'Illrss Important llsliers Ills-lb cussed by the the Slate Blis- lusts loll’ s Association st flow Haven, Today NEW HAVEN. Jan. iii.—-Ons of the mmt largely attended meetings in the Association was held today. opening at 10 o'clock. Practically all of the 36 local associations were repruentod there being about 150 delegates pre- sent. Several matters of importance are on the program for discussion and rewarding to President Atweter the meeting probably will last all do. Among the important subjects broug I. up were those on insurance ratal. freight rates and the telephone. 10. Io. Graves. Bridgeport chairman of the special committee appointed by the association to investigate the tele phone Question. reported on the work of the committee and its finding. and A. M. r brought the fire insurv slice guest on before the delegates. All of these subjects were discussed by President Atwater In his annual report which in part was as foilewa . "When I was elected a year ago to the office of president I found an as- history of the State Business Men's ‘ sociatlon consisting of 24 local asso ciations, with a. total membership of about 3,000 members. Today I am proud and pleased to tell you that We have a state organisation consisting of 27 local associations with a combln. socialions in Guilford. Naugotuck and Wethersileld ' and plans have been made to organise other associations within a. short time. i regret to be obliged to report to you that one as. ”elation. namely Putnam seems to blive fallen from grace. and has not been identified with the state associa- tion in any way for the past two years Today without the Putnam delegation 164 delegates are entitled to seats at; our annual meeting .“We have. i think. had one f' the most prosperous years that th state urbanization has ever had. More im- portant matters than ever before have been brought to the attention of your State Board of Directors. You are all familiar with the work of the special committee appointed upon insurance matters as every [neli of this new cietion has hadrh report submitted to them by the dilnirman of the mmmib bee. The pésuits today are very grat- ifying but it is their desire to go fur- ther and; have the fire insurance busi- a more equitable basis. To bring about a change in this direction they have recommended legislation along at meeting unanimously approved of their recommendation. The commit. tee's aim has been to deal fairly and i think their report shows such to be the case. We ask the fire insurance companies to conduct their business so that they will be able to meet their obligations and not be wiped out by a disaster to any one city. The com- mitteein reference to the freight con- ditions have also rendered a report to the Board of Directors and in some ill- stanecs good results have been-obtain- ed through the conference held with the railroad officials and I venture to say that further benefits will be men dered to us all." Regarding the telephone question Mr. Atwnter said that this was of the gravest import to all the members. He says that he thinks the members should seriously consider the question before taking a decided stand in the matter. "The present telephone com- pany." he said, "ought to be able to meet the requirements of our business men throughout the state and I be- lieve that they already recognize the into that we are disposed to treat them fairly only expecting in return the very best; service and ill the, most’ res. sonabie rates " President Atwaher called attention to the large amount of clerical work the past year and recommended th the secretary be rccompcnsed for his expenses both clerical and othe lse which he is obliged to incur. The life of Rufus H. Jackson, of Hartford,a former president who died during the year, was referred to by President At- water in a. fitting manner and in con- clusion be thanked the members of his state board for their support while serving his term us build of the organ- ization. Mayor John B. Studley, of this city. made a short address to the business men at the opening session and it was followed by remarks by President R.
