J. King. Secretary Henry W. Tibbits road the call of the meeting 2nd then President King addressed the meeting, laying much stress upon the accomplishments of the civic body since its orgarization and also of the honorable record achieved. President King said: As president of the Board of Trade I deem it fitting at this time to make a brief statement of the reccrd of our organization since its formation and to call to your attention a few of its achievements. The purpose of this meeting is to decide whether or not our Board of Trade shall vote to terminate its cor- porate cxistence, and as he purpose of our orgarization has zlways been to promote the welfare of our city, we should vote on this question with that one purpose In view. First Meeting in 1886. The first meeting for the purpose of orzanizing the Norwich Board of Trade wah held June 19, 1896. At that meet- ing the fullowing gentlemen were pres- ent: H. H. Osgood, Solomon Lucas, A. H. Prewer, Jonathan Trumbull, L. W. Carpenter, Adam Reid, Charles Bard, W. H. Shields, John T. Brown. G. C. Raymond, F. Mitchell, M. M. Whit- temore, 1. N.

It would n the short time at {my disposal to recall to your minds all of the activities of the Board of Trade the 30 vears of its exjstence, 1 e to call to your atten- n some of its active work in recent Advecated Highway Improvement. The Boa of Trade has always ad- vocated the permanent improvement of our hi and it is only by continuous perseverance that such im- provements = . Our high- | ways have been much improved and plans are under way for further im- vement. e Board of Trade took an early and active part in preventing the di. vision of our town, and is entitled to a of credit for the ult Board of Trade, by its efforts as ation. and through the worl of its members, was instrumesptal in raising the funds necessary to locate the Thermos 3ottle company in Nor- wich—an indusiry thai has added much to our industrial development. The Board of Trade rooins have al- ways been a convenient meeting pince for committees engaged in work of clvic betterment, and they Lave been cordially invited to make use of them. For such purposes they have been used almost_weelkiy. I could easily enumerate other ac- tivitles of the Board of Trade, all of which tended toward the betferment of Norwich, but I do not think it neces- sary. I have not mentioned the above facts with any thought of preventing or even opposing the consolidation of our two local organizations; but rather for the purpose of showing that our record has been an honorabie one and for the far- ther purpose of causing a thorough dis- cussion of the imp t question that is before us tonigh Ex-Mayor Murphy Favors Consolida- tion, BEx-Mayor Timothy C. Murphy said there is no doubt much time and labor was spent by those gentlemen named by President King, without any com- pensation, but times have changed. A new organization has arisen, the Chamber of Commerce, and it does seem to me that for the best intsrests of the city we sbould have one organ- ization, he continued. Better work ca be accomplished if we consolidate and, therefore, 1 make a motion that the Norwieh Board of Trade dissolve. The motion was seconded by General William A. Aiken. Louis M. Crandall stated that in his- tory we have found the pecple of Con- necticnt ready to give up their lives and that they ought to be willing to D. in expressing his views on the matter. Like leaving the old home which has been surrounded with pleasures, but as a new home, and so are we prog along. I am very mu consolidation. General Aiken said the Trade has done a lot of sood things and ha: de some mistakes, but ev- ery organization is liable to do the same thing. It seemed to me socn af- ter the new organization came Into ex- istence it was gofng to he a question of time when both would consolidate. No city except the larger ones can maintain two organizations without rivalry, and therefore lose part of tho effect. ' It seems to me the step tow- ards consolidation is a wise one.
