 Was the sum of $150 appropriated Joy the city as in years past for band concerts, and if so what is going to be done with it? That is question that is being frequently asked. Tn past years $150 was appropriated by the city for band concerts which were given on the green. This sum, to- gether with subscriptions from local merchants, was fair compensation for the services of the members of the band, which gave twelve concerts on the green during the summer. By the terms of the local musicians un- ion, to which the members of the local bands belong, it is not permissible for the band to take up subscriptions any more to pay them for their services.
