twenty business, banking, educational, religious, charitable, and medical organizations participated in the Association.

membership lists, director's reports, and newspaper clippings, relating to the association while Thomas J. Miller served as
its executive director, and reflecting its interest in land use, schools, traffic problems, street relocations, and housing.
