BER OF COMMERCE TO ASSIST
HIM IN SECURING BETTER
QUARTERS.
A few months ago H. P. Henry
arrived in the city and announced
that he was going to opes c business
college here. This caused some sur-
prise as it was not thought an in-
st'tution of this characte- would be
a paying institution In the face of
the fact that a similar otift had just
suspended but he went rbout the
matter in a businesslike way and
now has enrolled fifty pupils with
more coming all the time.
He writes the Chambc of Com-
merce that he desires more suitable
quarters than he now occupies and
asks that the officers use their ef-
forts to secure a suitable building
on Main or "Washington street.
The matter will be taken up to-
night and his commun'catlon sub-
mitted to the Chamber of Commerce
for action. i
