Sfr s. w. Travers then reported the action
taken at the recent conference between the

burg Chamber Of Commerce in relation 10 the
Virginia and Carolina railroad, which was as
follows:
Resolved. That the Committee of Confer
ence from the Chambers Of Commerce of the
cities of Petersburg and Richmond recon-
mend the appointment OF q JOINT committee
consisting of three from each of said cham
bers which committee shall have charge of
all matters pertaining TO the Virginia and
Carolina railroad and shall personally confer
with the parties who are most interested IN
this enterprise and recommend such plan as
they consider best calculated TO promote the
construction of SAID road.
Upon motion Of Mr.. Samuel Register the re-
port was adopted, with the understanding that
the committee suggested will be appointed.
Mr. Trayers also called the attention of the
Chamber to the desirabiity and Importance
for several reasons OF an aDbatolr being es-
tablished near Richmond and that question
was referred TO the Committee on Health and
Sanitation for a report.
Mr. Register then suggested that the prices
fixed upon for the maps OF Richmond and
vicinity published by the Chamber were too
high for their free and general use and urged
the importance of the figures being lowered
so that the utmost good could be accom-
plished by this advertisement of Richmond as
Il commercial and industrial centre. Mr..
Arthur b. Clarke, chairman of the Committee
on Manufactures upon which the duty OF hx
inc these prices deYOlYed explained that as the
Chamber was obliged TO distribute about !. 300
Of these maps gratuitousiy they had adopted
figures which would merely reimburse the
Chamber for its actual outlay. and that in
considering the propositions from certain
parties to Use the maps freely at less than
half of their prime cost. the committee doubt
ed their authority TO act in the premises and
referred this question TO the board, but that
he hoped. as the matter was before the
Chamber. they would decide it, and not as
had been suggested. refer the subject again TO
his committee.
The matter was then further discussed by
Messrs. Register Everett Waddey, Il. II. Whit
lock. Thomas Moore. H. W. Wood. Jr.. H. J..
Staples and the Chair, and the consensus of
opinion being that the price ought TO be re-
duced. even if the Chamber was not directly
reimbursed for its outlay, upon motion Of MIR.
ii. L. Staples it was determined that the maps
hereafter should be sold for twenty five cents
each in lots of less than fifty, and ten cents
each in lots of fifty and over.
