NEW YORK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Messrs. P. Keteltas, R. R. Waddell, and Joseph Bull, the Committee, reported that they had audited Mr. Walton's account, and that there remained £215 15s 9d in his hands, and the Arrears for that year is £59 2S.
Mr. Moore's Proposal for abolishing the Quarterage heretofore paid, was carried by a great Majority.
Ordered-That the Money in the hands of the Treasurer be put out at Interest on such Security as the President, Vice-Presidents and Treasurer shall approve of.
Ordered-That the President for the time being Keep the Seal of this Corporation in his possession.
Whereas the Reduction of Jersey Money to its real Value was thought necessary by this Chamber and carried into a Resolution to receive and pay a Jersey £3 Bill for £3 4s and no more. It is conceived this Regulation will be grievous to some Individuals, and as this Chamber [is] moved by just principles, I can not but conclude that each Member will readily bear an equal proportion of the Burthen. I therefore move that each Member of this Corporation shall and may Receive Jersey money (for Outstanding Debts that now are or shall become due the Ist September next only) at the rate of ££3 5s for a Jersey &3 Bill until the Ist May, 1773, and pay such Jersey £3 Bill at &3 4s, and bring in an Account attested of such difference, and that whatever Loss may arise on the receiving and paying such Money, shall be equally borne by all the Members of this Corporation.
JOHN THURMAN, Jun'r.

Whereas, a number of the Members of this Chamber were not present at the time the Vote was carried for

reducing Jersey Money, and as most of the Merchants who do not belong to it are warmly opposed to altering the present mode of receiving it, by which means a num- ber of the Chamber will be evident sufferers, I move the matter may be reconsidered.
