The Improvement Association OF John
ston will hold its semi-monthly meeting at
the engine house Wednesday evening OF
this week. Much work has been outlined
by the association, hut the sentiment pre-
walls that efforts contemplated have not
been put forth at the meetings TO ac-
complish desired results. From the pro-
positions made thus far and committees
appointed to push various projects IL
would appear that the financial town
meeting Is the citadel to be stormed.
Various ways OF reaching this meeting
so that the passing needs of the town
may be met have been suggested, but
uone that appear more feasible than the
plan suggested by the president OF the
Council, Mr.. Beane, at the conference some
weeks ago. This plau which has since
been endorsed by a mum Der OF officials
and Others Is that In some manner TO be
determ ined committee be appointed to
consider the requirements of the various
sections and give such as are reasonably
demanded, accommodation for favor
able consideration at the financial meet
ing. 1t has been suggested that the I'M
provement Association might discuss
this plan at its meeting Wednesday even
ing. Unless the electors can clearly
show in the financial meeting what Is
wanted by a board in which they have
full confidence, they will not feel in
clined to do anything except indefl-
nitely postpone whatever resolution calls
for an appropriation.
