Views Of Mr.. Britton.

IF the chairman properly states the views
of the committee in saying the salary would
be paid by voluntary subscriptions Mr.
Britton added, there is nothing before the
board at this time
Mr.. Warmers motion to adopt the report
was then voted down. ~ to -.
Mr. Harper questioned whether Mr. War
ner's motion was on the adoption of the re-
port. but Mr.. Warner and the presiding Of
ficer declared that 1t was in that form
That being the case the entire matter was
disposed Of
that the board should publish a monthly
periodical that should be the organ of the
board and should contain matter prepared
under the supervision of the committee on
manufactures.
Functions Of the Board.
Mr.. Ross Perry spoke at length of the
functions Of the Board of Trade He had
been greatly interested in all commercial,
enterprises here, he said, but the functions
of the board were and had always beer
much broader than commercial interests
Its name was really misnomer. because
it's activities had not been confined to those
that characterize a board of trade In othe,
cities. 1t looks after all the interests Of the
District of Columbia. 1t works to secure
parks and every form of improvement foI
the upbuilding of the city. Some time age
it was generally acknowledged that the
functions OF the Board of Trade were no,
purely commercial when the Business
Mems Association was formed, and again
later when the Jobbers and Shippers AS.
sociation was organized. For sixteen years
the board had stood on the ground that 1,
was not a mere commercial body and tina,
commercial interests were merely one OF
it's functions He did not want to see the
association become a mere jObbers and
shippers association. For those reasons he
proposed to vote against the resolution
providing that the board publish a trade
paper.
Mr. Harper read portions of the consttu-
ton of the board to show that it was or.
ganized for the purpose of advancing
trade.
False Colors Alleged.
According to Mr.. Perry's statement,
Mr.. Harper declared. this board Is travel
ing under false colors. 1t is travelling undel
a misnomer and 1 suggest that it ought t
be made simply political organization OIL
circus. because the acrobatic perform
ance of this evening beats anything I have
ever SEEN.
