Each year we have been told that the chamber will become self supporting. There is no communication between one group and the incoming officers, Mer. John Rankin said, He urged the present officers to meet with the new officers next year and explain the council's feelings, Rial promised the council to provide alist of paid up members and a proposed budget for the chamber at the July 12 meeting, "Each month after I'll bring ina list of new members who have -joined the chamber and paid their dues," he added, The vote to restore the cut funds and give the chamber $1,500 was unanimous, In one other matter discussed the council encouraged Martin W.
