A Good Suggestion
One more thing that | noticed and I |
will close. Iowa has a state band. for. !
eign nations seEd bands here. subsidized 4
by the public. These bands are sup I
ported by the public TO furnish innocent 4
pleasure 20 the public. They give open /
air concerts with varied program 20 /
suit different tastes. Why cannot We do i
this. We can raise money Tor monu. /

not have city band 20 play in some 81
Dur parks FOR the public betietitg Do
