Chamber Promises Help to Decorate City Streets
Beckley merchants are urged to join a Christmas lighting effort. The Chamber of Commerce voted to donate 100 dollars if merchants contribute 400 by December 1. Plans include a November 27 pageant, but attendance has been poor. Also, a resolution to block a 10 cent rail ton rate increase was adopted, citing coal industry hardship. A stop at Prince on Chesapeake and Ohio lines was suggested, and a jail funding commendation was approved. A Main Street modernization committee was appointed per federal housing request.
