Week-Water Commission to Begin |
 Hearings May 21.
 The Clean City league that is the title of Putnam's newest organization. It was formed Saturday afternoon at a meeting held Tn the town and city building, and it is going to be heard from right at the start. The object of the league is indicated by it's title to make Putnam ciean. bright, spick and span-a genuine spotless town.
 The league is m overnight associ- alton. It is pe1manent organiza- ticn and the interest displayed in giy- ing 1t birth indicates that it will do well the work that it has set out to dc It's being is due to the recent agi- tation for a cleanup day in Putnam. Instead. as a first work there is to be a cleanup week. This will be inaug urated on May 20, and the plans out lined call for a busy period in which it is hoped to interest all of the peO- pie of the city who are in a position to improve unsightly spots in Put nam After that task is accomplished the league win devote its attention to such improvements as will come with ing it's scope of endeavor.
 Only q small attendance was looked for at Saturday afternoons meeting, but there was qualification over the fact that more than fifty women and men gathered to take part in the pro- ceedings. Mayor Archibald Macdon aid called the meeting to order, and Dr. Omer Larue. health officer, was selected as chairman. Mrs. Silas M. Wfhelock was made secretary.
 The discussion of the objects for which the meeting was called resulted in a decision not only to give Put nam a real cleaning up out of doors, but as well to form a permanent or ganiZation. In furtherance of that decision officers and committees were elected as follows
 President Dr. Omer Larue; secre- tary, Mrs. Silas M. Wheelock; treas urer, Mrs. Allan w. Bowen: general committee Frank H. Cordier, w. E. Dawson, M. P Dutton, Mrs C. D. i Sharpe, Rev. F. D, Sargent; commit tee for soliciting funds. Mrs. Allan w. Bowen, Harry C. Meinken. George Potvin; committee for soliciting use 1 of teams, Miss Edith Kent, L. M. ! Keith, Mrs. F. J. Daniels; publicity i committee, George L. Padgett, Arthur i s. Macdonald, John c. Johnson; com mittee to interest schools Dr. Omer ! Larue, Rev. Mother Paula, Miss Edith Kent
 The first committee to get into ac- tive service will be that whose duties 1 include the soliciting of funds. It is i expected that the members will be at work this (AIonday) morning. A quick i campaign is necessary. as only few 1 days remain before the coming of the cleanup week. Money will be needed to do all that the league wishes to do and all that should be done. Indica
 tions are that the responses to the ] appeal for funds will be liberal. There seems to be general interest in the 1 worthy object for which the organiza-
 ton is to work.
 The other committees will see that
 due publicity is given the crusade fol
 an immaculate city and will do suci
 other work as has been mapped ou
 for them. Everyone's help and coop eration will be sought and needed tC
 achieve the most highly satisfactory
 results and no effort will be spared bl the public spirited people who have SC .out to do this work in getting sucl
 assistance.
