the location finally fix d upon was the
room In the WILCOX building now Occu-
pied by the Mechanics National bank. AT
that time the room extended through
10 the gangway In the rear, and was
fully $50 feet long. A meeting was held
which was so largely attended That IL
WAS found necessary TO adjourn from the
old rooms at Turks mead 10 the new
one. The selectlon was approved. aud
on Feb. rs. 1877. the Boa OF Trade
moved its table, desk and few chairs
from its first home to It's new one. IL
was at about this time, too, that the
community was beginning TO recover
from tue effects of the panic of 1873, in
which the "A. & w. Sprague interests
were ruined. The growing confidence of
the public was also felt by the
Boara VI Trade; and the lack of
sp rit Of enterprise. Some members
thinking that the mere receiving Of quo
tations ON stocks anu cotton a few times
daily did not entirely satisfy the busi-
ness demands OF the board, conceived the
idea OF adding to its previous facilities
those OF a mercantile character. IL was
thought that spaces for desks and small
tables could be- let to the various repre-
sentative firms who were member aud

ness; in short, make IL an exchange

idea seemed plausible. The tables ana
desks rented quickly at $50 each. APP
plications for membership were
numerous and at one meeting alone
thirty-nine members were voted i'm.
A new lease OF life seemed to have been
given the organization. There were cot

years were made Ine la sis of a bill which
must eventually become the law OF the
land on this most important question.
There remained two most important
local issues upon which the Board OF
Trade WAS particularly active-tne dis
posal of sewage u the terminal facili-
ties GA the former question it began
agitation In My OF 1883, and resolutions
regarding the pollution OF the Provi-
dence river we're kept before the city
council until the present system for the
disposal Of the sewage at Fields Point
was adopted. It. is not he essary to
note in detail the members activity
on terminals. That is "A matter we'll
known to all. The agitation began In
1881. 1t included "a good word FIR every
plan that wa pres ,ntel until 1887, when
it became evident that "a new starting
point was nee ssary, and In 1888, when the
present terminal CO nmitt=e was APP
pointed, the board gracefully congrat-
ulated the city council on the favorable
prospect for a settlement of the question.

followed in order. Up co the time of

" estern Union Telegraph company. Mr..

worked out the plan by which the board
should receive its own quo ations over its
own wires, thus .~,ffording instan-
taneous service for the quotation Of both
stocks aud cotton. Other improvements in
the rooms we're also made under his di-
rection, and a new ten years ase of the
building was secured. Tnese improves
ments also increased the membership.
until now it stands at over $40. The adj
ministration OF Charles IA. George, whj
followed MIR. Stark weather, was note
worthy for its vigorous protests against

The Providence Board of Trade Is an
organization truly typical Of Providence.
It's periods of activity have been periods
of municipal activity, and its seasons OF
quietness have been seasons OF similar
quietness In city affairs. The attendance
at its meetings and It's growth, since its
beginning in 1858. constitute a fair index
OF the varying degrees Of local enterprise
and public spirit that the citizens as a
hole. and the constituted authorities
ave shown in the community.
1t has included in its rcIl Of member
ship the names Of nearly. II not all,
the IN en- who could lay claim to promi-
ne Zee in the business successes Of the
city. Its members in their private busi-
ness have shown themselves to be
men Of segacity, keen insight into
men and affairs, and or sufficiently pro-
gressive spirit to make the states indus
tries and enterprises not only successful
locally but also successful beyond those
of any other city or state. 1t is perhaps
because of their strict attendance To
private affairs that they have had less
opportunity to devote to public cues
: ons which at times has caused q
