object of the meeting, Mr.. George A

the naval visitors, and that they could
well proceed with their duties without

chairman thereupon appointed Mr.
Lightfoot a committee of one to ascer-

such purposes and the cost, which,
when received. would be submitted to
the executive committee for considera-

be an absolute necessity during the
visit of the people of the fleet and that
an appropriation of sufficient money be
made to cover the care of such stations
and headquarters The chairman re-
ferred the matter of cost to Mr.. Light
