decided to publish a complete list
Of the standing committees
Considerable time was devoted to
the discussion of sidewalks. and how
to obtain better sidewalks for
Brownsville The suggestion was
made that an estimate of all the
sidewalks needed be made by some
competent man and price on the
entire job of building them secured,
after which the club should endeav-
or to induce all of the property own
ers to construct sidewalks, paying
their pro rata In this manner, it
was pointed out, the cost of build
ing sidewalks would be greatly re-
duced.
The matter of free delivery of
mail for the city was also discus
sed and, on motion of DR.. h. h
Loew, the secretary was authorized
to address a communication to the
chairman of the civic Improvement
committee requesting him to call a
meeting of that committee at his

Mr.. Stegman moved that in ali

was carried.
The assistant secretary was au-
thorized to write to the various
commercial clubs up the Valley TO
secure the names of the chairman of
the railroad committees of these
clubs, so that, when any matter per-
tanning to the reduction of freight
rates or other matters of equal in

The four acts are equally divided be- tween New York City and Yer mont, the play centering about the efforts of a sharp New York attorney to marry Edith Marston an heireSS for her money. How his plot is foiled by Uncle Josh and the happy termination make a seeable play, which will doubt less attract a large audience to the Greeson opera house.
