The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-06-21

everybody knew what the object OF the
meeting was. He thought that In order
to start the ball rolling the chairman
should appoint committees to look AFTER
the various departments of the celebra-
ton. He thought. perhaps, that by
moving the appointment OF a commit
tee of five. to act In a general way,
would open the way for other sugges-
tons. -
]. r. Casey thought II would be well
for the chair to appoint several COM
mittees to take charge OF the various
parts of the programme.
Mayor Lesser said that IL was MS
opinion that the matter ought to be
fully discussed before the committees
were appointed. The more views ex-
pressed the more ideas would come
forth. Before the committees were APP
pointed. the meeting ought to talk the
matter over fully.
Rod Williams was called upon TO ex-
press his views. He said that he
thought IL would be a good idea to ap-
point the committees The most I'M
portant committee. said he. would De
the finance committee. and TINS COM
mittee should be selected with care.
Mayor Lesser did not kno what the
programme OF the celebration would
be. There ought to be a parade,
speaking. fireworks. sports, music ana
other things, and he thought the bet
ter way would be to nave a committee
for each one of these details. The
meeting could best decide this by fully
discussing II.

citizens from each var to act as a

cordance with Mr.. Dalton's suggestion,
that the committee on finance be APP
pointed.
Mr.. wisner named the committee as
above set forth.
Mr.. Davidson thought that the gen.
eral committee had better be reduced
from five TO three. as three men could
ceraing attend to the duties devolving
upon the general committee.
Joseph Mcdonald did not agree with
MIR, Davidson. He believed that there
ought 10 be enough men to do the work.
Seven committeeman, thought he. would
not be too many, n he therefore
moved that the chair name seven to act
as a general committee.
As a suggestion. MIR. Davidson said
that the seven members of the general
committee be appointed by wards-one
from each OF the six wards and one
committeeman-at-large.
TIL motion was carried and the chair
appointed the general committee. as
stated.
Judge Fitzpatrick moved that a com
mittee on fireworks be appointed. on
which Rod Williams should act as chair
man. Rod, said the judge. would be a
mighty good man on that committee,
