Board of Trade Directors to
Consider Several Matters
Tonight Railroad Situation

Cooperating with the people OF
rTottenville and welcoming them into
the local Board of Trade and working
with them on the many problems
common to both, together with other
Interesting matters, will be taken up
at the directors meeting OF the Board
OF Trade tonight.
Through their chairman, B. Will
liams, the Tottenville' committee ex-
pressed its desire Of becoming a part
of tho local organization and working
with 1t in matters OF interest to the
two places.
An effort win be made to secure boat
passenger service between this city
and New York. The matter has al
ready been taken up with some boat
corporation. Boat passenger service
between here and New York, 1t is be-
lieved, would mean a great deal to
the people travelling between this city
and the metropolis, particularly dur
ing the summer months.
The matter of raising funds for the
establishment OF the nautical school
will be discussed. In getting this nau-
tical school started here, which Is
backed by some of the biggest men In
the country, this city will be able TO
gain much publicity and, in turn, will
make this city a greater shipping port.
1t Is expected that some means OF
raising the funds for the establish
ment of this school will be decided
upon.
