The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1912-10-11
Club

AS Was anticipated, the meeting
OF the Improvement Club Monday
evening at Grange hall. was of un-
usual interest. Matters of interest
were discussed and good program
was carried out. Without desiring
to cause any feeling of regret on the
part OF those who neglected to be
out, it may be said they missed
treat.
AS result of the meeting, there
is probability that Friday Harbor
water front will in the near future
present an appearance more pleasing
to those landing at the wharf than
at present.
A committee. consisting of L. j.
Irwin, j. A. Mccormick and P. A.
Perry. was appointed to have charge
OF arrangements on a certain day,
to be announced later, when every
individual who ever has occasion to
use our streets, will be asked to
contribute his services to help fill in
and beautify that part of the water
front which is now used as a refuse
dump. Those who are willing to
contribute the use of team on that
day will be doubly appreciated.
All volunteer workers will be served
with a lunch at noon time. which
will be more than Iunch-it will
be a meal. 1t will be served by
the ladies, and those in charge will
appreciate contributions from any.
and every source on that day. The
committee appointed to look after
this part of the days work consists
of Mrs. O. H. Culver, Mrs. 6. B.
briggs Mrs. c.. M. Tucker, Mrs. LIE
j. Irwin and Mrs. P. A. Perry.
Mrs. Mary Francis, and Mrs. Warren
Digh:man
These two committees will meet in
joint session this (Friday) evening
at the Photographic studio of j. Az
Mccormick for the purpose of peri
fecting arrangements and deciding
on date for this important work to
be done.
The city council was asked to CO.
operate in the work in the form of
a resolution, drafted by O. H. Cul-
yer, who was appointed committee
of one for the purpose. 1t was. as
follows:
