Recommendation that the Cham- | ber of Commerce Information Booth | be returned from the Gastineau Hotel lobby to its original station on the dock, was made. by Miss Caroline Todd, attendant of the booth, in a statement read to the Chamber meeting by Secretary Shattuck. In her report, Miss Todd show- led that while the Alaska Steam- ship Company reports a.larger number of tourists this year than ever before, the number of names on the Chamber of Commerce in- formation booth register is much less than last year, indicating, said the report, that the dock location was more advisable. It was recom- Mended that action be taken to accomplish this move before the beginning of next year's tourist sea- son. Miss ‘ioda’s report, which gave the number of registrants as 304, showed California and Arizona to have contributed the greatest num- ber of registrants, the former hav- ing 72, the latter 63.
