 Mayor Daniel P. Dunn announced that he would give $20 in gold to be distributed as prizes to the children engaged in the work, in any man ner which the committee might decide, and this was left to the school com mittee to report at 8 subsequent meet ing after talking with the teachers of the city.
 The city officials will cooperate in the campaign as will the board of trade, and the clergymen and pastors will be asked to help by public an ncuncement and every means in their power. Mayor Dunn will issue 8 proc- lamation appealing to everyone in the to further the worthy object.
 Among methods and suggestions dis cussed at the meeting, one fact stands out pre- eminent, and that is the city,s need of a public dumping ground. Su- perintendent of Streets E. o. Sumner was requested to keep his eyes open for available sites and it may be that one outcome of this agitation will be the purchase of land for such a pur- pose, or at any rate the suggestion of such action to the city.
 The matter of sewer connections was thoroughly discussed also, and those who have, willingly or unwittingly, failed to follow the ordinance in this matter, may be prodded to do their duty in some way best suited to the accomplishment of that purpose.
 Another suggestion made was that photographs be taken of unsightiy and unsanitary places, and published in the press of the owners took no steps to remedy the conditions. Several such places were talked over Sub Committee Named.
 Publicity through the press was stated to be the best way to Keep the campaign before the public and the films of the moving picture houses will also be used, if arrangements can made. A press committee to look after these two branches was select ed, to consist of A. N. Potvin. Frank H. Foss. J. N Gilman and J. F. Two mey.

 The school children will be asked to help, probably by the distribution of cards in their. respective neighbor- hoods, and in Aother ways. In New Haven and other cities, they have as- SiSlSo Iudt6ItdlIy III CdIQpdlSHS- MFS. John Reilly and Frank H. F'oss were appointed a committee to see what can be done in this regard. Street Department to Aid. MT. E. O. Summer, the street super intendent, will select spots for the dumping of the refuse which may be collected, and the city will undoubt- edly carry away such refuse as may be cleaned up by the children or oth- CTS on vacant or unoccupied land. They will not, however, go into the general business of disposing of all rubbish, for it seemed inadvisable to the committee to make such a re- quest.
 Beautifying Square Suggested. One suggestion which merits consid- eration was the planting of a flower bed in the square between the wait ing room at the railroad station and the street.
 A great deal of enthusiasm was aroused, and many valuable sugges- tfons were made at the meeting. What
