MEMBERS WANT
new QUARTERS
MANY SIGNED PETITION
ASKING BOARD OF TRADE TO Sc
CURE NEW ROOMS.

Matter Taken Up at Meeting of Di-
rectOrs but Postponed for Action
Till IL Can Come Before Can
Meeting of Members 10 Be Held
Tuesday-Three Sets of Quarters
Under COnside ratiOn--C. w. Saussy
TO Act Temporarily for Capt. G. l..
Chesnutt.
To move or not to move is the ques-
ton that received the greatest amount
of attention at a meeting of the Board
of Trade directors yesterday.
The sentiment of very large num-
Der of the members of the organization
is in favor of moving, but the ques-
ton was not settled, and will not be
until a general meeting of the mem
bers of the organization can be held,
which will be Tuesday at II o'clock.
AS showing the strength of the senti-
ment in favor of a move petition
asking for a change of quarters and
signed by sixty-eight members of the
organization was presented to the di-
rectors.
Those who favor the change urge
many objections against the present
room of the organization, and have
suggested three other places as suit
able quarters. These are rooms on the
second floor of the German Bank build
ing, the offices formerly occupied by
the ]. p. Williams Company, just east
of the City Hall site, and the former
offices of the Georgia Lumber Com
pany.
Whatever change may be decided on
will hardly become effective before Oct.
l, at which time the contract for the
present quarters will expire.
