ESCOURAGENENr 10 NEW COMMERCE.
The same committee submitted the fol-
lowing supplemental report
CmAMBEE or COMMERCE.
RICHMOND, Va, May 9, 1889
Gentlemen.-T undertaking which
we have entered upon is Of such moment
and magnitude we feel that the business
people and professional men Of this
city should not De called upon to
bear the entire expense If we could
possibly raise the whole amount
by private subscriptions we doubt if the
willing giyers should be thus taxed for
the general good. IL seems 10 us emf
nenily proper that the ciiy0f Richmond
as corporation, should give q helping
hand, and We suggest that the City
Council pass an ordinance allowing the
Chamber OF Commerce on It's authorized
committees 20 offer as inducements TO
new enterprises free gas and free water
for stated periods
There are no doubt many other ways
IN which the city could and should help
this great cause, but for the present these
suggestions seem sufficient We r. com
mend that this matter be- referred 10 a
committee with instructions 10 perfect
practicable plan and lay il before the
CITY Council
The rapid approach of warm weather,
and of the time when large numbers OF
our citizens will be leaving ON tours of
health or pleasure, admonish ms that
what is To- be done must be done quickly

The report was explained by Mr.. b. I.
Johnson and was adopted, and the. fol-
lowing special committee was appointed
90 communicate with the City Council.

Ii was the desire Of the Committee on
Commerce that special committee
should be appointed.
THE sTKEET-CARs
Mr.. ThaXton said that he had been
asked by several citizens TO bring 20 the
attention of the Chamber the condition |
of the street-car service.
Mr. Myers, Judge Christian, and other
said they regarded the service I
as much inferior TO what il ought 10 be. /
and after some informal discussion Mr. /
rhaXfon offered the following which /
