Members of iht C&amber-of C(mtnerss:: l' :'- GbstZiEWEK :- The annual meeting ! of the Chamber, again brings us together, after the passage pf another year, during 'which the business ef the world has continued to exhibit the general depression which t pre vailed the previous year. Great disaster, having been prevented by ; the cautious movements otthe wmimerclal and manu factunng interests; we have reason to hope thattbe syniptomsrtjf improvement which . bow exisC may result in a revival that will give a more cheerf ol Outlook for the future. - The business of Wilmington ; during the past year has not been equal to that of the previous year in volume,; but compares favorably with that , of other : ports, being much better than some : while We have not done as much as hoped for,' we have cause to be thankful that we have had a full share. . - - . During the last session of the State Leg islature a very favorable charter was ob tained for the Wilmington, Onslow & East Carolina Railroad Company. Some progress has been made toward an organization of the Company and the same will no doubt be consummated before the close of the pre sent year. The acknowledged advantages of this road, and its need being evident-to this and other communities along the pro posed route, assures its early construction. The extension of the Cape Fear & Yad kin Valley Railroad to Mount Airy is pro gressing, and will no doubt be completed to that point at an early day. It is to be hoped that the movement to make the ocean terminus of said road-at Wilmington will result in the building of the extension from Fayetteville to this point without further delay. Our citizens should and probably will, see that it is consummated. The con nections that will be made by this road will open to us communication through South western Virginia, West Virginia and North eastern Kentucky, with Ohio and the North western States.. . An extension of the Carolina Central Rait road has been commenced; the same will run across the State to the Cranberry iron mines, in Mitchell county, where" it will con nect with a system of railroads thTOUgh.'East Tennessee and Kentucky to the Northwest, placing the same in closer connection with Wilmington than with any other seaport. The city of Wilmington, in its corporate capacity,, will be justified in assisting the, building of all roads, calculated to In crease the business or reduce the cost of maintenance pf its present and increased population. Any additional taxes conse quent to the rendering of such aid will be. more than offset by the increase of property and other subjects of taxation, also making' employment for its citizens. F - - The failure of Congress at its last session to pass the River and Harbor bill has re tarded work on the lower Cape Fear river and bar. Since the last annual 'meeting of this Chamber, channels have been opened over the shoals which admit of eighteen feet draught of water being carried from Wilmington to Smithville on ordinary high water and twenty feet on full spring tides. It is hoped that at the next session of Con gress an appropriation will be made equal to the" full amount estimated by the U. 8. Engineer Corps as being requisite to in crease the channels to the proper width, and the bar to a sufflcient.depth, complet ing the project of sixteen feet at low water, eighteen feet on ordinary high tides and twenty feet on full tides' from Wilmington to the sea, and fully protecting the work, so as to insure permanency to the results ob tained. Since the last annual meeting death has taken from us one of the original members of this Chamber in the person of Mr. Ed ward Kidder -one whom all could confi dently recognize as a true friend. Mr! Kidder attained the position of a high toned merchant at the commencement of his commercial career, maintaining the same until his death ; at that time being the oldest merchant in this community. Suc cessful in business he freely used his means to advance the prosperity of his adopted home and in relieving the neces sities of others. At a meeting of the Executive Council, held the seventeenth of September last, I filed my resignation as President of this Chamber, which position I have held du ring the past nine years, the same t j take effect this day. Thankful for the conside ration extended me in the past, I shall in the future hold you in high remembrance. Respectfully submitted, "A. H. VahBokkelkn, President. On motion the report was ordered to be entered upon the minutes and copies fur nished to the daily papers with a request for publication.
