ing an auditorium since the Masonic
lodge decided that it could not finance
such an undertaking, yet those who
want to see Fredericktown hold it's
own in public matters, are hard at
work trying to work out solution of
the problem, so that the people OF
Wayne and adjoining townships may
have a place to meet in comfort and
safety This proposition is certainly
not dead one and the longer it is
put off the greater will be the need.
One of the solutions suggested was
that a township house be built, made
in such manner that it will serve
the double purpose of auditorium and
township house. Under the new law
of appraisement there will be funds
available for such purposes and the
payments could be so arranged that
no one would have an added burden
because of the improvement. Anoth-
er matter fully as important was the
request that the club father a petition
asking the Ohio Fuel Supply Company
to enlarge their gas mains to Fred
ericktown so as to insure a sufficient
supply during the coming winter.
Many of our people suffered because
of shortage last winter and If this
petition be circulated at once the COM
pany will have plenty of time to lay
their pipes before bad weather sets
in. The club then adjourned until
further call by the president.
