BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
Several New Committees Appointed
and 100 New Members Accepted.

The Board of Trade held a good meet
ing in the city government rooms, last
evening. 1t looked for a while as if
there would not be enough present for
4 quorum. as 1t was one of the busy
nights with the merchants. but enough
came in to make q good meeting and
there was material enough for pleas
ant and profitable discussion.
The first thing taken up was the re-
tort of the committee on the revision
of the bylaws Of the board. The CON-
mittee reported many minor changes
in the laws and it's report was accepted.
According to the revised rules new
members must be proposed and accept
ed and nearly an hour was devoted to
this. 12o names being voted on and ac-
cepted This makes the total member
ship of the board over 200 and il is now
| in very flourishing condition.
A committee was appointed TO be
present at the hearing before the coun-
" commissioners in Winslow. Monday,
in regard to changing the location of
| the road at the approach to the new
iron bridge which will be built to re-
place the old covered one carried away
in the freshet. This committee consists
of President ]. F. Hill, Frank Reding-
ton and DR.. F. c. Thayer. The general
opinion seemed to be in favor Of chang
int- the road and the committee will
probably be heard in favor of the
change.
Another committee was appointed to
confer with the city government to see
what action can be taken to abate the
nuisance of house to house peddling
and hawking on the square. There
nave been numerous complaints of late
in regard to the house to house ped
diers. Many Of them are very insolent |
anc nave frequently insulted ladies' in |
attempting 10 force them to buy their I
wares. 1t was considered doubtful if
very much could be done to prevent |,
This. but the committee will confer with !
the city government in regard to the
matter and perhaps some plan nav be
hit upon.
The hawkers on the square can b9
handled much easier. These have
the merchants much trouble and
from time to time and il Is
the general opinion that something
should be done 10 prevent it. 1t is be-
IkNed that this can be easily reached
b% city ordinance and that the hawk
.as that is SO annoying can be prohibit
I'd. The committee appointed for the
conference consists Of President ]. F
