 DIRECTORS Of Tempe Board Of Trade
 Monday Evening THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS
R. J, Schweppe, New Pres ident-An Active Cam paign for Advertising of This Section Will At Once Be Mapped Out

A meeting of the board of directors of the Tempe board of trade was held Monday evening for the purpose of closing up the business of the old board and for the election of officers and the organization of the new board. There wassa good attendance of the directors and members of the board present and the business of the evening was carried out with prompt ness and dispatch.
 The report of Treasurer Dickinson was read and approved as the first order of business. The report showed that since the organization of the board. nearly q thousand dollars has been collected. It further showed that within a few dollars of the amount collected had been expended in one way and another in advertising Tempe and vicinity. Consequently, there re- mains on hand at the present time only small sum and as the board now has under consideration several advertising propositions. it is import ant that more money be raised at once. This matter. however. will be given attention later on.
 The election of officers resulted as follows: R. J. Schweppe. president: J. T. Birchett. first vice president; Halbert Miller. second vice president. F. w Griffen and Theo. Dickinson were reelected secretary and treasurer respectively.
 The office of president is an i'm portant one and better selection could hardly have been made. Though a comparative newcomer to Tempe. Mir. Schweppe during his residence here has taken an active interest in everything that pertains to the up- building of Tempe and the south side. At the head of the board of trade he will be in position to do more to- ward boosting Tempe than he could possibly in any other capacity. He has announced that he proposes to prosecute vigorous campaign of ad- vertising and boosting and in this commendable project he should have the support of the entire board and public in general
 Already finance committee, con sisting of the president. secretary and treasurer and Mir. Geach has been appointed. This committee will meet within a day or two to map out of activity and every citi- zen in Tempe will be given an oppor tunity to join the organization and those who are already members will have a chance to pay their dues. Just at present what the board needs most is money and' it has but two ways to get 1.-the sale of stock and the col lection of dues.
 With an energetic man at the head of the organization and with the help and assistance of the people of Tempe, the board of trade can do much for the good and upbuilding of the town. That is its purpose and that is exact ly what it proposes to do.

TOWN MEETING
 TO BE CALLED
Stratford SeIectmen Will Yield to In. struction From Electors, Given
 Feb. 28.
Barnum Avenue People Rejoiced Over Near Prospect of Speedy Arrival
 of the TroIIies.

All fear that the se1ectmen of Stratford would deal in bad faith with the town in respect to the order of the meeting of Feb. 2S, was dispelled this morning, when Charles H. We11es. chairman of the board, announced that a town meeting will be called for Monday or Tuesday of next week.
 The object of the meeting is to en- able the town to make an appropria- ton of the sum necessary to construct an additional two feet of macadam roadway on either side of the proposed trolley tracks on BarnuTn avenue.
 No progress seems to have been made in the effort to induce the Con necticut Company to make further con sessions. The company seems to have maintained it's position that its offer to build ten feet of roadway on either side of the tracks is liberal. It is understood. however. that the select between State Highway Commissioner Macdonald and Engineer Elwel1, rep resenting the company. If anything in the nature of 9, compromise is ob- tained the result will be announced to the meeting.
 The Barnum avenue people believe their long struggle to connect their part of the town by trolley with Bridgeport They are certain that the money will be granted to give the IOdOWdy LI10 1lIC1SdSO0 W40Ii4S I11e1S IAAS tracks will be down in a few months, and that within few years the Bar mum avenue section of Stratford will be the site of the comfortable homes of large population who will increase the grand list of the town and bring greater prosperity to merchants and professional men.
 The improvement will be especially valuable to men who are employed in the large factories of East Bridgeport, many of whom have already establish ed their homes in this part of the old town.
 The dispute between the company and the town related to the width of the avenue. The railroad was will ing to lay it's tracks and build ten feet lectmen demand 12 feet. The proposi- ton now is that the town shall pay for the additional two feet on each side The cost will be slight, probably not more than $3,000.

BRAZIL, ITS RICHNESS
 AND INDUSTRIES
A New Book Setting Forth Its Politi-
 cal and Industrial Development

Few persons are aware of the extreme richness of the United States of Brazil, the largest and most important of the South American republics, and to sup ply full historical and industrial infor- nation, the government of that country has had prepared a vo1uminous work in two volumes which is shortly to make its appearance in English.
 In 1905, the Brazilian Minister of Means, Transportation, Industry and Public Works ordered the preparation ot this work, and 1t was accomplished after three years arduous labor under the d1-i rection of Dr. Vieira Souto, Professor of the Polytechnic School of Rio de Janiero. and at present Director of the Mission of Economic Expansion, with offices in Paris, France. The work was first published in Portuguese, then trans lated into French, and has just been pre- pared afresh in English. It is in two volumes of 1000 pages each, copiously illustrated.
 The work describes in detail the ex7 traordinary rapidity with which the DO. 1itical and industrial development ot the country has gone forward, and in the section devoted to the conquest of the soil, it reads like great TO- nance of adventure. The manner III which Brazil has taken hold of and might serve as lesson to the nations, for she has driven out the yellow fever scourge completely, bringing her nor ta1ity tables down far below those of any European city The Rio de Janeiro fig ure now standing at 2o7, the European average running to 26.8.
 Within the space of 34 years the pop 11lation of Brazil has gone up from some Io,ooo,ooo to over 22ooo,oOo, an increase of over one hundred per cent. In 1903, her exports were I85 millions, and four years later had risen to 2z2 millions. Every phase of industry has gone for ward rapidly, and the great republic with Iso,ooozsquare miles more territory than the United States, is coming rap idly to the front among the nations, for her richness of resource is almost be- yond belief The new book will be ready for distribution within a few weeks.
