zie stated that his father had joined
the company at ST. Louis, although
he had seen service before at Ft.
Townsend against the Indians. From
st. Louis the company was sent to
New Orleans and from there was
transported to Vera Cruz.
The march from Vera Cruz was
very difficult. The roads were in bad
shape and were often blockaded by
the Mexicans. Where the roads were
biockaded the Americans were forced
to build roads around the blockaoes.
While doing this the Mexicans WOULD
start their attack. Mr.. Mckenzie was
too young to do any fighting himself
at the time but remembers many in
teresting incidents that occurred on
the march.

Place Public Cans.
The tangible work Of the year has
been the placing OF rubbish cans on
Main, Johnson and Blondeau streets,

at cost OF S113.4O.
1t has been the purpose Of the
league each year to make some practi-
cal contribution to the city's vel

tains were placed on Main street and
this year the waste paper boxes were
installed. Through our ward chair

In the conduct of cleanup day. The
policy OF keeping clean all the year
has been advocated by the Civic
league since its organization. Some
OF our lieutenants have been on duty
all year and many unsightly piles of
brick and stone have been removed
through their efforts, as we'll as dead
trees removed and other cleanup

too expensive a proposition for us
alone to carry out successfully. We
hope however that with the co-opera-
ton of other organizations and
agencies, a trained supervisor may in
the near future be employed for this
work, for the welfare of the children
in the summer who would otherwise
be on the street or playing under far
from desirable places and conditions.
A committee appointed this year
whose work has just begun, is the
committee to work for the improve
ment of the new addition to Rand
park on the river bluff. In the two
years of the existence Of the league,
much work of practical nature has
been accomplished by the members,
but this alone does not measure the
good accomplished. The bringing to-
gether of the women Of this city from
every ward, having for an object to
extend a knowledge of public affairs
and to aid in improving civic condi-
tions has been worth the time and eff
fort expended.
In laying down the duties Of presi-
dent, which office I have had the hon
or to hold since the organization,
wish to thank the officers, directors
and members for their faithful work
and for their sympathetic cooperation
That we all shall work together in the

vigor, is my earnest wish.

Garbage Plan Endorsed.

On motion, the members present
unanimously endorsed the plan. The
league has been working for a more
sanitary and regular collection of gar
bage than has been in existence,
realizing that the disposal of kitchen
garbage is a real problem to the
housewife. The leagues committee
found upon investigation that much of
the garbage is being thrown in the
city dumps in violation to the ordin-
ance, or on the ground little way out
side the city. For these reasons the
league wishes 20 urge the housewives
to encourage this more sanitary and
more systematic plan of disposing of
kitchen waste. It Is understood that
the charge for collection is not to be
an unreasonable amount.
