BAR
ASSOC|AI|ON
TO MEET HERE
AWYERs TO HOLD CONVENTION
EITHER IN THIS CITY OR
ON ST. SIMON.
pdse D. w. krauss Received Letter
Yesterday From Secretary Parks
Asking for Information About the
City and Islands.


x According to a letter received yes
terday by Judge D. w. Krauss, it is
more than likely that the Georgia Bar
association will hold its next meeting
either in Brunswick or on ST. Simon
FOr Cumberland. The letter in ques-
#tion was from Orville Park, of Macon,
Secretary Of the organization, and he
announces that the executive commit
tee, which has the selection of the
Ameeting place in charge, has thought
favorahly of Brunswick as a most de-
sirable place for the convention.
# Judge Krauss will at once reply to
'Athe letter and he will not only invite
q the lawyers on behalf of the local bar
N.associattion to meet in Brunswick or
Son st. Simon, but will give them all
# the information asked for
Judge Krauss will discuss the mat
d ter with other members of the local
d lar to ascertain whether it would be
more convenient to meet in the city
or on st. Simon. The schedule to the
island being so convenient. y re be-
ing three or four bos'3 4dily, the
meeting could be held il, tnis city and
the members of the association could
visit the island at their pleasure.
This it seems, would he more desir-
able. However, with the completion
of the new hotel there will be ample
accommodations, and ST. Simon would
no doubt make magnificent meeting
place. The letter received from Sec
retary Park is as. follows:
MacGa, Ca, Feb. IA, 1911.
Hon. D. w. Kr, s, Brunswick, Ga.
My Dear Sir; The executive COM
mittee of the GI gia Bar association
in endeavoring select place for
the annual meeting, have thought of
your city or one of the island resorts
nearby as probably appropriate and
one that would be most agreeable to
considerable proportion of our mem
Fership. With the exception of a
meeting in Savannah some three or
four years ago, the association has
not met in south Georgia in many
years, consequently our membership
in your section is nothing like so
large as it should be- Our north
ing to the sea coast and it has occur
red to the executive committee that a
meeting in Brunswick or on one of
the islands, provided suitable accom-
modations could be secured, would be
very ATTRACTIVE to the entire member
ship.
1t is not the desire of the commit
tee to be entertained by the members
of the Brunswick liar or to put your
barr to any inconvenience, however,
we would not be willing to go to your
city unless the members of the asso-
citation living in Brunswick approved
of our meeting there. The committee
therefore, instructed me to write to
three or four members Of your bar
and secure from you an expression
as to holding the meeting there. We
would like to know whether your bar
would look with favor on the meeting
of the association and also whether
suitable accommodations for say $50
members and some 25 or 80 ladies
can be secured.
1t would probably he better if the
meeting could be held on st. Simon
or Cumberland. My impression is
that the accommodations at both
places are limited, though | may be
mistaken as to this. If suitable hotel
accommodations could be secured at
St Simon and place to hold the ses-
sions think that the members of the
association at large would greatly en-
joy going.
The time tentatively agreed on is
the 18th and 18th of June. If we can
not be accommodated at st. Simon or
Cumberland what do you think of
-sceting at Brunswick itself? l have
no doubt the Oglethorpe could take
care of us properly and suppose the
court room or some other small audi
torium could be easily secured for
the meeting. We might arrange for
AN afternoon outing on st. Simon and
in this way have a satisfactory gath
ering. l will appreciate very much
if you will discuss the matter with
some of the other members of your
bar and write me fully and candidly
on the entire subject. Please impress
on the members that the committee
has no desire to thrust itself on you
and we do not expect or desire that
you should go to any expense or trou-
fae to entertain us. Hoping to hear
