He felt that such an organization would tend to create a much wider interest in boating, and, as a consequence, the further development of the Yacht Barbor. There are between 75 and 100 boats berthed.at the Harbornow~ for'which rentals are collected by the Port Commission, and these collections take care of the ordinary maintenance of the Barboe. Dr. Fromm suggested that the dues for such an organization be from 50ç to 1.00 per month, having in mind a large organization with small dues, rather than a small organization with comparatively higher dues.
