-The board has the disposition- of
twenty odd dispensary Jobs and the
places on the board are naturally de

is a matter for speculation. As to
this the only thing that Is certain is
that there will b a change.
The objection to Mr. May was that
' he held a position in the fire depart

Correspondence ot The Observer:
- Durham. April " 1. The business
men pf the city are wrestling with the
problem of establishing a chamber of
commerce and getting on a business
basis to da work for the city. The
Iness men want an organisation that
will be a - working body and . at the
same time have club room with so
cial features that will be a place
wnere any member can carry a friend
or business man. To do this there
win have to be pretty heavy dues
and Initiation fees and this wtll knock
cut many who are now members and
destroy, in a measure, the democratic
principles of the organization
At a meeting last night the matter
was talked over and a committee of
li was appointed to prepare plans and
devise a scheme for carrying out
what Is desired, this committee to re
port at a meeting to be beld next
Friday night. The outcome of the
matter will be. It Is expected, to es
tabltsh a strong chamber of commerce
and. In addition, as an adjunct, es
tablish and organise something like
a business men s club.
