Shortly after the Council was called
to order, Mayor Young, during lull
in the proceedings, arose and stated
that Mr.. E. n. Cranz, secretary of the
Summit County Grange had informed
him that it was the desire of the Sum-
NIT County Grange to have the state
convention of the agricultural organi-
zation held in Akron and that it was
further desired that the Board of Com
missioners, the City Council, and the
Chamber of Commerce each appoint
committee to help secure the conven-
ton for Akron.
The members of the Council were
informed that committee of the State
Grange would meet in Columbus short
ly to decide upon place of holding the
convention. The time of the conven-
tian has already been set,--during the
week of Sept. 3. 1t was announced
that 1000 or more delegates usually
attend the state gathering.
President Fiebeger also stated that
he was informed that the officers of the
State Grange desired to hold the con-
vention in Akron this year, and that
but little effort would be required on
behalf of Akron citizens to induce the
committee at Columbus to decide in
her favor. The only objection, Mr..

After the convention committee had
been appointed, Mr.. ]. Fl. Andrews, su
perintendent of the Akron Mills of

marks regarding the proposed Perkins

that the Council postpone action for
the present on the matter; If possible

terfere with the improvement of the
street. Councilman Markham moved
that the matter be referred to the Com.
