OAKLAND CLUB.
Special Committees Appointed to Advance
the Interests of the Town.


The work the Oakland Club pro-
poses to do, in addition to providing
ing attractive quarters for its mem
bers, will be in the hands of special
committees. These committees con-
sist of five members each and reports
| from them will be called for at every
regular meeting of the club-during
the first week of each month-but
the month named after each commit
tee below will be devoted to that
committee especially, and the chair
man will be held responsible for re-
port upon some subject bearing upon
the work of his committee. These re-
ports are expected to show what the
committees have done, what they
intend to do, and how they propose
to do it. These committees are ap-
pointed annually by the President,
and their actions are subject to the
approval of the Club. Their reports
will be discussed by the members and
such actions as they deem proper will
be taken.
