TWIN CITY UNION.
e. v. SmalIey Lays the Matter Be-
fore the MinneapoIfs Chamber.

fore the minneapolis Chamber.
E. V. smalley, father of the resolution
regarding the amalgamation of st. Paul and
Minneapolis, which was introduced at the
Mo HaT meeting of the st. Paul chamber of
commerce, addressed the meeting Of the
board of trade yesterday.
Mr.. Smalley informed the board that his
resolution, introduced at the chamber Of
commerce meeting, had been referred to a
committee, and he would not hazard a guess
as to what would happen to it, but he
thought thft majority of the chamber
we're in favor of the proposed union. "Of
course" said Mr.. Smalley, 1--WE have a num-
Der of old war horses who still have their
armor on. and they will oppose all attempt
of union, but / expect to see and look for
ward to the time when these two cities,
united, will be the greatest city between the
East and the Rocky mountains.
THE conditions during the past few years
have placed the two cities SO that they can
now consider the question without the old
antagonistic spirit. We are united physi-
cally already, and our business relations
bring US in constant contact with each other.
Why not stand as a great city of $50 900 in
habitants, instead of two large-sized cities
Then the question of economy, with the two
cities united we could have one city body
instead of two, and do away with half the
expense and number of officials"
Mr.. Smalley then touched on the question
of name and suggested that the name Of
"Mtnnie-PauP' be taken as compromise,
and claimed that it sounded as we'll as the
union of the two cities need cause them to
lose their individuality, and quoted Greater
New York an example
The idea of the future. amalgamation
seemed to meet with the favor of the board,
but as the question has not yet been off,
cially brought to their attention, no action
was taken further than a resolution intro
duced by S. G. Johnson to the effect that the
board extend greetings to the st. Paul cham
Der Of commerce, and say that whenever the
mater is officially brought to its notice they
will consider and act upon it.
