that the routine business Of the

~ as possible as the members Of the
Chamber Of Commerce had been in
vited to be present at their regular
monthly meeting.
There were present fully thirty or
more members of the League. The
reports of the officers and OF the
standing committees were most inter-
esting and encouraging. Mrs. 7. j.

the special committee from the
League had had drawn up through the
kindness of the City Counselor and

visory committee recommended that

this way.
The Streets aud Alley Committee
reported that the City Council had
favorabIy passed upon the request of
that committee to have silence pla-
cards placed in the hospital zone, for
bidding all unnecse sary noises and
would have the request framed into
proper ordinance.
Several gentlemen from the Cham
Der of Commerce arrived at $3.50
O'Clock and a most interesting discus
sion of subject of most vital interest
and concern to the whole community
then followed. The garbage ques-
tion, city board of health, sewerage
question aud Improvements Of the
market were subjects discussed with
lively interest and with the result
that these matters will be taken up
in the near future by both bodies with
concerted Interest and action.
When the gentlemen alluded to
their having found some trouble to
get a quorum in the Chamber of Com
merce, the president suggested that
perhaps the only way to obviate that
difficulty would be for the women to
take the men into their organization,
which caused some merriment. The
meeting a ljourned about $3.50 O'Clock.
