The Frederick Board of Trade.

At recent meeting Of the Business
Mems Association they adopted a new
constitution and by laws, and changed
the name of the association to the
Frederick Board of Trade"
The new constitution is designed to
meet the larger requirements of the
city. A committee was appointed to
investigate the ACCESSIBILITY of forming
a Womens' Auxiliary.
Some opposition to the change in
the name was manifested, but the plan
was adopted finally by large majority.
The association was organized 10 years
ago. and its by laws contained provis-
ions now considered unimportant and
which were eliminated.
President Gambrill has announced that
he will issue call for a citizens meet
ing to be held on July 10th, at which
plans for a new city charter will be dis
cussed. 1t is proposed to appoint
committee to get up charter especially
adapted for greater city.
A strong sentiment exists in favor
of the commission plan of municipal gov
eminent, and the committee empowered
to draw up the new charter will investi-
gate the form of government now in op-
Grafton in Cumberland Md, and else
where. New building and sanitary laws
will be among the prominent features
OF the proposed new charter.
