In tbe regular order of tbe board, K. C. Clellaud waa elected

a member.

Mayor Champion reported that Superintendent Lovell, of tbe West Jersey, a.ked him to- pot lo writing tbe requests made by tbe board for permission lo place a buteau of publicity at tbe .teamboat lauding aud racks on tbe boats on which to place Ocean City booklet*, and ba (Hr. Lovell) would reply In writing, granting

tbe requests.

Mr. Kdward. aaked the Mayor concerning tbe maintenance of the bureau

of publicity.

Tbe Mayor answered that be understood tbe railway company will fur-

nish a man.

It waa stated that tbe trolley company Inlands to have booklets, or foldera, prmlsd and distributed. R. W. Kdward. waa appointed a committee ef one to ace tbe trolley ro»d ofllclala, ascertain wbat I bey are going to do and

request baste.

H. A. W. Smith reported that six or eight hotel, would have Raster advertisements In Philadelphia .newspapers under tbe city's “ad.” W. Scott Hand suggested that one hundred copies be purchased from each of tbe two local pa|era every week from this lime uutll June 1st, tbe paper, to be sent lo collagen who may not be subscribers aud to other places where good may come therefrom. A. J. Smith, Mayor Champion, W. R Wick, I. S. Champion and other, favored tbe Idea, which, on mollou. was adopted Mr. Hand was appointed a committee to attend lo tbla bualneas. Postmaster Sutton reported that be had seen tbe chief clerk-of tbe railway mall service, who told him It would be Impossible for tbe Philadelphia morning newspapers lo get their papers attbe wharf In time to catch tbe early train. If tMTRcacITog would run a boat arrow., the papers and mail could catch tbe S o'clock tram ou tbe Reading Railroad, and be In Oedan

W. Scott Hand was of tbe opinion that It would be wall 10 sand booklets to tbe Stale bankers' meeting soon to be held lo Atlantic City; also to tbv auto meet In that city. The board adjourned to meet lu regular sees Ion again In two weeks.

Thursday evening, that Trade go on record as opposed to a trolley line across tbe bay from Ocean City to Somers' Point. Subsequently, after several members bad spoken agslnst such action at this time, tbe Mayor withdrew bla motion On motion of William R. Wick, It was decided Ibal tbe Bo .rd of Trade's Railroad Committee he delegated to aacert.tn everything possible In relation to tbe proposed line and report al tbe next meeting of tbe board. There appeared lo be quite a division of sentiment among tbe members and visitors at tbe meeting aa to tbe good aud bad effect, of a trolley line

across tbe bay.

Following tbe board's custom, visitor. were aaked to express their opinion on variou. subjects of Interest. Among those called upon were' Gen. K. W. Warren He .aid that be came to Ocean dty from Piitladelpbta three years ago with tbe purpose of remaining three months He baa been here ever since, and would nut return to Philadelphia to live If be were offered house rent free. H Is Interests centred In tbe bay, from which he gets bis

chief enjoyment.

General Warren s|ioke In blgb praise of Ocean Clty’a exotflent water, One streets, etc., and aald tbe taxes are moderate. There are many business people lu Philadelphia, be was sure, who would come lo Ocean City to live tbe whole year If the dty bad a onehour train between Philadelphia and j Ocean City, and they would be good, 1 substantial people.
