Board was held last evening. The President
reported to the Board that he WAS unable to
find from the active members of the Cham
her delegates who could 60 to ST. Louis TO
the meeting of the National Board of Trade
to represent there the Richmond Chamber
of Commerce..
The President laid before the Board a re-
port from the Committee on Accounts, stat
ting that they had examined the financial re-
port made by the secretary and treasurer,
and had found the SlmC correct in every PAR
ticular.
The subject of the pilot laws then came up
and was thoroughly discussed, and various
facts We're stated going to show the indis-
pensable necessity of having prompt and
effective action taken in this session of the
General Assembly for the modification OF
those laws. The President informed the
Board that i'll few days lie would call a
special meeting OF the subject, as every day
more and more shows the injury done to the
trade OF the city--onc of the evils now OK.
lstln@ being til" scarcity Of vessels and the
consequent detention of freight here, and the
non-arrlvai of freight here, because masters of
vessels have to pay such Il heavy percentage
! OH their tonnage i'll the way of pilot fees
The large expenditure which the city OF
iichmcnd is making in clearing the james
river Was referred to 10y some of the mcIn-
bcrs OF the Board as All additional reason
why the Legislature should modify the pilot
laws so as TO increase and facilitate the river
traffic AS far as possible.
| Alter the transaction of some ether h1si-
| ness, the Board adjourned
