^C. of C. Coffers in Good Shape Revenues Exceed Expenses Since June 1 by $4,715, Report Shows. Improvement In the financial con flllion of the Omaha Chamber of Com merce la shown by a statement of finances for the first three months of Its present fiscal year, which began In June. The statement shows that t revenues during this period have ex Ioeeded expenses by $4,715, while dur lug the same period n year ago ex penses exceeded the revenue by $9.4:11. "This condition 1s encouraging," said Commissioner Powell, "as is the fact that, although we have reduced the budget for 1924-25, we are run ning more than 2 per cent below the reduced budget." Members of the chamber declare that although expenses have been cut, activity has been Increased, and they cite as an example the faet that more large conventions are scheduled to be held in Omaiia in 1925 than ever be fore. They also point out the work which the chamber is doing in con nection with road improvement throughout the state. "But more revenue is necessary to lake care of all the things henefirial to the city which are brought to our attention each day," said Powell ''Now that it has been shown that the chamber can operate economically, the subscriptions are growing and r~' they should continue to increase. No money will be wasted.” A revenue committee has just been formed, headed by Guy Ktddoo, and this committee is expected to enable the chamber to Increase its activities rapidly. U. P.
