but which 10 nevertheless under existing
conditions source Of indignation and petty
annoyance to citizen and stranger ~ we'll
refer 70 the entire absence Of any systen
in the charges made BY drivers OF Public"
or Accommodation carriages"; no one
should be allowed to run such convey
ance on our streets unless licensed BY the
city, and furnished with number which
should be put on the carriage 90 il could be-
plainly seen by day or night, and Q proper
record kept Of all such licenses and num-

conspicuous places; and ~ means Of pro-
lection 70 the regular carriages run by citi-
gems Of this city, there should be = fee Of
from three to Ave dollars charged for each

year; suggest that our committee on rail-
rosds and transportation investigate this
subject.

ate Board Of Trade convention TO be held
In this city some time in January 1892, for
the purpose Of maturing or advising ~ to
come Systematic course Of action that Maine
is TO play In the forthcoming drama to be
known ~ the Columbian Exposition;
the convention could no doubt fiud plenty
to do for two days, and should close with
banquet given by the members Of this
board, this being the capital 1t seems ftsiog
that we should extend these coufteeies to
the boards Of management Of the numerous
similar organic Ations in the State.
This Legislature will Of course make an
appropriation sufficient for the necessities
Of the occasion to represent Maine NJ the
fair. it should not ba less than $50. 000-if
properly done this State can be advertised
ct that fair to great aud lasting advantage,
and with claims that few other states eau
approscb. and the fair commissioners should
consult with the various boards Of trade
and allow the prominent locations and in
dustries some voice in the general plan.
