man Hart be installed as permanent
president of the new association. The
motion was seconded and Captain Hart,
animously.

head was ineligible because the sub
scriptions for Shares had Scome from
the bank and not from Morehead as an

lie said "that If the association was nor
in too big q hurry to decide on the
grounds be might offer some property
himself, however, at the present time
he could not designate the exact loca-
ton, as he did not have enough per-
sopally and would have to offer his in
conjunction with other parties who
were now out of town.
In case he did offer any property he
would ask the association to relieve
him of being one of the directors.
Until that time he was willing to serve.
The question of location of the park
came up again and Mr.. Kneezell said
he thought the association would re-

to act.

board of directors take immediate steps

of closing the substitution books.
