COMMITTEES ARE ACTIVE

Owing to a rapid accumulation Of work
by the Committees of the Board Of Trade
it is probable that a special meeting OF
the board will be called shortly
President Maclean said this morning
that although the board will not meet in
regular session until the first Thursday
in September, the work Of the body Is
progressing satisfactorily. All the COM
mittees are working hard and so rapidly
is their work piling up that 1t may have
to be disposed Of before the regular meet
ing Of the board. Mr.. Maclean regrets that
the failure TO get prominent speakers to
address the proposed open air meeting OF
the board caused a postponement OF the
meeting, but he feels that the board viii
continue lively during the warm months
without summer meeting.
