The directors of the Norwich Cham- ber of Commerce at their meeting on Friday evening voted to use every ef- fort and energy this vear toward the of war service work and * ment of War Service Work and Development of Thames - vmé_m&w&,&mqw Yy Em— ber on March -22na, gmmodnemmatmmm marine ver Valley. The meeting was one of the most in yet held, the majority of the directors being pres- ent. One of the several important matters to come before the meeting was ,the quarterly report of the sec- Mg retary, Herbert R. Branche, and the |S%01@ report was accepted. saye The fundamental basis of all Cham- ters of Commerce work is service, and By such a standard nmiust it be meds- uréd. At the commencement of ;the second year your chamber faces the future with the consciousness of baving striven to give to Norwich the | o | past year a civic organizatioh where an open forum for expression of thoughts on all matters of public and civie importance might find expression and committees appointed to carry for- ward the ideas so expressed to a prac- tical and ultimate conclysion for the betterment of Norwich. It is a matter of common knowledge that Chambers of Commerce are wholly devoid of power, have absolutely no authority whatever and have no command over anybody. ‘With the experience taught us the first year of the chambel's existence it was found necessary to inaugurate 2 new method of financing the associa- tion on a plan in keeping with the service the chamber 'was being called upon to furnish. A committse com- posed of three members of the Man- ufacturers’ Bureau are now e&ngaged in working out a plan that when plac- ed in operation will (with the support we hope will be forthcoming from the Mercantile Bureau, tobether with in- dividual memberships) provide a fund ample for our present needs. It is the univeréal opinfon of Chambers of Commerce tbroughout New Ensland that we are selling.our services too cheaply. Secretary McKibben of the Boston Chamber of Commerce stated reecntly before ameeting of the Com- mercial and Civic Executives of New England that all dues should be uni- form. saying that a man who would pay five or six dollars for one or two dinners thinks but little of & member- # | ship in a Chamber of Commerce that can be had for a similar amount. In making this quarterly report vour secretary feels it figting to first bring to your attention ~the numerical strength: 7 Total membership 525, paid np mem- bers 234, paid to July 1, 4, paid to No- vember 1st, 1, in federal service 8. owing 1917 and 1918 dues 2, owing 1918 dues 276, Sixteen new members (ificluding eight applicatiory’ to be voted upon this evening) have been secured this quarter, 2 Activities of the Chamber.
