MIRA KOLAR
Abstract
Senj had to get their Chamber of Commerce and Trade as far as 1868 while still on the inside of the Border-land. But because of some controversies as regards the territory of the Chamber, it was founded only in 1875, just at the time when the transition on a steam-ship navigation had already started to take place and when its commercial significance started to loose its importance because of the rail-way-track construction of Rijeka in 1873. The difficulties of the first years had been successfully prevailed either in the sense of personnel or finances. So, the Land Government at Zagreb and the Chamber of Commerce and Trade of Zagreb and the competent Ministries, all started to respect the views of their councillors. The task of the Chamber was to take care of the Border and littoral territories, while the problems of Senj itself additionally complicated the problems in which the Chamber was engaged. Thanks to Sebald Cihlar, who at first was inofficially and then officially the secretary of Chamber, several reports were published as early as at that time. The Chamber was important for the formation of the territorial sphere of interest for Senj, which was certainly reflected not only in the economy, but in the politics as well.
