These acted, however, only in an advisory capacity. Propositions would go to the office of the corporation. The president of the corporation passed the proposition along to the proper committee. The committee obtained all the information possible and made a recommendation on the proposition to the board of directors along with passing along all the information. The board of directors considered the information again along with the recommendation and then took a definite action. Occasionally a matter would be important enough for the consideration of the entire corporation, but the committee system was designed to make this unlikely.
