Chamber of Commerce Memos on banquet and air tour
The chamber schedules a July 7 banquet at the Holland hotel with State Highway Commissioner Fred Wemple as guest speaker and Dr. J B Speer as program chair. Proposals from engineering firms for lake studies are due this week as the board selects a firm. The group recalls Trans Texas Airways inaugural El Paso flight with officials and a reception, noting the trip proved air travel value. The office seeks ranch listings for hunting leases this fall to refer to interested parties.
