Before the report of the nominating COM
mittee was .read. Mrs. Hunt stated that "a
year ago the state of her health was such
as to prevent her actively engaging in the
work of the Unicn and she.had asked for
release of her duties as president. The
Union had not accepted her resignation but
had allowed her leave of absence tor.one
year for rest and recuperation. AS the
year had expired, she felt equally unable
to resume the Presidents work. and must
again ask for release. She referred to the
delightful relations that had for eighteen
years existed Eewteen her and the women
of the Union, and said though the official
relations should be broken, she would glad
" enter the ranks as private.
On motion of Mrs. French it was voted
that the Union express to Mrs. Hunt its
cordial sympathy for the causes that led
tosthe resignation; that it should never
fail to appreciate her noble work; that it
would always hold in loving remembrance
her devotion and pure hearted loyalty to
the cause of the Union. The committee
on nominations submitted the following
names as officers and vice presidents of the
Union, who were unanimously elected
President-Miss Cornelia M. Dow.

COM MlTTEES MEET.
Proposition to Widen Oak Street Again
Voted Down.

The committee on laying out new streets
met last evening to consider again the
project of widening Oak street. The COM
mittee had already decided not to widen;
but it was thought, in view.of the general
discussion, that this vote might be be re-
considered. The matter was not discussed
at great length. and the motion to recon
slider the former adverse action was defeat
ed three to two, Alderman Thompson and
Councilman Kent voting yes and AL
derman Peters and Councilmen llsley and
Mannix voting may. This renders it
probable that the street will not be wild
ened.
The committee having in charge the fire.
boat question also had meeting last eve
ming. The matter was considered at length
and the propositions that have been re-
ceived were examined. No conclusion was
reached.
