vived as follows:
Temple. Tex.. April 11. 1907.
To the President and Directors.
Temple Commercial Club.
Gentlemen: I herewith hand you
uiy report as secretary of the Tem-
ple Commercial Club -for the past
year.
This club was formallv organized
on April 10th t»#7. On July 15th.
1M7. you complied with the purpose
of the organisation of the dub In so
far as the election of a salaried sec-
retary was concerned, but because of
private business demanding his atten-
tion he resigned this position on
November 15th. 1J07. You deemed
it wise not to elect another salaried
secretary at that time because of the
unfortunate financial conditions then
prevailing throughout the country,
fince business has revived, however.
1 would earnestly recomemnd that the
tKkition of salaried secretary again
be ertafed and that a man trained in
the work be secured. The president
jof the Commercial Secretary's Asso-
ciation will be glad to co-operate with
you to that end. We should ever
(keep in mind that the Commercial
Club of Kansas City made Kansas
City and the same can be said of
Temple within a few years if OXE
THIXG IS DOXE and that one thing
is to provide ample money* for the
operation of the Club. Our greatest
mistake during the past year was to
attempt to carry on the work of the
Club with less than 1106 being paid
In per month by sustaining members.
For this purpose you should have not
less than p#r month and $400
would go much furtier towards In-
suring the success of the organisa-
tion. 1 say above, that the one desi-
deratum Is SUFFICIENT Fl-NDS TO
CARRY OX THE WORK because It
has already been demonstrate^ that
there are plenty of live patriotic citl-
ttus here who will co-operate In
building a Greater Temple. The lack
of funds was painfully evident during 1
the past year. Upon numerous oc-'
casions your president and secretary
would outline a campaign for the up-
building of the city only to find that
Inadequate funds necessitated the
abandonment of the project
Perhaps the greatest work you
have accomplished during the past
year was to co-operate with the press
of Temple in persuading the people
to vote for the bond issue for the pur
chase of the water works plant and to
cement the friendly relations exist
present purposes, It Is to be told.
I the fund* from the sate are to
be equally divided between the Far
t Union and the Club. This may,
therefore, be considered la the nature
of aa Investment aad a* the land is

vicinity. No effort was spared In
presenting our claims and advan-
tage* aad numerous conference* were
had with the officials of the road. So
tar aa known the road has not yet ar-
rived at a decision la this matter and
It may be that Temple may yet se-
cure the division terminal.
A district meeting of the farmers
was held here during the year, the
club acting as hoot. The cost for a
hall la which to met. entertainment,
etc., was <8.29
Invitations were extended by your
president to several State organisa-
tions to met this year in Temple and
it ia understood that several of the
organisations have the matter under
consideration. Cities and towns al-
waya regard the securing of State
meetings as an advertisement.
One of the principal matters you
have considered during the year and
which should have borne better fruit,
was the erection of an auditorium
In Temple. That this is a prime ne-
cessity has plainly been Indicated
during the recent months by the re-
ligious revival conducted by Rev.
Dr. Catea. joint political debates,
Chautauqua, etc. Xow that Temple
has found it Imperative to build a
new high school in the near future.
It may be that through co-operative
efforts an auditorium may be realized
in that direction without the outlay
of any great amount of money.
During the past summer you en-
couraged a chautsuqua. which was
most successfully conducted by a local
chautauqua association
At your various metings you have
considered the following maters, in
addition to the above: The building
of an Interutban railway to Waco and
Marlin: the organization and erection
here of a pickle and vinegar factory
and also a denatured alcohol fac-
tory; the promotion of a railroad to
Salado: the promotion of railroad to
Gatesville, Hamilton and Thurber;
the erection of a cotton factory, also
a box factory: and the holding of a
State encampment at Midway. Xu-
merous other matters of minor Im-
portance were also deliberated upon.
During the year your secretary has
written something over 1990 letters
bearing upon the above and other
matters, in addition to the matling
out of a large number of circular let-
ters.
The club was incorporated during
the year at an expense of $51.
Very truly yours.

Perhaps the next most important
was the agitation for better sidewalks
In the city. It Is understood that
Temple has during the past year In-
creased its cement sidewalks by sev-
eral miles. In this conectton there
should be mentioned the large cor-!
respondence which one of your com-
mittees has conducted, loking to-1
wards securing the best and early j
paving for Temple's streets. Captain
George Willcox has been especially
prominent In this work and Its seems
that the efforts thus far put forth
bid fair to bear early fruit.
There has been pactlcally no pub-
licity given to the fact that during
the past year your president has been
Instrumental in securing several cut-
off* in dirt roads leading to Temple
from various communities in thla

used in furthering this work.
During the past year the directory
entered Into an agreement with the
Farmers' Union of Bell County to
