heavy load, and meeting was suggested
to talk matters over in all informal man

only object of the meeting, notwithstand
ing all reports to the contrary, as tho
board felt themselves entirely competent
to deal with the matter, providing sufii-
Gent funds could be raised. Only a few
attended the meeting, and while sever.

called. and for that purpose alone.
