lFrom saturany.s paIlyD


record yesterday afternoon as ia
voring half holiday on Saturday
and an Observance Of Coronation day.
In addition TO this the association de-
clared that the Merchants Fair should
go on and that clean streets must be
secured very soon.
The meeting OF the association was
held in the rooms OF the Chamber of
/ Commerce. and was a well-attended
gathering. Those present were: +. w.
Macfariane, w. w. Harris, l.. L. Pink
ham. ]. r. Hamburg, II. F. Wichman.
NJ Phillips. @. w. Smith, w. w. Hall,
r. j. Church. John r. Soper. j. G..
Rothwell, F. l.. Waldron, c. Won
Hamm, w. ". Rabbit. ]. NJ. Wake
hels. J. G. Spencer. Robert Cation.
Reports from the street paving COM
mittees were first in order and they
came in quite rapidly. NJ. Phillips said
that there was but one reply from the
lower block OF Fort street. that the
Judd building would pay a pro rata.
Neither the Campbell estate nor Irwin
& Company had answered the commit
! tees letter l.. Il. Pinkham said that
in sase of the block below King street
! the Austin estate and j. o. Carter
were the only ones who objected, the
others wanting the Improvement. Mr.
Wichman said matters were in statu
quo in the block to Hotel street, owing
| to the fact that the Campbell estate
was not inclined to do anything, ac-
| cording to reports. and as the trus-
tees had not answered the request of
other committees. his committee had
kept quiet. The committees were con-
/ tinued with instructions to get together
! with the Superintendent of Public
| Works and find what that department
would do in the premises.
The committee which had in charge
the sending OF w. C. Weldon to the
| Coast reported having secured a pass
| for him. The chairman said he would
have to have more time for the prepa-
ra ton of the income tax report, owing
to the absence OF w. o. Smith from
the city.
The first communication read was
| one from A. Barnes. setting forth that
| what was needed badly here was a
credit bureau, and following his sug-
Eestion with remarks from various as
| sociations in the United States show
ing how they did the work of keeping
tab OF the dealers worthy of credit
| The report was considered of such
value that the matter was sent to the
committee of trade and finance for a
special report
The subject of coffee came up and a
letter from Captain Williamson, say
ING he would make an investigation as
to what he could do, was read. This
was followed by some interesting cor
respondence showing the interest
aroused in Porto Rico in favor of a
tariff on coffee. The letters are as fol-
lows:
