 Another problem must shortly have the earnest attention of our business men. In 1929 the New England governors asked some thir- ty representative business men of our six states to consider the trans- portation needs and facilities of New England in relation to our agricul- tural and industrial development.

The period of the committees stud les has been characterized by the ac- quisition of increasing stock interest in one of our railroads by one of the great trunk line systems, by the proposal of another trunk line that 1t be allowed to acquire complete control of our second largest rail- road. and by proposals of some of our own people for division of our railrads among four trunk lines.

It will, iE the long run, be quite as hurtfui to New England industries to neg lect this problem as those of pro- auction and marketing whose rela- tionship to sales and earnings are perhaps more apparent but in the longtime view no more vital to con- tinuing industrial prosperity.
 "The appropriate committees of the council are ready, and have been for some months, with practical pro- grams for the initial procedures nec- essary to progress toward the solu- ton of these problems.

State, but in 1843 Spanish padres were
once more placed irD possession Of San
Jose and still maintained services here
regularly.
In 1884 a new and modern structure
was erected for seminary for noviees
studying for the priesthood. Later this
was placed in cllarage Of the Domini-
can siSterhood to be used as an orphan
asylum and as such 1t is still used.
Among the relics in possession of the
mission are two of the bells that hung
in the first structure. These date back
to 1915 and 1926. The timbers upon
which they are hung are tied together
with rawhide. The old baptismal font
too, is still used; this is of hammered
copper, three feet in diameter and is
surmoCnted by an iron cross some eight
inches in height.
In spite Of its name, this mission is
situated, not in the actual city of San
Jose, but some little distance from the
town, over the foothills toward San
Francisco Bay.
