In case he decides not to be affiliated

stated today. he would hand in his
resignation soon.

chautauqua board Immediately. 1t is
not known who the board has in mind
for this important position. Mr.. Good

and the chautauGua officials seemed
more than willing for him to serve
again. Inasmuch as the Y. NJ. c. A.
receives half of the net receipts, 1t is
probable man affiliated with the as

tary.
The installation of the new laundry
equipment for the association was
commenced today. Frank Osborn will
have charge. While the initial ex.
pense is high, the board feels that a
great saving will be effected in the
