that portion Of the programme be gotten
through with as soon as possible.

thought provision should be made to
have the dinner in the depot
Mr. Sheehan suggested that committee
be sent to DaVisville, or further, to meet
the visitors.
Edgar Carroll thought that all the sug-
gestlons made were good. In view of the
tact that the newspaper people were going
to spend only three hours in the city. not
moments time should be lost They
were observant and inquisitive people,
and they can learn and see great deal
even though they were here but a short
time.
Mr.. Tebbets thought the committee had
better drop the proposition OF taking them
to Suffers Fort. The roads We're bad.
and it would take one hours time to drive
them out there in carriages.
w. A. Anderson suggested that the
Mayor call the Executive Committee to.
gether this evening.
II. G. Irvine believed the wishes of the

like to see the old relic, Suffers Fort. and
