PETER S. MUNTZ SURPRISED.

On last Thursday night, at the resi-
dence of Hon. VI. S. Mahoney, there
was called a special meeting of the
lAlgiers Improvement Association for
the purpose of hOnOring their Secre-
tary, Peter +. Muntz, who has so faith
fully served the association as sec
rotary, and who has repeatedly re-
fused compensation for his services.
II was decided by the members of the
association that they show 10 Mr.
Muntz their appreciation for his ser
vices, and it was decided to present
him with some token emblematic of
the feeling toward him by the men,
bers. Mr.. Muntz was requested to
attend this meeting at Mr.. Mahoneys,
and as the meeting was called to or
der by Mr.. Mahoney, who made the
presentation speech, Mr.. Muntz was
at once appraised of the purpose of
| the meeting, and in a neat little
speech Mr.. Mahoney presented a beau
tiful gold watch, fob and gold charm,
properly engraved Presented to Peter
Z. Muntz by the Algiers Improvement
Association, Feb. 1912" At the close
of Mr.. Mahoney's address, Mr.. Muntz
responded in keeping with his feel
ings and it was with much effort that
he was able to thank the members of
the association. He no doubt appre-
ciated the gift and accepted it with
the same good feeling and good will
as it was given.
Mr.. Muntz is one of our most popu-
lar young men, he being the valued
secretary of the Levee Board. and
also a member of the Board of Di- |
rectors of St. Alphonsus Orphan Asy- |
lum, representing our district on the |
board. He also has been closely as
sociated with any movement looking |
toward the advancement of Algiers. |
After the ceremony at the Mahoney
residence Thursday night refreshments
were served by the host. The follow
ing resolutions. adopted by the Algiers
improvement Association, were pre-
sented to Mr.. Muntz:
