LAUREL'S DEMONSTRATION.
board of Trade Celebrates Annfyer-
sary-the Speakers


Speeial Correspondence OF The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Nd, January g. 1902
The Laurel board of trade celebrated it's
first anniversary last night with appro-
PIRATE ceremonies. A spirit Of general good
feeling and hearty cooperation was mani
Test In the assemblage. in direct line with
the endeavor Of the body to bring about
a unity OF action and closer cooperation
OF the citizens of this town in the interests
OF the general community.
After the meeting had been called to or
der by President E. L. Petit motion to
postpone all business pending before the
BODY until the next meeting of the board
Vas carried. The retiring president then
addressed the meeting ami spoke in high
terms OF the appreciation he felt of the
confidence reposed in him by the members
OF the board. Mr.. Petit traced the history
or the organization from its inception and
stated that although there were no monu-
ments standing as the result Of it's organi-
cation still its existence was not in vain
MI. Petit spoke In prophetic vein, and
said the result Of the organization would
be more fruitful than the most sanguine
hope for. He referred to the lack of
unanimity among the members, which re !.
suited, he said, in greatly retarding
progress. In closing his remarks Mr. Petit
said: Permit me to bespeak Tor nv sue
cessor your hearty support and co-opera-
ton. Without this you cannot secure that
harmony which is the strength and support
OF all institutions and which is essentia,
to the success of this body and the accom-
plishment Of the purposes for which it was
organized and for which We are all work
ing and hoping"
After the applause which greeted the
closing words Of Mr.. Petit had subsided
the election Of officers for the ensuing year
was held. Without dissenting voice the
choice for president settled upon Mr.. Petit
The latter thanked the board in a few
words for the further honor conferred upon
him and earnestly requested that the mem-
bers aid him in the discharge OF his 6uties.
Mr.. George Earl was unanimously elected
vice president. DR.. T. NJ. Baldwin was
chosen secretary; Mr.. F. c. Dezendorf.
financial secretary. and Prof. F. H. Knowl-
ton. treasurer. The board Of directors will
consist Of: Mayor Edward Phelps, first
ward; Mr.. James p. Curiey. second ward:
Mr.. NJ ]. Tighe, third ward; Mr.. B. F.
Crabbs at large.
Mr.. John McPhaul, president of the
Rrookland Citizens Association. was then
introduced. and was warmly greeted. In an
address Sparkling with humor Mr. McPhaul
stated that he was surprised that out OF

less there was an understanding that they
would enter into and carry out the ideas
of the board. The increase in the business
of the country demanded that there should
be a more representative body than the
National Board of Trade as at present con-
stituted therefore the plans that had been
carefully considered by the committee We're
thought to be the only ones upon which the
board could continue as representative
body.
1t would be necessary to establish In TINS
city an Office which would be the head
quarters of the board, and it would be nee
essary to select as president a man VINO
could devote some of his time to the duties
of his office and to the BUSINESS at headquar-
ters. The appointment by the executive
council Of man we'll versed in business
affairs as commissioner or the board at a
salary of "a 900 per year, to take charge
of the Office here and work solely toward
the upbuilding of the organization. was
required under the new order of things, 1t
was stated, and the members OF the exc
cutiye committee should assume such po-
sitfons only with the understanding that
they should actively perform the duties OF
their office and attend the quarterly meet
ings of the committee, which will be held
in this city. The commissioner to be ap-
pointed will be selected by the executive
council and is to serve under orders from
the president and the members of the
council These radical changes in the or
ganization of the board will necessitate
some change in the constitution and by
laws, and the committee decided that a
special committee of five should be ap-
pointed by the president to consider such
changes
Presiding OMcer Chosen.
Mr. Blanchard Randall, president of the

consisting Of the vice presidents Of the cr-
ganization, was formed by each body man,

was reelected by the executive council as

Among the resolutions adopted was one
which stated that steam and electricity
have widened the areas of commercial ef-
fort and forced the organization of indus
try into larger units, and that enlightened
craftsmanship should favor legfsla Ion
