The following resolution was adopt
ed upon motion OF John *. Stauifer;
Resolved, That the Board of Trade
petition the Honorable Board OF
County Commissioners, to erect
bridge over the Santa Fe River on
Delgado Street, the necessity there
fore being OF the most urgent nature.

necessary number of signatures, had
been presented to the commissioners
some time ago. President Prince
and Secretary Lusk were appointed
a committee to present the resolu'
tion to the Board

President Prince presented a cir
cnlar letter issued by the Board or
Trade of Flushing, Long Island, which
| is Of especial interest, because the
Santa Fe Board of Trade is the par
ent body of the Flushing Board
which was organized and modelled
after the Santa Fe Board, adopting
the constitution of the latter almost
verbally. The Flushing Board now
has between 200 and 800 members
and is a very fiourishing organiza
| ton. Incidentally, President Prince
dwelt upon many benefits secured
for Santa Fe by the Board OF Trade
and the contributions made to the
public welfare, such as spending $l2s
last year for planting and taking care
of trees on Montezuma and Don Gas
| par Avenues from Water Street tt
the depots: the raising of $500 to
yard securing for Santa Fe the loca
ton OF the James Mission School fo
boys; the donation of a tract o
| land to the New Mexico Centra
Railroad; the raising Of $1,000 to
ward the public library building, AM
many other public objects pu

it's members.

plant being made that garbage
e dumped in the Arroyo Sais and Q
r Delgado Street, and that the bulk

l. too near the city for reasons
p health. Complaint was also mat
if that the garbage collector does n
!. visit many parts Of the city and co
o fines himself mostly to houses wit
in short distance of the Plaza. TT
suggestion was made that 1T mig
be an experiment worth trying to a
> vertise for bids for years CO
= tract to remove the garbage, und
certain restrictions. such as that t
u garbage must be burned in a cren
III tory or taken out at least four mil
IS from the city. 1t was stated by Sc
ld eral members that in many sm
er towns, these derived revenue fr(
le the disposition of garbage, and tn

IL ly contract than by hiring men
ne a monthly salary.
