Meeting OF the Board or Trade,

At special meeting of the Board
of Trade held last evening the COM
mittee appointed to confer with any
persons wishing to start a manufac-
turing business reported, through
their chairman, that they had con-
ferrsd with a representative of one of
the largest shirt manufacturing firms
in Philadelphia, but that this gen
tlemen had told them plainly that
other towns nearer Philadelphia had
made offers fully as good and could
secure lower freight rates for their
raw material and finished goods.
The remarks of those present then
drifted into discussion of the possi-
bility of securing reduction of rates,
but the idea that statistical informa-
tion must be furnished before the
railroad officials could know what to
do in the matter, finally prevailed.
The appointment of a special commit
tee on transportation was asked for
but the motion was lost because at
the regular meeting to be held Fri
day evening standing committees
will be appointed with which any
special committee might conflict.
Those present were very much pleas
ed with the offer of the owners of the
steamer Clio and Mr.. Stevens to
deliver freight from Philadelphia to a
manufacturing enterprise in Middle
town at twelve and one-half cents
per hundred pounds. The sugges-
tion of Mr.. Budd that the coming
fruit crop should be made the basis
for revival of business in Middle
town was to the point and should be
utilized. There is no better way on
earth to develop a town than to
make use of the natural advantages
surrounding it any enterprise which
must be kept going by the employ
ment of artificial means is sure to fail
in time; we need here in Middletown
some industry which naturally be-
longs here. The meeting to be held
Friday evening is an important one
and should be well attended.
