THE BOARD OF TRADE
GOVERNORS
At the meeting of the board OF
governors last night, many matters
of Importance were discussed and
acted upon.
Board of Trade Meeting Postponed
The meeting of the of trade was
postponed from Thursday night until

Gainesville Wants to Know
Letter received from the Gaines
Vile board of trade wanting to know
if Ocala was to have Fourth of July
celebration, was received. Gains
vile wants to have a Fourth, but
doesn't want to conflict with Ocala.
Ocala will have a quiet Fourth
this year, and put her money into
band concerts, so Gainesville may
go ahead.
A letter was read from the secre-
tary of the state chamber of COM
merce as we'll as Mr.. Conley, secre-
tary of the Jacksonville board, who
is vice-president of the Southern
Commercial Secretaries Association,
insisting on Secretary Rooney at
tending the meeting June 4th, 5th
and 9Th, at Vicksburg. This is an
important meeting and the secretary
should be allowed to attend. But
the finances are not sufficient to send
at the expense of the board. Some
of our public spirited citizens should
raise a fund and have the secretary
attend this meeting. Ocala would
be repaid in publicity.
Special mention was made of the
splendid edition of the Tampa Tri-
bune and it's Marion county ten-page
write-up. Every copy that can be
secured of this should be bought and
turned over to the board to be mail
ed out
Interesting data on inland naviga-
ton was presented. This important
matter will be given full publicity
later. Thru this movement relief is
in sight, and the burden of freight
rates can be rolled away.
