There was a large sized representa-
ton Of our business men present at

@electing officers Of the street fair as
ISOLATION OF this city. The meeting

Mr.. Brown was chosen chairman

= Mr.. Brown stated that it devolved
upon the old officers to call this meet
Ing 80 that their successors might be
chosen. early, and get to work at
once. He said said he, and the other
officers Of the street fair felt that
they had done their duty in serving
in that capacity last year and did
not think they should be asked to
serve another year for the reason
that it involved a great deal oflabor
and responsibility that should be
shared by all. ~ F.
He announced that nominations
were in order for the offices to be
filled. The following list. which is
the same as agreed upon recently,
were the unanimous choice of the
meeting:
President-Fred H. Joesting.
Vice President-B. G.. Turner. y
Secretary-Dr. F. H. Nero.
Treasurer Wetzel.
At the conclusion of the election of
officers the chairman invited discus
sion, and asked those who felt like
making any suggestions in regard to
plans to do SO.
: A. Tanner was called upon to say
something. He did not feel like
making any suggestions. He
thought the street fair question was
now in capable hands who would
see that it was carried out success
fully. He considered the prospects
for much more successful fair than
last year in the matter of attend
ance, very good.
A. SimOnet, who was an officer of
last years association, said that he
thought the first thing to be done by
the new officers was to ascertain
If the necessary financial aid could
be secured. This was the most i'm
portant work, and the association
should know at the outset how much
funds it would have and it could then
plan the fair in accordance with the
amount of money it had. He also
believed that it would be q good
policy to have all pledges offinancial
assistance made binding In some
manner SO that the association
would have positive assurance of the
amount it would have, and would
have no trouble when collection day
day came.
p. Tomelty came in after the
election Of officers and after being
informed in regard to the officers
chosen he made a mild protest. He
did not think that all the officers
should be chosen from one block,
and thought that other portions OF
the city should be represented.
These officers, he said, if they chose to
be partial, could have every attrac-
tion of consequence in that one block.
He was assured that his fears in that
direction were. groundless. Mr..
Tomelty also criticised to some ex-
tent last years fair. He said it was
not properly advertised and thought
that some departments were neg
lected. He was not disputed to any
extent, for all realized that last year,
being the first attempt, would result
in numerous mistakes, but no one
can say that they were serious ones.
Mr.. Tomelty insisted on the exclusive
use OF the floor while he had it and
promptly called several to order for
interuptlng him.
Others spoke but the concensus of
opinion was that the affairs of the
street fair should be left with the
officers elected. They are competent
energetic and will no doubt do
everything possible to make the
second annual street fair. at Little,
