TRAFFIC BUREAUFOE RICHMOND.
1t Is Proposed to Appoint an Agent to Look
amer the QUESTION of Rates.

The question Of establishing freight
traffic bureau under the auspices OF the
Richmond Chamber of Commerce, as sug-
gested originally by the Wholesale Gro
GERS Association and approved by the
Chamber and its Inland Trade committee,
has resulted in the appointment OF
select committee for the purpose OF carry
ing out the suggestion.
The committee appointed By the presl-
dent OF the Chamber Is composer OF rep
rcsentatives OF AL the leading branches
OF business, and will meet at an early
date to take definite action.
such bureaus exist In many other trade
centres. They have been universally
found 10, facilitate the adjustment OF All
questions as 10 rates ana transportation
facilities and also 20 result In greatly
developing the business OF such centres.
The Inland Trade Committee OF the
Chamber has heretofore handled all mat
tiers OF this description seriously aHecuis
the interest OF the community, and the
propOsltiOu Is not TO superSede their
Valuable functions. but owing TO the
greater necessity for constant attention
and Increased activity IN dealing with
these problems the object Is 10 develop
this sphere of usefulness on the part Of
the Chamber.
rangerncut proposed Will be expected 10
give his exclusive attention 10 the ques-
ton OF rates as they aftect klchmond
business to keep In close touch win the
business men II the city and the trans
portation companies and with or without
the aid OF the Chamber and lis officers, as
the occasion requires. devote himself to
the adjustment OF difficulties ana the In
forest az receivers and shippers OF freight.
After fun consideration Of the subject,
Il is the deliberate conclusion that Rich
mond cannot afford TO be now without an
active agency Of this kind. Organized upon
plan similar 10 that OF other cites.
Thev have been found 10 facilitate the
settlement of all issues 10 the mutual
advantage and convenience Of the rail-
