FORMED'LLANO WON EASY VICTORY IN RAY CLICK WAS RELEASED WED- FIRST FOOTBALL GAME WITH AT MARBLE FALLS THIS WEEK LAST SCHEDULED GAME HERE NESDAY ON A $15,000.00 BOND LONDON IN LLANO TOMORROW Permanent organization of the Hill Country Chamber of Commerce wag completed at Marble Falls Monday night with nine counties -represented.

While this was termed the permanent organization, all officers and directors were elected to serve "three months, or until their successors are selected by members in each county." This move was taken after representatives of two counties stated that they had no authority to bind their particular county to any agreement until the and aims of the new organization were fully understood and acted upon. The usual constitution for a chatn- "ber of commerce with necessary bylaws were adopted at the meeting and C. J. Donley, president of the Freder- Chamber of Commerce, was unanimously' elected as president of the new organization. Charles MiTllger of Llano was elected first vice president and J.

J. Faubion of Marble Falls who has acted as temporary president for the new organization the last month was elected second vice president. Pellx G. Stehllng of Fredericksburg elected treasu-er and J. W.

Chapman of Austin, "daddy" of the organi- zation movement, was elected secretary-manager with no stipulated salary. He was, however, assured that expense of completing the organization would be paid by the counties and towns who would be sought as members, a number of these towns having already raised funds for this purpose. Tourist Travel Favored The purpose of the Hill Country Chamber of Commerce was outlined by Mr. Charnpan as an organized effort on the part of the Hill Country towns to secure more tourist travel tWtough this delightful section of the State, to secure a geological survey of the mineral resources of this wonderland and to co-operate and p-o- mote the civic, commercial, agricultural, educational and transportation facilities of this section. Boundary lines of the Hill Country and naming of counties which would be eligible to membership in the ganization were not set at this meeting, this matter being left to the directors to work out.

In the general discussion here Monday the counties of Bexar and Travis were mentioned as bordering on the HiU Country and would possibly be eligible to membership if they so desired. Four classes of membership wore designated at this meeting, as fol- General, sustaining, advertising, and preferred $100 per year each. The Jl per year membership will apply to Individuals as it was pointed out that a large number of citizens of Hill Country was desired to show the interest in the movement. The sustaining membership of $5 per year was for those and small Arms who could and would subscribe thle amount. The $10 advertising membership is for small firms and individuals who wish to participate in the advertising of the Hill Country as resort section in order to draw more tourist travel.

The preferred mem- karsbip of 1100 or more per year ia tinr corporations and the larger fir ma wtio will receive the greater share of benefit- from -the tourist travel and from the general advancement of the section.
