Ing to organize sufficient clubs TO give each
member at least one presidency.
The latest suggestion which these various
clubs and societies have TO pass on was
made In an unsigned letter rejected BY a
local paper. The writer suggested this:
That at the city limits signboards be
coi structed and on them these words
painted: This is the city limits Of Lin
coin. Wipe your feet before entering"
In the meantime the papers here had
several letters this morning regarding the
now famous request Of s. II. Burnham for
a temporary bank sign. As only the City
Improvement club, whose presidents hus-
band voiced the first public objection to
the sign, and the city council, have passed
on It, II may be some time before the
matter is finally settled. An election could
be called on the matter at the same time
the city commission offers its plans to the
voters.
