Plans for the early inauguration of
a freight traffic bureau in Brunswick,
a step suggested last week by A. Fen
dig and A. L. Church, are already
well under way, the Board Of Trade
having Immediately taken up the mat
ter with the business men of the

to meet the immediate requirements
have been worked out, and submitted
TO all shippers and receivers OF freight
In Brunswick, and great many fav-
orable replies have been received, Civ
ing approval to the project, and pledg-
ing the necessary financial support.
This plan includes the employment
OF an experienced rate clerk, who will
be at the service OF every business
man In the city, and will take care of
Brunswick's interests In all matters
pertaining to freight rates, and the
handling Of shipments. In addition
the rate clerk will, from time to time,
audit the bills OF lading and freight
