Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-26

The board of directors of the chamber
of commerce met yesterday afternoon,
Mr.. G. M. Wells in the chair, and Messrs.
E. w. Jones, w. H. Toler, j. Mills
Davies, L. N. Breed, j. H. Book and
Eugene German present.
The secretary was instructed to pub
lish weekly bulletin, providing enough
advertisements can be obtained to pay
for it.
Major Jones called attention to
the fact that San Diego is making
strong effort to obtain the establishment
of military post at that place. He
urged immediate action on the part of
the committee here to have it estab-
lished at San Pedro. He stated that it
would require about $40 acres, and he
thought the land could be obtained at
a low figure. He was given power to
select two additional members for the
com mittee to visit San Pedro with him.
Secretary Hanchette reported that on
Saturday evening the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen visited the chamber
in a body and were cordially received by
number of citizens, together with
number of the members OF the chamber
and the ladies' annex.
The entire force Of the chamber has
been busy for over a week in preparing
the first shipment for the Chicago per-
manent exhibit. The result has been
very satisfactory, but owing to delays on
the part of some of those who promised
articles the first shipment was not so
large as expected. Altogether seventy
packages were loaded in the car at noon
yesterday.
Another car will leave Los Angeles ION
October 9th. All articles for it must be
at the rooms of the chamber of COM
MERGE on Saturday, October 4th.
A number of letters requesting infor-
nation have been answered in pam
world. The United States government
at Washington apparently relies upon
the chamber for large part of the
wool crop statistics information for the
eleventh census. Complete returns
will probably be in by October 18th.
