| The regular monthly meeting of the
Santa Fe Board of Trade was held

Palace Avenue. The session was called

Prince, who returned during the after
noon from Santa Clara in order to be
in attendance. The minutes of the
previous meeting, held July s, were
read by Secretary H. T. Gibson. On
motion the same were approved and
the board proceeded to business. Con-
siderable correspondence, in every in
stance from persons inquiring regard
| ing the climate of Santa Fe, was read
by Secretary Gibson, who reported that
he had given the same attention
President Prince suggested that it
would be well for the secretary to in
clude in his minutes clippings from the
Daily New Mexican referring to meet
ngs of the board or any matters con-
cerning the board.
Under the head of committee reports
President Prince brought up the mat
ter of the change in time brought
about on the Santa Fe Railway be-
tween Santa Fe and Lamy through this
assistance of the board, and turned
over to the SECRETARY all correspond
ence that had passed between the post
office department and himself. He said
that it was his understanding that the
oh in nn1v nj
and that permanent change wo'Id
be made later. On motion the COM
mittee that previously looked into the
matter of bringing about schedule
more advantageous to the interests of
Santa Fe was continued. Mr.. Prince
further reported that at the last meet
ing of the board he was directed to
communicate with Mrs. James of tie
Woman's Board of Home Missions of
the Presbyterian church of New York
City in regard to the proposed boys
school in this city, and that he had re-
ceived a favorable and encouraging
letter from her and which was .,onc
time ago published in the New Mexi-
can. In this connection Professor :!
A. Wood announced that he had receiv-
ed letter in regard to the same mat
ter The communication is as fol-
lows:
New York, N. Y, July q, 1904.
Dear Sir: Mrs, James is in receipt
of your very kind letter of the 23d in
slant offering help from the Board of
Trade of Santa Fe in the establish
ment of a boys school. We greatly
this offer of help and when
the time comes for the erection of the
will be very glad to avail our
selves of your offer to furnish a site.
This will be a great help to us. We
have not, however, secured sufficient
money for the building and desire to
have the entire $4,000 before we pro-
ceed. There remains yet $4,000 to
make up the amount. We are doing
all we can to get it. 1t would be we'll,
however, for you to notify us when
ever any good site may be available,
so that preliminary may be out of the
way when the total amount is raised.
Sincerely yours,
ELLA A. BOOLE.
From all indications it is the desire
of the Presbyterian board that the
school be located as near the Santa Fe
Presbyterian church as possible A
number of locations have been suggest
ed. The L'Engle property on lower
San Francisco Street, consisting of SO
acres, and which belongs to the Board
of Trade has been favorably spoken
Of by different members of the board.
A few persons are of the opinion that
it is too near the railroad. The COM
mittee, appointed at recent meeting,
Of which l. Sparks is chairman, was in
structed to look up prospective loca-
tions and report at the next meeting.
The subject of new quarters occupied
some little time. The present head
quarters of the board are to be fitted
up for Office rooms and it is probable
hat the next meeting of the board will
be held in the council chamber. On
motion of Mr.. Spitz and second, the
chair appointed committee of three,
H. T. Gibson, H. S. Kaune and Solomon
Spitz to secure new place of meeting.
The following resolution was adopt
ed.
This board tenders to Hon. Benjamin
NJ Read one of its members, its most
profound sympathy in the great sorrow
which has come to him today by the
sudden death of his estimable wife,
who had the sincere respect and regard
Of all who knew her.
