STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items fiathered Here And
There From All Sections Of
The State
Atlanta. —Although a tentative plan
for the expenditure of $50,000 during
the first year for the “seling of Geor
gia” to industrial interests of the east
and north was adopted, the Georgia
industrial bueau in all probability will
spend double this amount in the first
year of its activity. This was reveal
ed at a meeting of the board of di
rectors held recently in the Ansley
hotel, at which time a permanent or
ganization was perfected, constitution
and by-laws adopted and officers
named for the coming term, Paul
Brown, of Albany was named first
president of the organization, with Hal
M. Streyer, of Macon, vice president.
P. S. Arkwright, of Atlanta, was elect
ed chairman of the executive commit
tee.
The meeting followed the meeting
held in Macon several weeks ago when
Georgia’s newest organization was
born. At the meeting in Macon the
name “Georgians, Incorporated,” was
changed to the present name, “Georgia
Industrial Bureau,” as embodying more
the nature of the work that the bu
reau will undertake, that is, bringing
new industries to the state.
The question of financing the body
will be decided at an early meeting
of the executive committee and the
president and vice president. Funds to
carry on the work of the organiza
tion will be secured by subscriptions
from the industries and corporations
already in the state.
The next move of the Georgia Indus
trial Bureau will be the naming of
an executive secretary, who will also
act as a managing director. This
man, whose work will be of the most
important nature, will be elected by
the association in the very near fu
ture. W. W. Beck, of Atlanta, was
named as temporary secretary, until
such time as the organization can
name a permanent secretary.
The Georgia Industrial Bureau will
co-operate with the heads of the vari
ous Chambers of Commerce in the
state, and with those officials of rail
roads whose work is to interest heads
of new industries seeking locations in
the state, so that a spirit of harmony
may be maintained, the directors
stated at the meeting.
Other officers elected are Claude
Normand, Washington; C. B. Lewis,
Macon; F. F. Farrar, Dalton, and C.
A. Wickersham, Atlanta, on the execu
tive committee; P. E. Glenn, Atlanta;
W. B. Baker, Atlanta, and J. B. Key,
Columbus, board of directors.

the local club. Is carried out. Fur
ther, Mr. Langley has set on foot a
movement to combine into one gen
eral state federation all of the local
clubs of the state, to have headquar
ters in Atlanta. Through such a state
organization, Mr. Langley points out,
Democratic leaders in the state can
keep in touch with what iB being done
lx? all sections of the state, and In case
some section fails to come through
with its quota for the national rund,
workers can be sent from the central
body to assist in the work in that
particular section.
