o 



action is taken. At the last meeting of 

 the exchange, a resolution providing for 

 the selection of a new location was pre- 

 sented by Owen M. Bruner. The matter 

 was referred to the board of directors to- 

 report at the next meeting. In the mean- 

 time Mr. Bruner is getting signers to a 

 petition asking that the change be made. 

 One of the arguments in favor of the re- 

 moval to a location in the neighborhood 

 of Broad and Chestnut streets, by those 

 who wish the change, is that within a 

 radius of four squares of that corner,, 

 thirty-nine of the 115 members of the ex- 

 change have their offices.

(Special Correspondence.) 



Louisville, Ky., Oct. 21. 1904. 

 Messrs. Turner Wells and William C. 

 Taylor of Frenchburg, Menifee County, 

 Kentucky, have completed arran.gements 

 for the construction at Paris, Bourboa 

 County, of a |50,000 planing mill and lum- 

 ber plant. The mill will employ 100 men 

 and will be of modern pattern. These 

 men own four mills in the mountains and 

 the Paris mill is designed to rehandle 

 lumber from the other mills. Paris was 

 chosen because of the beneficial freight 



rates from that point.

 be considered at the meeting of the board 

 of directors next month and steps will be 

 taken to raise money for that purpose.

 to all lumbermen in the city.
