The Board of Trade

The annual meeting of the Board OF
Trade was held in the chamber of COM
merce Tuesday night. Mr.. HIT. Cushwa,
president of the Board presided. The re-
port of the offices were read. These showed
that the result OF the work done by the
Board is very encouraging. A majority OF
the membership which is 90 not being
present the Board was not able TO hold the
annual election, as the constitution requires
a majority of the membership to be present
in order that an election may be held.
The meeting was adjourned until next
Friday night, when it is hoped sufficient
number of the membership will be pres
ent to hold an election of officers.
