Is 1t not possible for any worthy couple
to take upon themselves the bonds OF
matrimony and then quietly settle down

CITY's COMMITTEE NOT NAMED.
Plans for the Investigation of West
India Trade Progressing.

Mayor Meldrim has not yet appointed
the five members to represent the city on
the committee named Wednesday by Com
missioner Purse of the Freight Bureau
to arrange for sending a committee to
Cuba and Porto Rico for the purpose Of
establishing trade relations with Savan-
nah. Other duties prevented this, but the
Mayor will probably name the committee
soon, in order not to interfere with the
plans already mapped out.
The duty Of these special commission
ers, eight of whom have been appointed
by COMMISSIONS Purse, will be to devise
ways and means for sending the repre-
sentatiVes selected, except those who de-
sire to pay their own expenses. 1t is be
heVed there are several who are inter-
ested in the possibilities of establishing
trade relations with the West India ISL
ands, and would not, therefore, hesitate
10 pay their expenses, since going in an
ofhcial-capacity would place them in clos
er touch with the people from whom they
could get the most reliable information.
How many there are of this class is not
known, but the committee now being con-
stituted will not expect to bear the ex-
penses of the entire delegation. If there
are no volunteers, however, il will not
interfere with the plans
another duty OF the special committee
will be 10 indicate to the delegation the
exact points upon which information is
desired. The class Of goods that will be
most In demand, the best way to get them
there, the competition to be met, and
other matters of Importance, viii be for
the delegation to investigate.
As soon as the committee is complete,
the delegation will be selected and ar
rangements made for it to start. While
the number to go will depend largely upon
circumstances IL is desired that there be
as many interests represented as posi-
bic, so that every feature of the question
will be fully developed. 1t is stated that
Cuban forests are rich and undeveloped,
but the fact that hard woods abound
chiefly, will leave the way open for an
enormous trade in the lumber that moves
through Savannah yearly Then there will
be demand for groceries and produce of
all kinds, such as the jobbing houses of
Savannah will be able to furnish, If they
are provided with the transportation IA
cilities by the water route.
