COMMITTEES APPOINTED

+, tion of the Mckinley National Memoir
ial next September met in the mayor 8
court room yesterday evening at the
| call of Chairman Turnbull and the
most gigantic undertaking that any
body of Canton citizens has ever at
tempted, is under way About 30 OF
| the general committee were present at
the opening of the meeting. Chairman
| TurnbuIl in few words gave an out
| line of the immense amount Of work
that will have to be done and said the
| time was ripe for them to organize.
Harry c. Knobloch, whom the may
or had appointed to act as secretary
of the general committee, was chos-
en- by general acclamation and he
| then proceeded to reau the list. as
subdivided by the chairman. While
the magnitude of the undertaking is
/ staggering, the list of those appointed
! testified to the good judgment useu
in their selection, as they represent
the best business and professional tai
ent the city affords and Lnere is no
doubt that the project left in their
hands will be carried through in a
manner of which Cantonians will
have cause to feel proud.
ORGANIZATION GOOD.
| An excellent idea embodied in the
subdivided committees is that the
chairmen, as a whole, form the exec
utive committee. In this way the ex-
ecutive committee will represent all
of the others, and any suggestion can
be discussed and acted upon at their
meeting.
Chairman TuTnbull explained that
the National committees intention is
to leave the entire project in the hands
of the citizens of Canton, as repre-
sented in the committee appointed, but
as yet have given no information as
to what part of the expense this city
is expected to bear. The National
committee will hold a meeting at
Washington on Friday, February 4,
and the question will be taken up at
that time. The expense will be too
great to be handled locally, and no
doubt state and probably national
help will be allowed The chairman
explained that when the work is once
under way, the original committee will
no doubt have to be enlarged and list
will be submitted from which each
chairman can name as many as he
deems necessary.
Each chairman was instructed to
estimate as far as possible, before the
next meeting, what is required for
the best means of carrying out his
share Of the work and form plans to
that end as soon as possible.
A meeting of the executive COM
mittee was then called for next Sun
day afternoon at 2:30, and the first
meeting was brought to a close.
