city'S celebration of the centennial.
neXt June. Every ore has admitted
that the work should be commenced
at once as there is now little time
enough to arrange a program that Will
be fitting for the occasion. But thee
has been some hesitation in regard To
taking the initiative. Several plans
have been suggested. but il seems best
to everyone that the Board Of Trade
should set the ball rolling as it is the
most representative organization in the
city and the one most capable of push
ing the affair through to success.
4 petition was therefore started.
Thursday. and was met with a willing
ard hearty response. Everyone 10
whom it was presented signed without
hesita tion. some of the men being those
who ordinarily are not inclined to this
sort Of thing. The list of names is n
very representative one and shows tie
amount Of interest i'll the centennial.
DR.. J. +. Hill met the petition in the
same spirit with which ii was gotten
up and Immediately issued q call for
the meeting. This is the first actual
step taken in the affair and il is be
lieVcd that matte.s can now move
steadily and that the plans can be rap
idly formulated. The following is the
petition and DIR. Hills call for the
meeting:
