Quite number of people were out
Saturday night to hear the band
play and they were not disappointed
in the music, either. We would like
to register a kick and it is in the
bands behalf. Saturday night the
concert was given in the open street
owing to the lights having been cut
off at the stand. Now surely the cit
izens cannot expect the band to pay
for electric lights out of its treasury
and at the same time furnish free
music. Well then, those lights should
be paid for, either by the city or by
public subscription.
