when and where to eat" will be de-
cided at the next meeting of the Civic
club which will be held at the fire sta
ton two weeks from last night, Fri
day, October q. At the meeting last
night it was decided to hold a lunch
for the club and citizens of the First
ward and their friends. At the next
regular meeting on the date mentioned
the time. place and other plans for this
occasion will be completed.
Last night only about 10 members
were present, but in two weeks be-
fore the next meeting an effort viii be
made to work up interest in the Or
ganization and insure a large attend
ance in the future.
AS to this Dr. NJ. r. Mitchell made
q talk saying that he had noticed
at the Indian Greek Grange fair the
feeling of acquaintanceship and good
will which that organiza ton was fos-
tering and that the Civic club could
accomplish the same object for, the res
idents and new corners in the FIRST
ward.
Along the line of a statement made
7bv c. z. Jordan recently, F. B. Simms
suggested that the pumping station To-
Gated at the east edge of Fairchild
street be tested occasionally and that
the city commissioners appoint man
say d fireman competent Tor the puf-
pose to look after the matter without
h. Billiard, president of the club and
mayor of the city received the idea
favorably and said that he would take
up the proposition with the commas
sioners. Y. r. Parkhurst submitted a
plan fo~ draining the surface water
after hard rainfall but as it called
for an expenditure of $4,000 it was the
sentiment of the club that some other
less expensive means should be devised
The following notice was issued.
