The Chamber has had an outstanding year due to the active and effective work of our committees and yours in particular, The work of your committee in organizing the campaign for the successful passing of the Charter Amendment which pro- vided funds for the indigent care was a milestone in the history of Galveston. It was outstanding and will be long remembered by our citizens. We are nearing the time to prepare our Annual Report to our members on the activities and accomplishments of the Chamber for the past year. It will be appreciated if you will let me have your committee report on or before November 27th. Thank you again and kind personal regards. Sincere.y yours, President John H. McCray:vrh
