w. Thompson in the chair, and Mr. E. P. OConno
secretary.
Mr. Charles LYMAN chairman of the civic com
mittee stated that he had been requested to appea
before the executive committee and ask that the
define what shall constitute organizations belong
ing to the veteran committee, and what shall b
called civic organizations 1t has embarrassed
the civic committee somewhat, and they sough
enlightenment.
Nj. J. R. Thompson said that there wa
large veteran organization, some tw
thousand strong, coming from Pittsburg
and they desired to be received by veterans, ant
twas thought best to sclecta committee to recetv
and provide for them. He did not think Their
would be any difficulty in prescribing the dutle
of these committees The veterans would hav'
charge of the organizations composed OF UnloI
soldiers the military of ali those bearing arms
and the civic committee Of all other visiting Oh
CARNATIONS.
Mr.. Lyman stated the civic committee wa
largely composed of veterans and they had som'
feeling on the subject, believing the veteran
should be in their charge.
Mr.. Whitaker moved that the corresponding sec
rotary address letters to the chairmen Of the mill
duties of their respective committees.
Colonel Anger said he had anticipated that thi
trouble would come, and the civic association fee
that their grounds were being encroached upon
He thought that if it could be done the motion
creating the veteran committee should be recon
sidered He therefore moved as a substitute t
the uOllOH ot hnlllukeE THAT IcCOISlutl
the vote by which this committee was created.
Mr.. Barber thought it best TO refer the whole
subject to the chairman of the executive commit
tee for settlement, and offered an amendment tc
that effect.
Chairman Thompson said that if the matter wa:
left 10 him he should decide to allow the commit
tee to remain as constituted. The newly appointed
veteran committee had been notified of their Sc
lection and fixed upon the time OF meeting for TO
night 1t would be difficult task now to recall
that action.
Colonel Anger said that if he had been aware Of
that action he would not have made the motion
! and recalled il.
| The whole matter was referred to the chairman
and corresponding secretary of the executive COM
mittee, TO confer with the chairmen of the other
three committees for satisfactory settlement.
Chairman Thompson called attention to the fact
that time was passing rapidly, and that work must
! be begun in earnest; there was no time for de-
! lay fthey hoped to accomplish anything, they
must commence operations at once. He had di-
| rected Mr.. Cluss to bring in his estimates and
state the extent of the contracts, as there was no
| time TO lose.
On motion of Colonel Anger the chairman ofthe
meeting was authorized to give Mr.. CluSs, chair
man of the hall and promenade committee, such
instructions to proceed as he might deem neces-
Sary, especially in regard to the flooring Of the
| hall. The committee then adjourned.
