WEST INDIA WEATHER SERVICE. The following resolutions recently passed .by the Key West (Fla.) Board of Trade have been sent to the Leader for publication. The matter of which they treat is of great importance, and especially so to vessel owners and mer chants engaged in foreign or coast shipping, lt might be well for the Board of Aldermen to consider the matter at their meeting to-morrow night: Key West, Fla. Dec. 4. 1893. Whereas, During that period ot each yea; included between July 15th and October 25th, known as the "hurri cane months," tropical Ftorms, fre quently of great violence, develop within the tropics over the West Indies and Caribbean Sea, sweep northward striking the Gulf or A tlantic seaboard, causing incalculable loss rb both life and property in the States bordering on the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlan tic Ocean, as illustrated during the season just passed, on August 27th at Savannah, Ga., and Beaufort, S. C, and October 2nd at New Orleans, when thousands of lives were lost and property to the amount of several millions of dollars destroyed, and Whereas, Since these tropical cy clones develop and move under certain natural laws, it is possible, in most cases, to give ample warning of their approach if sufficient and timely re ports are received from the West Indies. While recognizing and aD proving the efforts of our National Weather Bureau in this direction, it is known that this valuable service is hampered through lack of means to place the West India service on a prooer footing. Ins therefore- Resolved, That it is the sense of this board that every effort should be made to have Congress appropriate a suffi cient amount out of the National Treasury to re-organize and perfect the West India weather service, and to carry tho same on, each year, on a thorough, systematic plan. In view of the fearful losses sustained bv the States along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, the amount which would have to be appropriated would be nominal. It is further Resolved, that bur Representatives in Congress be urged to give this their earnest attention. They are also re quested to give their Influence and support to any measure or estimates sent in by the U. S. Weather Bureau, looking to the re-organization and maintenance of the West India weather service. And it is further Resolved. That copies of these. reso lutions be sent to every Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce of all the Drincipal cities in the States bordering on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, from New York to Texas, and that they be requested to take similar action in this matter, which is of such vital importance to the entire country east of the Mississippi. Also that a copy be furnished the chief of the weather bureau. Peter A. Williams, President, G. Bowne Patterson, Sec. Key West Board of Trade. CHRISTM AS AT SHALLOTTE.
