MARINE REVIEW. Won, V. CLEVELAND, OHIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1802. No. 18. The New Lake Carriers' Association. Through a great deal of earnest work on the part of M. A. Bradley, James Corrigan, Capt. Thomas Wilson and Harvey D. Goulder of Cleveland, and a willing acquiescence from the mem- bers of the Lake Carriers' Association and Cleveland Vessel Owners' Association, there was formed at Detroit on Thursday an organization:that will in future represent the common inter- ests of vessel owners in all parts of the lakes. With a guaranteed membership on the day of organization of about 550,000 net reg- istered tons,the new body can hardly fail to exert an influence far greater than that of the old associations. Although the name Lake Carriers' Association was retained and the organization perfected through an adjourned meeting of that body, it is a new organization in every sense of the term, based on a new con- stitution and formed for the purpose of taking up new work, principally that of maintaining shipping offices throughout the 'lakes. 'The new constitution and by-laws, printed in connection JAMES CORRIGAN, MANAGER. CLEVELAND PROMOTERS with this article, give in detail the aims of the new body and the laws that will govern its work, but it may be said in short that three committees, two having headquarters in Cleve- land and one in Buffalo, and all having power to act without de- lay, will conduct the active management. These committees are so arranged that Buffalo will rule in legislative matters and Cleveland conduct the shipping offices. The members of the _ general organization meet once a year, appoint a board of mana- gers of forty-five members, fix the rate of assessment to cover expenses and their work is atan end. Inthe board of managers the committees are selected and officers elected, and all that fol- lows is entrusted to the committees. The meeting in Detroit was attended by the following rep- resentatives of different lake cities: M.A. Bradley, Capt. 'Thomas Wilson, W. G. Mather, James Corrigan, H. D. Goulder, H. A.
