BOARD OF TRADE,
Street Paving Discussed at Considerable
Length.


The Board of Trade held it's annual
meeting Thursday with President P. X.
Reeves presiding. In the absence of
Secretary Cox, Thos. Hoff acted in that
capacity. A large number was present.
Inc chief business of the Board was
listening to the report of committee of
Municipal improvements. Chairman O,
Smith was delayed, and awaiting his
arrival Ed. M. Fithiam (also member
OF the committee) made some remarks
advocating Board of Public Work. or at
least some one 18th special technical
knowledge, to supervise construction of
streets, building Of sswe-s, etc. He also
stated he had inspected the street paving
OF several Eastean cities, 'such as Camden,
Wilmington and other cities, and was of
the opinion that vitrifed brick was the
best paving material for city like
Bridgeton. Mr.. Fithian was followed bv
Mr. f. +. Smith, who was of the same
opinion, exhibiting some specimens of
brick such as is used in the City of Col
umbus, where about 20 miles of such
pavement were laid. Several letters from
the contractor who had done most of the
work in Columbus, were also read.
Mr.. Ober in Smith then went into the
matter with considerable detail, having,
in his possession letters from engineers
and contractors, together with estimates,
blueprints, etc. He favored Asphalt
pavements on account of less power be-
ing required to draw vehicles, cleanliness
and lack of noise. 1t was shown that
an Asphalt pavement could be laid down
for about $3.50 per square yard or ifheavy
concrete foundation under the Asphalt,
$3.50 per yard, while vitrified brick could
be laid for from Sl.5O to S1.75 per yard.
Most of the members present engaged
in the discussion, the sense of the meet
ing being that vitrified brick was prob
ably the most expedient material for the
present and that the fire district should
be paved as soon as possible.
The Board adjourned about 10 O'Clock,
after one of the most profitable meetings
ever held

GENTLEMEN:-Consid your prop

l. We do not propose to govern the
membership or connection of any en-
ploye with any lawful association, but
such connection with such association of
any character whatever must not enter

2. That any grievance of whatever

will always be considered fairly and
promptly before such man and the officers
of the company, and the company will
afford such men an opportunity to ex-
anime the records of such employees to
their entire satisfaction.
3. We accept your statement that all
men discharged since December 10, 1895

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. %, 1895.
The employees of the Union Traction
Company have conferred with their COM
mittee who presented the communication
OF j. r. Beetem, General Manager, dated
December %, 1895, making three (3) pro-
positions of settlement of the strike now
pending. They desire to say in reply, in
view of their anxiety to meet the views
of the company and in reliance upon the
fairness of the Traction officials in con-
slderlng their workmen, and because of
the general desire for quick and peace
full adjustment of existing difficulties,
they accept the three propositions as
stated, earnestly asking, however, that
because of the losses already incurred by
such large body that the president, di-
rectors and managers of the Union Trac-
ton Company will endeavor to find an
honorable settlement of all contracts with
new men, so that the old men NAV find
employment as soon as possible, and un-
til such time they will equalize the en-
ployment of all the men as far as pos
sible. Respectfully.

Where Did 1 Get This Dreadful Cough.

No matter; the great question is, How
shall / get rid of it? Use THE PINE
OLA BALSAM, a soothing combination
Of the remedies nature has put in the pine
and other balsamic trees. 1t cures the
inflammation and tickling in the throat,
and if taken in time will prevent the
spread of the disease to the lungs. Ely's
Pineola Balsam is strongly recommended
in cases of asthma. Twenty-Five cents is
the price. Tell the neighbors about it.

in the matter of the recently sold refund
ing bonds which Street, Wykes Il Co. have
repudiated. Mr.. Munson said that the

go to New York City and find out Just
where the city is at. Councilman Savage
favored an expenditure of not more than
500 for the round trip. Mr.. Dunn said
that il he was to 90 east at all lie wanted
to be limited to actual expenses. Coun-
