Eighty professional nnd business
men of North Platte gathered in tho
new banquet room of tho Hotel Pal
aco last night and enjoyed a four
course dinner prqpared and served
by tho hotel management. At tho
short business meeting which was
held following tho dinner President
Mooney presided. Tho roport of Ira
li. Bare, secretary of tho Chamber, was
tho principal topic of tho program.
It has been carefully proparofl and was
read so that all could understand. It
was warmly applauded. Short talks
were made by John B. Edwards, J.
Q. Wilcox and Harry Dixon, after
which subscriptions were taken for
tho 1923 budget and .the meeting ad
journed. Tho voting for four now
directors took place during tho din
ner and tho result was announced
during tho business meeting. L. B.
Dick, Henry Hansen, W. H. McDonald
and 0. H. Thoelecko were elected.
Tho retiring members of tho board
of directors were W. B. Starr, W. J.
O'Connor, Carl Simon and S. M. Sou
dor. North Platte owes these men a
debt for tho service they havo so will
ingly given. If tho follows who crltl-
ciso the Chamber of Commerce were
to givo ono-tenth as much timo and
effort to the public good as these men
have given during tho past year,
North Platte would not need a Cham
ber of Commerce at all. Everything
would be dono before they could get
to it.
