ALAUDABLE PLAN.

LAUDABLE PLAN.
A short time since the hremsn's
Brass Band proposed to the City
Council that il Music Stand were
erected on the grsss square at the
City Hall corner, they would deVste
an evening each week to an Open
air concert or an out door rendition
Of their selections for the public dlr
version; the committee TO whom
this proposition was referred have
cons idered the matter favorably ana
at the coming session will make
something like the following report;
that stand be erected on the grass
plat, that suitable seats be provided
surrounding the stand, the whole to
cost ii the neighborhcod OF 500 and
! that the several bands OF the city De
invited to play there on one or more
evenings of each week. This acton
will recommend itself to every citi-
zen who Is St all inclined to music
it is to be hoped that the various
bands will respond to the invitation,
as the affair can be made much
more interesting if a friendly COM
petition is created, than as if the
playing were CT mined to one organ
ization.
