CLUB UUILINto
PLANS FOR WORK
OF
Geo. W. Pennington Chosen to
Represent Commercial Body On
Public Welfare Board.
At a meeting of the Nenana Com
mercial club, held on Sunday, de
finite action was taken with regard
to the formation of a board of pub
lic works and charities, the member
ship of which is to be composed of
representatives of the various local
organizations, fraternal, labor, social
and commercial. Geo. W. Penning
ton, president of the Commercial
club, was named as the club’s rep
resentative, and Secretary Joseph
was instructed to express, in writing,
the views of the club regarding the
functions of the proposed board.
This outline, which was drawn up
by Secretary Joseph and addressed
to Mr. Pennington, in the form of
a letter, explains the purpose of the
board fully and makes numerous
suggestions for the guidance of the
members, in perfecting their organi
zation and in the work that will be
undertaken. This letter is as follows:
In accordance with instructions at
the meeting of the Menana Commer
cial club last Sunday, a general out
line is given below of the desire
of this club in regard to the proposed
organization o fthe Board of Public
Works and Charities, to which board
you were then elected as our rep
resentative.
Of course, the final decision rests
with the board itself, and these in
structions represent no more than
our voice in the decision.
As to the name; we prefer that of
“The Board of Public Works and
Charities”, as opposed to that of
"The Board of Public Charities”
as many matters should properly be
handled by them that will not come
under the head of charity as an ex
ample, the recent Military ball, which
would have been taken care of by
the board had it then been organized.
The officers should consist of a
chairman, secretary and treasurer,
the two latter being held by separate
individuals, owing to the importance
of the affairs to be handled.
The duties and procedure of the
board should be outlined by a short
set of by-laws.
It is not expected that the board
shall be required to express approval
or disapproval of every matter that
might properly come under the head
of Public Works or Charities, ex
cept in a negative sense.
Any one, a member of the board
or not, should be permitted to ask
the approval of the board for any
project; and generally speaking, if
that approval is given, the board
should handle the matter, in order
that they themselves may select
proper persons in whose hands to
place it.
If they already have funds suffi
1' cient, those funds might be voted
| and the matter in question disposed
s of at once- If necessary to raise
; funds they should handle it them
selves. We would consider it to be
a very exceptional case where they
would be justified in stamping with
their approval, any matter not hand
j led directly by the board itself.
f Very much will depend on the
board itself, as to the development
j of its activities. Doubtless many
, projects will come forward handled
by private persons. If these pro
jects do not have the board’s ap
proval, it will be because the person
or persons handling have not asked
for their approval, or that their ap
proval has been refused by the
board.
The negative power of the board
in this seems perfectly apparent; and
I we would suggest that it should be
also a very extraordinary case where
the board might express disapproval
of any matter being handled by
private persons. The public should
be educated to understand just whyt
, is to be inferred by the absence of
r the board’s approval.
, Any necessary public work or
■ charity, should have the board’s ap
, proval, or be handled by the board;
. and contributions to matters not com
. ing under these heads should be dis
couraged, and not considered obli
gatory on any one.
I The secretary should be provided
. with a set of filing cards. All future

contributions should be listed there
on, to the credit of the individual
or firm. A minimum fee should be
decided on, to entitle individuals or
firms to a membership card, and th"
file cars should show their contri
butions to date, at all times.
Members should refuse to con
tribute to projects other than those
handled by the board, unless they
wish to do so eptilely on their own
responsibility.
And they should distinctly under
stand that money so contributed is
not to be credited to their public con
tributions through the hands of the
board.
Under the head of public works,
the society of the Red Cross will
handle its own affairs, which are al
ready sufficiently vouched for by
that organization; and which is of
too national a character to make it
necessary to have local control.
Contributions to the Red Cross,
through that organization, should be
encouraged by the board in every
way, by their moral support.
