tW. FAIRBANKS FAVORS COMMERCIAL MERGER WRITES LETTER GIVING VIEWS TO CHAIRMAN HANCH. GENERAL ATTITUDE SHOWN Charles W. Fairbanks ha written a letter commending the plan for consolidating th commercial of the city in a chamber of commerce, This la one of many letters being received by- the cmmltte In charge of the mercer plans. The reneral attitude of approval which la indicated by the letters, leads the com mittee to feel that when the chamber la formally organised and the books thrown open for charter members, there will be a response whk-h will at once ruarantew the success of the Dew organization.

In his letter addressed to llanch. chairman of the consolidation committee, ifr. Fairbanks says: 'I hay not such familiarity with the details of the proposed plan of consolidating the civic and commercial bodies of tne city as to te able to make any specific comment on them. However. I am familiar with the general purpose and that I most heartily commend.

The concentration of eirt of the different civic and commercial bodies' will result. I am sure, in more direct food to the combined membership and to (he Interests of the city also than Is possible under the present plan. I sincerely hope thlKihe consolidation proposed will be effected," W. D. Allison's W.

a great organization, under the name at Charr.ber of Commerce, with all tbee Interests united under one head, but with departments to loos alter me special interests would save a duplication of effort and would accomplish a great deal more, in my estimation, by united co-operation than they woutd In any other way. The Influence from a body of this kind would be much greater than any ona organization or than all the organizations put together If they are not working; hand in hand.

The plan followed In most cities of the state of Issuing ice coupons, calling for twenty-five, fifty, seventy-five or one hundred pounds, both think contributes to dishonesty on the part of drivers of Ice wagons, and makes the housewife an easy prey.
