These gentlemen all spoke on the
probability OF the organizations they
represented turning out in the parade.
Some mentioned the fact that although
the bodies they belonged to had taken
no action 1t was only because they had
no time to meet since receiving invita-
tions. They did not doubt, however,
when they did meet they would decide
IN ioin in the nrocegslon.
Mr.. Cruise said that the time was
short and that something must be done
Immediately If it was expected to make
a success out OF the celebration. Only
twenty-five days remained for work.
To get things into shape and have some
definite object in view he moved that
arrangements be made for a monster
turnout on the 21st OF October.
MIR. Muegge moved to designate it "in-
dustrial and historical" parade.
Mr.. Cruise accepted the amendment,
and the motion was carried.
Mr., Farrell thought the surrounding
towns which had not provided for a cell
ebration ought to be invited to partici-
pate. He merely made the suggestion.
The committee having the matter in
charge could use its own judgment
Mr.. Emsheimer thought the sugges-
ton was a very good one.
On motion Of Mr.. Cruise Mayor Sea-
bright in the chair a committee Of
three was appointed to select the stand
ing committees, consisting Of finance,
invitation, chief marshal and assist
ants, transportation, to report imme-
diately. The chair appointed the fol-
lowing: Frank Cruise, F. P. Jepson
and W. A. SChambra.
A recess was then taken to allow the
committee time to accomplish its work.
While the committee was out those re-
naming were entertained by Mayor
SeabriGht and Senator Joe Emsheimer.
