HOUSE OF A \SSEMBLY. APTERNOON SESSION.

Tuurspay, April 21.

McNutt, D. McKinnon, R. B. Norton.

His Worship the Mayor stated the object for which the meeting was called, and di- rected the meeting to appoint their chair- man. His Worship was then called to the chair, and the undersigned appointed secre- tary.

L. H. Davies, Esq., read a letter from the President of the Montreal D strict

Board of Trade, a copy of which appeared

a day o1 two ago in the Patriot, « The letter had been sent to him with the request that some action be taken in the.matter by the citizens of Charlottetown. rm Davies re- marked that it was not very creditable that a city like Charlottetown should have no representative Board of Trade.. it would be unnecessary to dilate upon the impert- ance of the subject. It has got to be yrappled with,and before it is finally solved there will be many such meetings in the Dominion. It is therefore necessary that we should have a representative body in the city, in order that we may be <ept in communication with the Boards of the Dominion. He hoped that some effort would now be taken to reorganize the old Board of Trade, and also to appoint dele- sates to attend the Trade Congress. Poli- ics will of course be excluded, and the ommercial interests of the country will ilone be represented. Reciprecity, Cum- nercial Union, and other important ques- ‘ions will no doubt be brought up for con- sideration.

Hon. D. Laird asked if the constitution and bye-laws of our old Chamber of Com- merce were available.

F. tf. Newbery, Esq., said he thought

hey were in the possession of Mr. P. 38.
