gether TO consider the matter is most
commendable.

such import that, instead Of taking ac-
tion and appointing delegates TO the

Commissioners, I have called a meeting
OF the board OF directors Of the Board o.
Trade for tomorrow afternoon at AIS
O'Clock in the Board Of Trade rooms for
the purpose Of taking action on the sug-
gestion of the Commissioners.
Mr.. William F Gude, president of the

considered at the meeting of the board
