Main and McMillan, owners of the steamer George Barnard for the Chamber of Commerce of the city of New York to study once again the use of steamers on the canals.

Main and McMillan stated that they had solved the problems and thus asked the chapter to appoint an Examining Committee. Not in OCLC. (Inventory #: 27647)
