committee appointed recently in Ar

canvass for funds, and is being aided

committee.
Residents of the Melrose section will
hold a mass meeting at Lincoln school
tomorrow evening to promote anneYa-
ton sentiment in that section. the
movement for incorporation OF the
town of 7-elrose has been absorbed by
the feeling for union with Los An

out the western district has likewise
been shifted toward the annexation
movement. If annexation should fail,
however, residents of that district say
that drastic measures will be taken
for lower water charges.
