WELLINGTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The council of the Wellington Chamber iof Commerce met yesterday afternoon. Mr. J. T. Martin presided. Tho secretary of the Auckland chamber wrote that .hie chamber had set up three separate committees to study waterside employment, profit sharing, auid income tax problems. For the inter•change of information he suggested that the Wellington chamber should set up similar committees. The letter was merely "received,” as 'the meeting apparently considered that tho study of the problems named and the interchange of information could bo carried out without the establishment of ' committees. As the Ixxly which convened the National Highway Conference in 1915, the Taumarunui chamber invited the Wellington chamber to appoint a delegate to ' a conference regarding the route of the proposed national highway from Wellington to Auckland. The Taumarunui chamber explained that the conference was to be held on September 15, "in view of the threatened' deviation of the highway from the almost universally accepted route through the middle of the North Island to one via the West Coast." The meeting decided to send a delegate if the attendance of one could be arranged for in time. 0*
