THE w0MEN'S CIVIC LEAGUE.

a Set of Bylaws and Transacted
Other Business.

league, held a very successful meet
Ing at the city hall Friday afternoon.
The attendance was not as large as
it should have been which was I'M
doubtedly due to the fact that the
time OF meeting had recently been
changed and that the change was
not widely known. Nevertheless
there were a number present who
took an active interest in the trans
action OF the business which came
before the meeting.
The president, Mrs. c. B. Buchanan,
after rapping for order called for the
reading OF the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting which were approved.
Mrs. E. NJ. Hoover and Mrs. F. h.
Nero, the committee appointed to
draw up q set OF bylaws, were first
to report. After a careful considera-
ton. the following bylaws were

The committee appointed to con-
fer with the Electric & Water COM
pany as to the practicability OF ex-
tending the present system OF water
works to the cemetery gave report
in the negative in connection with
such an undertaking. Mr.. Berkey,
president of the company, said that
after running pipes up to the yard
the distance was 80 great that there
would be no force, so the only thing
left for the league to do is to erect a
wind mill.
Mrs. VIM. Hall and Mrs. G. H.
Brown were appointed as a com
mittee to investigate as to the cost
of such an apparatus.
Mrs. O. G. Trace and Mrs. G. w.
Massey, the committee appointed to
confer with the owners OF the

league the right to dispose OF the
lots, also reported. Their report was
accepted and a contract they pre-
sented laid on the table for further
consideration. The owners OF the
cemetery were in favor of giving the
league the sale of the lots but as
the contract did not state any
length OF time or specific time during
which the league might try the ex-
pertinent they will wait until IAN
other meeting before taking any
any definite action. The same COM
mittee was instructed to confer with
the owners of the cemetery as to

during which they are to try their
success in selling the lots.
