CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN 71;
BULLOCK IS ELECTED ASSISTANT
Wolf Bounty To Be
Stopped Saturday
This county's bounty on
wolves will be cut off effective
Saturday afternoon at five
thirty. The order was issued by
the commissioners' court. The
bounty was established the first
part of November. The court
decided that most of those re-
ceiving the bounty of $1.50
were already employed by
ranchmen for that purpose and
that they were thus receiving
pay twice.
Judge Homer T. Bouldin did
not know whether the court
would undertake any action on
the wo'ves at present. He said
that they were waiting to see
what the recently formed county
wolf association accomplished.
County Judge Homer T. Tlouldln
w'ill head the Albany Chamber of
Commerce during the next fifteen
months. He was elected president
at the l,unrheon club Tuesday noon
| after he had been presented to the
1 group by the nominating commit-
1 tee. Judge Rouldin has been active
in the affairs of the body for sev-
eral years and has worked tirelessly
toward securing highway 191 and
other projects for Albany and this
county.
Bullock Vic* President
Serving with Judge Rouldin is
W. H. Mullock in the capacity of
vice-president. He also has been
active in the Chamber's work dur-
ing the time he has been in busi-
j ness here. Directors elected were:
