Organization Wbrk Nearly Completed Chamber Of Commerce Practical certainty that an organizational meeting for the new Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce would be held early in February was expressed by members of the steering com- mittee this week. At a meeting of business men held last October a special com- mittee was named and was inâ€" structed to proceed with ne- cessary organizational work. dis- cuSSing membership qualifica- tions. dues. by-laws and related matters. The committee has held numerous meetings and it was said this week that it was reach- ing the end of its task. Next step is likely to be an open general meeting. to which all business men and women in the town will be invited. Rep- resentatives of all classes of ac- tivity. including industrial. corn- mercial. retail and professional arc expected to be present. .-\t that meeting. if the recommen- dations of the steering commit- tcc are accepted. officers and directors will be named and the chamber will start functioning as an established organization. Members of the steering com- mittee said this week that the Chamber of Commerce uill in- clude business men and in all parts of the town. It was not expected that there would be any conflict of interest with exâ€" isting organizations of retailers. Those. it was pointed out. exist- ed to handle specific regional problems whereas the Chamber would deal with mailers affect- ing business in all categories ,throughout the two. .get the names of parents in or- der to take the necessary action. Solicitor Consulted Determined to continue its ef- forts to stamp out vandalism in connection with taxpayers‘ prop- erty, the school board consulted its solicitor. asking what steps ‘could be taken. Advice was to bring the police before the juv- enile and family court in order to force information as to names of parents. Mr. Turton told the school board that the police then agreed to lay charges on the basis of information over his signature. These summonses were issued November 9th and Plans Meet In setting up the steering committee. it was pointed out. particular attention had been paid to ensuring full represen- tation of all parts of the munic- ipality. It was fully expected that the same policy would be followed in naming the direct- orate of the Chamber itself. Membership. it was said. would be open to all those cnâ€" gaged in industry. businesses or professions within the actual limits of the town. A special class of membership would pos- sibly be set up for those living in Richmond Hill but doing bus- incss elsewhere. The date of 'hc open meeting would be decided as >OOH as possible, it was said. and would be advertised by press and ra- .dio.
