Locks Changed

Following the misappropriation of Chamber of Commerce property, the locks on the buildings at 50 Aragon Ave. have been changed. The Chambers Board of Directors was told last week by Manager Lee Smith that it has been impossible to determine how the Chamber's printing name plates were made available for use by Mayor Robert Searle. He reported the Mayor said he doesn't know either. The Chamber's mailing list was one of several used in Searle's behalf in his bid to be elected to the State Democratic Executive Committee. Mayor Searle said some of his campaign workers must have obtained the list, never made available for such use, Chamber Manager Smith said.
