SAYS, URGING) £°72"0"*_ Application COOPERATION The directors of the Key West Chamber of Commerce, at a special meeting held yesterday, unanimously approved the idea of the Key West Hotel Associa- tion to place signboards adver- tising Key West on the highways of Florida. The approval is subject, how-| ever, a C. of C. news release} seid, to a provision of the spon- sers of this project under which they would obtain all necessary funds for the erection and up- keep of the signs, so that the} latter will continue to be a fa-! vorable advertising medium, An adequate performance bond, the chamber said, should also be re-| quired of the contractor for erec- tion and upkeep. The directors recommended thet the sponsors publish a signed notice of their plans, in- eluding cost of signs, cost of up- keep, manner of obtaining sites, cost of sites, manner of guaran- teeing upkeep and source of revenue. In approving this civic project the directors wished to state that the Key West Chamber of Com- merce will not be legally respon- sible for any obligations or lia- bilities of this project, although the project is heartily recom- as a worthwhile civic project, The directors further decided that inasmuch as the chamber is presently engaged in raising money for an ambitious program of its own, and for which pro- gram a budget has been made, it cannot engage in the solicitation of funds for. other purposes un- il Ws original drive is completed. Members, however, were asked te assist and cooperate in the project individually. } Chest To Canvass, For Advance Gifts Plans to secure advance con- ttibutions to the Community Chest will be made at a meeting of the Advanced Gifts Commit- tee of the Chest Monday at 4:30 p. m.,, in the City Hall.
