| There has been lately some severe things said In
one of the Milwaukee papers in regard TO the manage
ment Of the La Crosse Railroad Company, which IN
| duced call for meeting of the Board of Trade u
that cts to consider what action should be taken in
the matter. We annex the proceedings in full, to
show how the charges looked upon at home, where
| the parties are best known:
| Proceedings OF THE BOARD or TRADE
| or THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE, RELATIsG TO rHE Ia
CROSSE AND MILWAUKEE RAILROAD.
| AT the meeting If the Board Of Trade on Friday
morning. the 9Th instant after Change hours, W. ID.
Hbberi, esq, said the object OF calling the meeting
Was TO bring before the Board the gross attacks OF
The U0iiy AmfricdR upon the La Crosse Railroad 70.
Although il was well known TO gentlemen present thst
he war at variance with Of the Directors OF that
| read, yet he was quite willing 10 spk all personal
affairs hen the interests OF Milwaukee were at stake
Every one could see that il would be Tor the interests
Of this city if tho La Crosse road could succeed 10
establishing connections with the new roads projected
in Minnesota. The efforts of The hD'ey'ean TO preja-
dice the people Of that State against the Drectos OF
The La Crosse road were To be strongly deprecated by
every business man in Milwaukee, as II might be tho
means Of directing the trade Of the entire west
| f,om This eity 10 Chicago. As this was matter Ut
vital nlportaIce to the public, he hoped some steps
would be taken 10 couDteract the injurious influence
Of that paper, and wsuld therefore move that com
mttee Of five be appointed TO report on the subject 81
| q meeting tomorrow morning $3.50
| The Chair appointed Messrs. W. ID. Hbbard, >. b.
| Grant &. H. Wheeler John Bradford, and John
| Nazro, as such Committee. ,
