tended business trip shortly and as
the regular annual election of
officers was but four weeks distant.
he considered it opportune that such
action be taken.

but little success with the county
commissioners with whom they had
had speach, and thought the pros
pect of obtaining immediate action
through the commissioners was very
remote, as the regular meeting of the
board was some weeks off and there
was no one with power to act in the
INTERN.

IL was decided that the committee
should at once take up the work and
push IL to completion and that. later
the commissioners be asked TO re-em-
burse the club.
