mittee which has been accepted by
them in the form incorporated IN
these bylaws. This committee Is cali
ed the public health committee, as the
name shippers wharf committee is
practically mis1Omer- The present
shippers wharf committee will. how
ever, have TO continue until all the
! funds in its hands have been dispers-
/ ed, the new committee receiving the
funds which are contributed by the
merchants and holding them until

these funds are needed.
There is but one matter which thu
committee has thought best to refer

Of the association. The committee
! therefore recommends that a vote
! be taken at this meeting as to Wheth-

Chamber of Commerce. might state
| that the main reason given for the use
OF the word Greater is that it shows
| the organization is an amalgamntion
| Of che or more commercial bodies.
| This word has been used in several
cities of the mainland where ANAL
carnations have taken place of differ

many feel that the word, Greater
| should be included in the name to
show this fact There have been also
| several other reasons advanced why
the word, Greater should be used,
but the above seems to be the nrin'
cipal reason given. The committee
therefore request that a vote be taken
on this matter at the time the by
laws are formally adopted.
The committee has endeayored in
its work to provide bylaws which
will be best suited to the needs of
the larger organization and sincerely
trust that they will prove to be COM
