BOARD OF TRADE.
"7'o Me Editor of Clihlon _Yew 'Erce:`
Doan Siii,=,( noticed 'the very pertinent
enquiry in your columns some weelks._ago,
asking why it was that aboard of, trade was
not organized_ in this town, and am sorry
that no action has been taken in the matter.
Every one must admit that the time has come
when su-e-ain;oeganization should exist here.
Permit me to encroach upon your space in
shortly stating bow useful and important an
institution a board of trade could be made.
I ,aim aware that there exists at present a
committee of citizens to guard the interests
of our town, and I wish to assure those gen-
tlemen that anything T say is -not intended
to reflect upon the:manner in Which they
discharge their duties.; 'knew that the high-
est, praise:is duo them for. •their efficient and
.watchful care for the interests of Clinton;
.and we own to their energy advantages we.
are, now enjoying, and'.I hope soon, to see
those gentlemen exercising their influence by
the improved machinery. of ,a board of trader
It is,a noticeable fact that a very dangerous
feeling of-security.prevaile.amongst' our citi-
zene, relying' upon the.i advantageous geo-

Mistiness' men to beware of trsgsting too -much
in these advantages, while we aro 'rejoicing
in our strength,.sarrounding towns bemoan-
ingtheir,weakness, may be using every means
in their -power to secure' by hard work what
they lack in natural and acquired advantages.
While we are alive to our superior . advan-
tages, let ns be ever •looking for others. I
think, tliat the business "men ot the town
Should unitein disenesingmatters of interest,
at regular zgeetinge, for in such discussions'
woiila bo found the' superiority of a regularly

t I know '
of towns where the board trade' as greater

time the board does not all trench upon the
duties of the council. 'Now, men of,Cli.aton,
in this 'great and rich'county of Huron, any
one with the least foresight can see. that in
the future,and not .very far distant future,
there is to grow a large. and prosperous city,
• and' -with the advantagesnatural and acquir-'
'ed, which Clinton has it is the duty every
I. loyal citizen to work tooth: and nail to'seoure•
the prize, and I think .that One .groat factor in
advancing ' our interests would !tea Beal live
board of trade; -no lukewarm, half dead con-
cern, but one in which every business man
must be co -/indleil to unite heart and soul by
force of public opinion existing in the place,
and h would suggest that a public;meeting of
the Citi sus be palled at, an early day, at
which a board be duly.organized'.and, put in
