of Commerce met yesterday afternoon.
Six of them were present, with Hervey
Lindley in the chair.
The secretary read telegram from w.
III. Mills, of San Francisco, who is at
present in Washington. In it he states
that Congress is now considering pro-
position to reduce the tariff ON sugar,
which will undoubtedly affect the beet
sugar interest of California. He there
fore urged that meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce be held without delay
and some sort of a message be sent to
our Representatives in Congress asking
them to vote against the measure.
The board took action by directing the
secretary to telegraph Immediately to
Representative Vandever the opposition
of the chamber to any plan of tariff re-
form on sugar.
A committee consisting of Gen.
Hewitt, Judge B. S. Eaton and Judge A.
j. King, representing the pioneers of
this city, asked that the board take some
action in the matter of the entertain
ment of the excursion of the New
l. .,
which is to visit this city on the 18th of
next month. The matter was referred
to the committee on visitors, which will
work with the committee of the pioneers
of this city.
Mr.. Wilmer moved, and it was car
ried, that the committee on parks and
boulevards be requested to call meet
ing Thursday afternoon, at 4 O'Clock, of
citizens who live between Third and
Temple streets west of Main, to take
action with regard to boulevards to the
western and northern boundaries of the
city.
A committee on the hall of the cham
ber where the exhibit is placed to con-
sist of Capt. A. w. Barrett, G. M. Wells
and Secretary Patton was appointed, and
will take charge of all matters relating
to that department of the chambers
interests.
1t was stated that the Historical Soci-
ETY. wanted to make use of the assembly
room for their meetings. and Messrs.
Wilmer, Barrett and Patton were ap-
pointed a committee to confer with the
society The board then adjourned.
The Ladies' Annex held an important
meeting yesterday morning, at which
the committee on bylaws made a report.
The ladies decided to appoint commit
tee to send a report of their proceedings
to the newspapers, as gentlemen were
not to be admitted to the meetings.
A number of the ladies brought cut
flowers, which were tastefully arranged
in bouquets and scattered among the eX-
hibits The main hall now presents a
very attractive appearance.
The meeting of the members of the
chamber and of the public who are in
terested in the efforts to establish per-
manent exhibit of the products of this
section in Chicago, and perhaps also in
New York or Boston, will meet Saturday
afternoon, at O'Clock. Representatives
from number of outside towns will be
present, and definite action of some kind
will probably be taken.
The secretary of the chamber has been
very fortunate in securing large num-
ber of donations of late of furniture and
other articles needed by the chamber.
Yesterday S. w. Luitweiler contributed
a good express wagon to be used in col
lecting exhibit materials, and horse
and harness were loaned to the chamber.
Dupey & Co. and Celestin & Co. each
agreed to take care of the outfit for three
months gratis, and Dan Moriarty agreed
to paint the wagon.
The space in the permanent exhibit
hall is being rapidly filled up, and in
spite of the size OF the room it is not I'M
likely that before month has passed the
chamber will have as much material as
it can conveniently dispose Of Yesterday
Ed Germain put in a handsome display oi
wines, located in the northwest corner ot
the hall; w. HI. Stoll q Co. put in an
exhibit of mineral waters, and Parker
and Everett of pottery. The Duarte peo
pie propose to keep good display o
fresh fruit always on hand. John Scot
and A. G. Thompson sent in some fine
oranges and lemons yesterday.
At no time yesterday was there less
than dozen visitors in the hall, and al
times there were twenty or thirty.
