FINE MEETING HELD IN WHICH PRESIDENT AND TWO VICE PRESIDENTS GIVEN AUTHORITY TO NAME SECRETARY
In a largely attended meeting of the Board of Directors last night, Mr. P. G. Fitzgibbons was elected president of the Crisp County Board of Trade.
Mr. Fred Harder was elected one of the vice presidents, Mr. F. L. Bartholomew being the other vice president.
The president and two vice presidents were authorized as a committee to negotiate for a secretary for the coming year, Mr. Greer's contract having ended on June 22.
At its general meeting recently, the Board of Trade elected fifteen additional directors, and most of these with many of the old members were present and the general sentiment of the meeting was enthusiastic and harmonious.
The secretary made his annual financial report, showing that the board has cost $5,642.19 for the entire year and that the Board was free of debt except to the secretary.
It was shown that the Board of Trade had done many things for Crisp county, Cordele and the surrounding territory during the past year, had many other things under development that would eventually be worked out and that the Board of Trade was absolutely essential for the progress of the community in future. One enterprise alone had more than paid the cost of the Board for many years to come. That enterprise is paying out thirty thousand dollars a month, $360,000 a year and in a period of ten years, at the present rate would pay out in and around Cordele $3,600,000. If the Board had done nothing else but this, it is considered it was well worth all it cost for some years.
