In relation to this company, Mr.. Lubin
was confident it was an enterprise that
could not fail, as it had been in business
for seventeen years and had abundant
capital to carry on its business regardless
OF any bonus; but he would, as MEM

member in that respect, as he believed in
Offering inducements to the best manu-
lecturers, as none but the best were
wanted.
Mr.. Lubin then moved the appoint
ment OF subcommittee by districts, to
canvass for signers to the notes. \ map
OF the city was produced and he thought
1t best to outline the districts to be given
separately to the committees TO canvass.
THE PLAN DISCUSSED.
DR.. G. NJ. Dixon objected to the plan,
as he thought committees selected in that
way would not perhaps be qualified to
get signers. He believed the work could
be done better by a few.
Mir. Coleman explained the difficulty of
the few members of The board being able
to cover the field, and deemed it best to
have the assistance of committees.
V. 5. McClatchy agreed with The Chair
and MIR. Lubln, that a thorough canvass
OF the city was too much 10 be asked of
the directors, and offered as an amend
ment to Mr. Lubin's motion that the sub
I committees be appointed to act under the
directors of the association.

finally the latter made motion that the

mittee OF five for each of the nine wards
as outlined in the new charter
This motion was carried. and the Chair
man reserved appointing the committees
until after consideration and advice.
A general discussion of the objects tof
the association ensued, and various sug-
gestions were taken up ard argued.
MIR. Lubin raised the question of pro-
ceeding to permanently organize, but it
was decided that 1t would be better 10 de-
fer 1t until 4 sufficient sum had been sub
scrIbed to insure the success OF the work.

eli OF Federated Trades, on the part Of
that organization, stated that as Il result
of Il discussion of the business in hand,
at Monday nights meeting, they desired

and that it could promise material assist

note, which carried.
