and urged that they levy the one
half mill tax to provide for Il Pierce

After presenting the matter to the

and accomplishments the commission
ers decided that it was proper to act
,rpon the matter at the present time
so that the association might begin

Pierce county will have an association
this summer, as the banks will finance

should agree to furnish the balance

required twenty-five per cent had been
secured and thereby remove tho lia-
