MIR. Hornick, the election of directors
to fill the vacancies created by the re-

that that organization had rendered the
free use of its elegant apartments on
Third street for the use of the associa-
ton as its headquarters. Some object
ions were made to the Metropolitan, on
the ground that it was not sufficiently
central. These, however. were over
ruled by the majority, who held that
the location of the proposed headquart-
ers-away from the center of the town
was an advantage rather than other.
wise. The matter was finally laid on
the table for consideration at the next
meeting. 1t was decided to raise by
subscription sum of $4,000 additional
to the $4,000 appropriation. Each menu
Der of the board is made responsible for
a certain portion of the amount to be
collected. Ii is anticipated that no diff
ficulty will be experienced in raising
the necessary amount. 1t was decided
that regular meetings of the board be
held every Friday at 4:30 D.. NJ, or
oftener if deemed necessary by the pres
ident, who will call special meetings
when necessary.
