An. other milestone in our city's history has been passed, and T am sure it is | with pardonable pride that we con— virtual is be. f es, zation has played in the wonderful progress Lakcland has made during 1914, Few of us fully appreciate to what extent an active Board of Trade such as ours Influences every phase of any city or town, as well as the country surrounding them. In looking back over the results of the past year's work, I am sure that we should not only feel well satisfied, but highly gratified at the results obtained by these efforts, and we should be stimulated to ever greater efforts for the coming year. The progress of our Boarg since its re- organization a couple of years ago, | has been phenomenal, and such that any city, of even a much larger pop+ |ulation, might well be proud. This has been accomplished only by per= sistent, and constant hard work, sometimes with discouragements that seemed almost unsurmountable But with determination born of true men and patriotic citizens we have pushed on and the results speak for themselves.

I also de:ire to recommend that the name of the Lakeland Board of Trade be changed to that of the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce, as in my opinion this would be more appropriate, considering the objects of the organization. I would be derelict in my duty while discussing the work per- formed by the Board during the past year if I did not mention the very mportant part ouwr efficient secre . tary has taken in all that has been done.
