About thirty members were present at the meeting of the Sewickley
Valley Business Men'8 Association,
held on Tuesday evening, at which
time the annual election of officers
took place. There were a number
of candidates on the ticket for the
various offices. Despite the rivalry
a harmonious feeling prevailed,
every member placing the interests
of the Association foremost in his
choice.
Mr. George H. Hegner, the retiring president, who has proven
himself a tireless worker for the
good of the Association, will be succeeded by Mr. William G. Murray,
the well-known feed man of Blackburn avenue, Mr. Murray is a conservative and progressive man with
executive ability that eminently fits
him for the position as president of
the Association, which has passed
the experimental stage, and under
the guidance of Mr, Murray results
are sure to accrue during the coming year.
Mr. E. B. Gray, another prominent member of the Association,
and a diligent worker, will fill the
vice president's chair for the next
term, Mr. Gray needs no extensive introduction to the people of
the Valley, for he is already well
and favorably known, having conducted a meat market here for
many years. He, too, through his
experience in a business way, will
make a valuable official.
The duties of the financial and
recording secretary will be attended
to by Mr. Paul J. Quinn, a well-
known young business man who is
the head of the Paul -J. Quinn
Gompany, gents' furnishers, of Beaver street. Mr. Quinn has much
to recommend him for this responsible position, having been connected with the Tri-State News Bureau
for some years and this, with his
keen business knowledge, places
him in a position to transact the
business of the Association in a
diplomatic and expeditious manner.
Gouncilman A. H. Diehl, proprietor of the Sewickley Studio,
will serve as corresponding secretary. Mr. Diehl has had valuable
experience in administering duties
such as he will be called upon to
perform. He was one of the charter
members of the East End Board of
Trade.
Tfie treasurership of the Association was not changed and Gouncilman Walter E. Patton will remain
in this office for another year. This
was the unanimous consent of the
members of the organization.
The board of trustees elected,
consists of Messrs. B. F. Gampney,
S. B. Handy, W. J. Kerr, E. W.
Becker and Joseph Heuler.
The results in the main show a
well-chosen set of officials, and
their tenure of office will no doubt
be a profitable one for the Association.
Prior to the election the regular
routine business was disposed of
and a report was received from
the special committee appointed
Some time ago to look into the
procuring of, if possible, a post-
cffice site. The comnvttee secured
.data and information concerning
nearly a dozen pieces of property,
and reported as its choice to the
Association the Johnston property
on Broad street. The report was
received and the committee continued to look further into the
matter with the point in view to
have not only the borough authorities to become interested, but all
the citizens, the idea being to grasp
the opportunity of procuring for
'the town a public improvement
that will be of lasting benefit and
a credit.
