pointed to take charge OF tho savannah relief move
ment, which was accepted. The facts in the report
have already been published.
Mr.. A. A. Low hero returned thanks for the honor
conferred ppon him in his eecctian To the position of
president Oh the Chamber. He alluded to the large
tndnence exercised by tho Chamber of Commerce
throughout the country. Since l78S 1t had been in
existence After nearly hundred years practical
operation was without proper bading Ia which to
conduct its business There every reason believe
that New Yerk would become the greatest COM
nercia emporium, not alone Of this continent but Of
thc whole world. The merchants Of the city had done
much for every other institution bat nothing their
own. He lMr. Lowl In conclusion, would earnestly
ueconmend that suitable building be erected for the
Of the Chamber, in which preserve the archives
o the body and conduct all matters which should
before them. Twenty five men could be found who
woald give sloeo each, fifty who would give 600
each, and avo hundred who would contribute 600
each One million delars in his opinion, could easily
BE- raised for an object OF this description.
Ex Mayor 0rpYKs entirely concurred with Mr.. Low in
his suggestion. He concluded BY moving that the
whole matter be referred comnittee Of ten, which
motion carried.
The meeting then adjourned
