evening in keeping with the efforts OF the
past several names were added TO the en-
rollment.
The committee on the betterment OF the
conditions OF the local also reported sew
eral suggestions that were considered
very favorably.
The delegates TO the Central body made
a report that was full OF interest. showing
the action taken at the last meeting. that
was of particular interest to the walters
and also the proposed new methods which
II was thought would have such bene-
ficlal effect on the delegates from the
locals.
In addition to this there were several
communications received which occupied
some of the time in discussion. They
were finally disposed OF by referring them
TO the corresponding secretary for atten-
tion.
The next matter to call for the attention
Of the body was the report Of the ball
committee This committee had all the
ARRANGEMENTS for the AFFAIR in charge and
10 them was due the success of the enter
tsinment OF last Thursday evening.
Though Il was too early to have a final
report on the affair the document was so
far completed that a fair indication could
be had of the outcome OF the affair. The
committee stated that this year the affair
would be fully as successful as that OF
last year when the local made clear OF all
expenses more than 800. The tickets have
not all been heard from as yet but thus
