Bismarck daily tribune., 1908-05-14

Toward this and other ends l am will
ing to devote such portion of my en-
ergy and time as | may have to
spare. But without harmony l cannot
work
Il want to do things-to urge fresh
paint, and fire inspection, and prizes
and play grounds and parks-to es-
tablish children's auxiliary or ju-
nior league, to interest the boys in
those bird clubs.
Il wanted you to establish rest
room for farmers wives, place
where they might put their wraps and
leave their babies and set down their
packages, this before the next Market
day-to be of use and real help to the
Commercial club in it's broad plans of
enlarging and enriching Bismarck
the home of our adoption. And, above
all, do not wish to be at the head of
an organization which is willing to
sponge all its existence from business
men, busy women or little children
should prefer to insist that in all
ways that we can we repay in some
way everything that the public does
for us, that whatever be done by our
supporters comes from willing hearts.
II trust that harmony will be Sc
cured, and that the improvement
league will be for years to come a
power for untold good
A motion was made that the resig-
nation be not accepted, and another
that the business of the meeting be
proceeded with, was carried, but Mrs.
Gushing insisted that she be relieved,
which was finally done, with the
thanks OF the league for her excellent
endeavors for the organization. Mrs.
Gushing then called iVce President
Mrs. w. H. Webb to the chair, and
the business of the league proceeded
AS its first president Mrs. Gushing
has labored increasingly for the good
of the league and the city of Bis
| marck. She had made a comprehen-
sive study of civic improvement and
was full of practical suggestions and
plans for the Identification Of the
city. She Has the satisfaction oi
knowing that during her short, but
successful, administration the treas
ury has been put in most excellent
condition, having about $3.50 in it
which is quite feat for an organiza
tion only three weeks old. Her retire
ment will be regretted generally by
the rank and file of the league, prac.
tically the entire membership of which
has cordially supported her through
| out.
