THE ANNUAL
ELECTION
Officers Were
Elected and Much Business Transacted.
A Large Attendance was Present.
|
The
announcement that the election of League officers
would take place on Friday evening, April 22nd
brought out a record attendance.
Polls were open
from
6:30
to
8:00
and after
ascertaining that dues were paid Secretary Clapp
produced the official ballot for the occasion. The
vote for president and secretary was fairly solid
for returning the old incumbents, but beyond this
the slate seemed to be largely wanting. A large
variety of names were nominated, showing that
Collegeport Industrial League has plenty of men who
are judge capable to fill the offices.
After the tellers
had counted the result and the smoke of battle had
cleared away somewhat, the result was read as
follows; President, H. N. Sholl, Vice-president, W.
H. Travis; Secretary, H. A. Clapp; Treasurer, E.
S.
Darling; Fifth Director, L. E. Liggett.
President Sholl
then called the meeting to order for the transaction
of regular business, when various committees
reported. E. C. Van Ness reported on fire
extinguishers, recommending the Babcock of various
sizes. The committee on Club house reported
variously, two plans being submitted, neither of
which were adopted, the committee being given more
time. Some discussion arose as to the location, the
bay front, the city park and a central business
location all having devotees.
The committee on
the incorporation of the town reported no progress,
having completed the duties required of them at the
last meeting. This committee was discharged and a
committee consisting of Messrs. Clapp, Darling and
Gaumer was appointed to get out the petition and
proceed with the election.
