, ha been taken hold of by representative citi zens, ana a meeting has been called at the Harper for Wednesday even ing of this week to discuss the mat. ter and adopt the preliminary pro. ceedinge. Charles McUagb and A. C. Dart had the matter under con sideration following the article ap pearing in Saturday night 'a Abocs, and they determined to constitute themselves a committee of two to take the initiative. Notices were sent ont today for a meeting at the Harper Wednesday evening, and from the business like way the un dertaking has been tackled, its suc cess ts assured. What la Proposed. It is proposed first to form a com mercial association of business men. whose object is the city's increased development and advancement. It is tne aim. too. to make the social feature one of the most attractive. To this end, Mr. Dart has su crested that instead of going into rooms in a business block, the club should lease or purchase a building or house near the business center and equip 11 10 suit itself, navine not only the advantages of a well appointed meet ing place, but reading rooms, bath rooms, billiard and card rooms, a buffet and such general acoommoda- tions as would make it inviting to an classes 01 people at all times. This plan is a little elaborate, bat to accomplish anvthing at all there must be a purpose to aim him it is unnecessary to reiterate the importance and necessity of an or ganization of this sort to Bock Island. There must be plans de vised and worked out for the city's continued advancement. A body of onsiness men working as an auxti iary to the city council can c3om- plish much, as has been shown in the past. Let the new commeroial clnb be formed, and then, success to its efforts. MRS.
