Logan Improvement Society.

The committee which met two
weeks ago to discuss the organiza-
tion of an Improvement Society,
which should aim to beautify our
town, met again, Tuesday evening
at the residence of DR.. Steward.
In the interval between these
meetings, various committees, ap-
pointed at first, had been enabled
to appeal to the council, to inves-
tlgate the feasibility of prompt
action in the movement, to inter
est all those citizens whom they
were able to talk with in so short
time, and to draw up plans of pro-
cedure in the work. Their re-
ports were so encouraging, that,
with this little nucleus, the socie-
ty began to materialize, a commit
tee was named to draw up con-
stitution, and plan was adopted
for the addition of new members.
The council has promised water
connection on the erstwhile Mar
ct Plaza. Many citizens have
signified their intention to offer
substantial aid, so with hearty
good will, let us all work together
for clean fresh beauty in walk and
tree and flower.
There is an appreciable improve
ment in the appearance of some of
our streets since the movement
was agitated, and those who have
accomplished this work with
homely implements, the broom,
hoe and rake, are to be thanked
and initiated, as are also others who
will inaugurate a waste basket
department which will catch the
fragments of paper that fluttel
hither and yon in the vicinity OF
the postoflice.
