At DanYille.
Village Improvement Annual.

$500 had been received from enter
tainments and $500 from gifts; S33
had been expended for oil and lighting
OF lamps, 500 for lamp supplies, and $50
in repairing sidewalks. After the cleo
ton of officers and committees, the sub
lect OF buying new lamps was discussed.
1t was agreed that the Association
would maintain the running of the one
already placed, during this winter, in
order to ascertain the cost and anything
connected with it that might make it
impracticable to buy any more. If it
proves satisfactory the executive COM
mittee is to canvass the village for
pledges from those willing to help run
the lamps, and if there are sufficient,
then the Association will purchase the
lamps required, but will not assume the
responsibility of maintaining them.
