payers and citizens at the meeting held
| In the Crescents' hall last evening for the
purpose of organizing the West side.

IL. GIlluly was elected chairman and
James f. Murphy secretary.
Chairman GilIuly made a strong ad-
dress and explained the objects OF the
proposed organization. He said that
the feeling in favor OF forming such an
| organization was very strong, as the
general opinion among merchants and
taxpayers In the western district was that
their section was not treated properly in
the matter OF public improvements. He
stated that the new organization was not
intended to be antagonistic to any other
| association in town, but those who are
| pushing the matter think there Is
| ample field for It's labors.
Remarks OF similar nature were made
