The Memphis Chamber of Com
mePce.

Nashville Banner, 18th.
If the resolutions of the chamber
of commsrce should be acted on, it
would present an easy solution of the
difficulty, not only in'regard to Mem
phis, but in all time to any portion of
the country that might be afflicted.
The sad experience of many towns
last year, aud the heavy penalty they
paid for their hospitality, is apt to
make them in the future go just as far
the other way, doing great injury to
commerce and injustice to the afflicted.
The chamber recommended that
Arkansas, New Orleans and those
cities now quarantining against
Memphis should adopt the rules and
regulations Of the sanitary council of
the Mississippi Valley. These rules
are simple, non-oppressive, and when
properly understood and executed,
combine the requisite degree of safety,
with no injury, or but little, to
commerce. We hope these other
governments will look into this matter
and adopt them.
