J. w. Young reported progress for
the railroad committee and in the
course of his remarks, stated that n
hundred houses were now being built
npon the island and the number would
be not less than 200 during the year.
P. P. Baker spoke upon the report
and emphasized the features of special
rates to places of resort, and urged that
each individual member address a let
ter to the railroad officials stating the
losses in travel personally known to
DShem II cohssqde9cs offhe withdrawal
of the Communication tickets. It was
shown that several agencies were at
work here that seldom exist in a new
place. 1t was thought that the dollar
excursion train might be put on much
earlier than last year. Mayor Baker
urged as practical the building of a road
to the mainland hat would meet the
Reading road. His remarks were
roundly applauded.
A vote of thanks was rendered to the
banquet committee and to MI. Tresher

splendid in which it was
served.
