CONCERTS BY
BAND WOULD
ATTRACT MANY
Directors of Board of Trade
Discussed Matter This
Morning. Action Later.
SATURDAY AFTERNOONS
IN CITl'S STAND

Band concerts may be given in the
city's bandstand at New Brunswick
avenue and Fayette street from l to
3 o'clock every Saturday afternoon
during the summer. At meeting
of the directors of the Board of
Trade this morning the matter was
brought up for discussion and while
no action was taken the members
expressed themselves as being in
favor of the plan.
The directors believe that band
concerts would be appreciated by the
citizens at large and would also draw
many people from out Of town to
this city, which would incidentally
increase the number of shoppers
The directors this morning talked of
engaging the band to play about two
or three hours on Saturday after
moons, but on account of considera-
BILE other business the matter was
laid over until the next meeting.
