Mayor Hatch being present, was requested
to state why he had called this meeting to-
gether. He said that he had done so at the
request of the committee of ten citizens ap
pointed at the recent meeting, held in the
Catholic Institute. He did not know that
there was anything at present for this COM
mite to do, as he supposed the city authori-
ties would be able to maintain order and
protect the interests of the citizens.
A discussion of some length, by the mem
bers of the committee, showed that all were
satisfied with the action of the Central Com
mittee of the Home Guard, and that there
| fore there was no cause for action by this
meeting.
The Home Guard Committee were acting
quietly, judiciously, expressing no one, doing
justice to all and perfecting the security o.
the city. Yet it was deemed advisable tc
maintain this organization, as advisory to
that committee in case such advice should
be needed; therefore the following resolu
ton, offered by Mr.. King, was adopted by
general consent:
Resolved: That being satisfied, after full
inquiry, that the safety and interests of the
city are sufficiently protected by the civi
authorities, with the aid of the Home Guards
and its Central Committee, and that there il
no occasion for any other present action o
the citizens for the public safety that thi
meeting, when it adjourn, do adjourn suhjec
to be called together by the Chairman, eithe
on his own motion, or on the request of tn
delegation of any ward, the Mayor or th
President of the Central Committee.
| On motion, the wards that had not ye
elected members of this committee were re
quested to do so. The Committee then ad
journed.
