many projects are being brought np
at tba present tine for the develop-,

suggestion which I would like to'
make for the consideration of your
It to this: Why not ocgaats? a
unions or'this kind In ot 1
cities sAd they are of great benefit,
noi only to the clerks who work In
?tores, but to the merchants and
other residents of the city as weH.,
1 understand that there arc one j
two merchants la the city who
wMl not clone their doors .promptly
at eleven o'clock Saturday nights 1
V this store-clerks ot the various
business establishments wero united.,
they would regulate this matter
themselves and there would b-* 'no!
?further grounds for complaint or '
diarsatlsfaltion. Then too, 1 beltuve
It woald be a Rood thing If the
clerks were given* a half-holiday
once a weok during the summer
months. This Is- -being done at
Elizabeth City and other cities in
the State and ot tty* IMKhanu
are lo?lng t^Mg hJllOd^or it.
