and blue strips of bunting and ever
green. will be small indeed Quite .

money.

restaurant and give them nice little banquet

Mr.. Willis proposed that the committee be en-
larged 80 as to have enough 70 meet the visitors
as they arrived
Mr.. shipley thought that was coed, but they
must not spread out too much. He advised two
committees.

for finance, Mr.. Willis moved that the whole

agree On any one thing lLaughterl BE
thought they had better have q committee on
arrangements to determine whether they should
have banquet or what should be done to
especially entertain the guests.
After further conversation, Mr.. Korn thought
they had better keep matters simplifed as much
as possible. He favored keeping the financial
arrangements in the hands of the committee al
ready appointed.

structed TO meet with the committee OF the
Chamber of Commerce today and decide what
share each body was to take.
