A special meeting of the city govern
ment was called to order in the City hall.

mayor presiding. The primary object OF
this special meeting was to ascertain if
the city fathers would be willing to vote
an appropriate sum Of money to be ex-
pended for the entertainment and proper
reception of the governors and other dis
tinguished visitors to be present In the
city during Sept q. which has been chos-
en- by the Central Maine Fair Associa-
ton as Governors day. The records of
the previous meeting were not read.
The mayor. In speaking of the above
question. said that in conversation with
several of the leading citizens of the city
he found them unanimously agreed that
the money for this purpose should not be
taken out of the city treasury, but should
be donated for the purpose in a purse
made up from private sources.
The Board of Trade was represented as
being willing to prepare a banquet on
condition that it's efforts and financial re-
sponsibility thus incurred should have the
backing of the city. Alderman Barton OBJ
jected to this plan by saying that If the
visitors were to receive an official recog-
milton by the city of Waterville the same
could not be successfully accomplished by
Individual efforts Of private citizens.
The matter being thus discussed an or
der was introduced by Alderman George
T.. Davies to the effect that the MAYOR
with two members from the board of al
dermen and four members from the COM
mon council be constituted a committee
to extend the hospitality of the city to the
visiting governors and other distinguished
citizens from this and other states who
might be present as the guests of the
Central Maine fair during that time. The
order further stipulated that the sum OF
800 be appropriated from the miscellane-
Gus fund to defray such expenses as
should he thus incurred. The order was
passed by the board of aldermen and sub
sequently in concurrence by the common
council.
1t was then moved and seconded that
the committee of arrangements be APP

Barton. and Alderman Goodrich by Mr..
Cove. simultaneously in the adjoining
room Councilmen +. J. Downs. S. f..
Whitcomb. j. e. Poulin and j. c. Fuller

vey D. Eaton of this city. was read re-
questing that the several electric light
poles situated or Silver street and ex-
tending from the Matthews homestead to
a. point in front of the Universalist
church be removed by order of the city.

but that the company could easily dis
pense with them and conduct its business
on the street efficiently; that they were
a useless. unsightly incumbrance and
should be removed. The petition prayed

had during the next regular meeting.
