value of the clubs property. He says:
The garbage wharf Is but 100 yards or
so above the boat house, where many peo-
pie, both ladies and gentlemen, are accus-
toned to gather in the afternoon. At times

protests. I trust and hope that this will
fare better and that we shall have early
action in the premises"
