Harry Knight stated that pre: ent procedure for admitting new members in the club was inade-; quate and tended to retard growth of the club by becoming’ too exclusive. Clem Price, Curry; Harris, Bob Spottswood all spoke! against Knight's statements and of allowing the board of direc- tors to approve or disapprove applicants was the correct thing 4 to do. Captain Hamilton who than any other member has done the most for able funds by aiding in the im-; provement of the course, spoke on the theme that the club should work out its own problems, that here permanently in its present strength, and wanted to know] what future plans were being, considered by the club, He spoke in favor of the Golf Club and the Country Club getting to- gether and becoming one. Bob Spottswood spoke earnest- ly on consolidation of the two, clubs and stated that it would! take $10,000 to place the now- defunct Country Club back into. operation.
