Following report. which was adopted:
ITO the Fort Worth Chamber OF COM
rncrce, Fort Worth Texas Gentlemen;
Your grain committee beg to submit.
the following report: Aftef thorough
examination OF conditions we lave de-
rzdcd that II is to the mutual advantage
OF tho city Of Fort Worth and the grain

Territories. 10 give 10 Fort Worth ,hc
privileges and advantages Of grain
market and for this purpose, by virtua
~ authority granted by you, We have
rrgunlzcd graln inspection depart
naent OF the chamber o. commerce.
md have adopted rules and regulations,
copies OF which are attached 70 this
report. We nlio beg to inform y1u
that ws have appointed SIR. Il. l.. NAL
Tory as chief Inspector: he 10 bear all
erpensea OF his department. and 10 re-
relyo AZ compensationt FOR his services
sA tho fess OF his department. We have
liked tho fees at 90 cents per car Tor
bulk grain and 1-2 cent per sack FOR
sacked grain. As the position Of chief
inspector is one Of great trust we have
decided that he shall giya bond Ia the
rum OF $1,000.
we think tbs Organization OF a grain
inspection department means u Hreat
deal TO our city. Il WIN enable the mills
OF tho state, as well as exporters and
other buyers. TO buy grain on official
tFhdca, this meaning absolute pf0tec-
non ha far rs tha quality OF the Ernin
~ concerned, and TO- this reason they
NH fhvor Fort Worth grain on an o.
naaiona, Il means equally As mti,h 10
country shipper, as By shipping To "a
mnrhet with such extensive Shipping
Faculties ne can be certain that h. will

IN connection with an inspection dc.
pirtntht' VIII encourage commission
hpuseH 10 open Offices here, and viii
also permit large elevators 10 he or.
Grated with profit. 10 the Fort worth
MUS u means a larger rejection OF
krAin TO choose from, thus enabling
mem 10 buy better ggaln at cheaper
prices than at present
In conclusion We beg TO say that
we think this step an Important one
In advancing the welfare of our oltv
nnd the tributary territory. The market
ior country produce Is the natural mar
kft Tor the country 10 huy In ami
ms should glye 10 Fort Worth a mtieb
larger Wholesale trade. II should also
establish more frmly Fort Worth's
