At the Business Men's Association meeting, directors urged raising salaries for all government clerks to match rising living costs. They also formed committees to confer with Commissioners on objections to the smoke law, plan removal of a low brick wall around Botanic Gardens, and study the Brightwood Electric Railroad.
