of the city favored coutinua-
ton of the present organization
and an increase in the dues. He vouchsafed
that L. Fletcher & Co. would take four
memberships at $25 each. He thought 100
ought to be readily disposed of at that fig
ure.

Mr.. Hill.

of the leading business men had urged Mr..
Hill to
RENEW HIS REQUEST
of the city council, and that he had con-
sented.
Mr.. Phlsbury suggested that in the
event it should again come before the city
council, that the railroad committees of the
board of trade and the chamber of COM
MERGE should meet with that of the city
council and confer upon the subject
jointly.
Maj. Camp and Judge Atwater were
placed upon the railroad committee to act
in this relation. The balance of this COM
mittee are W. s. King, Loren Fletcher,
Robert Hale, J. N. Gross, G. A. Pillsbury,
John DeLaittre, o. g. Merrimap.
A lengthy but informal discussion en-
sued upon the subject, in which nearly all
the members placed themselves on record
as favoring the furtherance of the project
by all reasonable means.
Col. King issued the following
GALL:
A meeting of the committee of the board
of trade on railroads will be held at the
