A MEETING PLACE
FOR HOME COMERS
Ninth and Main Streets to be
Headquarters Of Former
RichmOndites.

The Home Coming committee of the
Fall Festival has reserved space at
the corner of Ninth and Main streets
to be used as headquarters during the
Festival. Several men will stay there
all the time to care for and locate the
visitors, and to furnish information.
While in Mishawaka yesterday.
Charles Jordan, Will Rooney and Fred
Bartel, completed arrangements with
the Frank Hatch carnival shows to
appear on the streets of the city dur
ing the Festival. The McGrail COM
pany, with which the committee had a
provisional contract, found it impossi-
BILE to bring all their shows here at
that time, so the Hatch company,
which Mr.. Jordan says is superior in
many ways. was obtained.
The chairmen of the Fall Festival
committees will report to the execu-
tive committee at 4:30 o'clock in the
Commercial club rooms tomorrow af-
ternoon. The reports will consist of
a detailed review of the material COW
cred in the premium list which was
published recently.

effective except by ordinance
Increases in salaries for next year
amounted TO almost Sc. 900, as fixed by
the appropriation ordinance. Unless
council takes action at meteing this
month on this matter and others, the
officials who assume Office the first
day of the new year will not be bene-
fitted by the proposed increases.
There will be much important bust
ness before the council at the meeting
the fifteenth of this month. as no
meeting was held on the first. There
are also many small leftover matters
and council will undoubtedly hold a
special session soon to clear up IFS
business and get ready for the usual
fall rush
