by Mrs. Galley when the latter was
chairman Of the league, and for that
reason considerable bitterness has
been aroused among the members by
the action OF the present oficers In
squelching the Cincinnati woman.
Court action may be. taken by the
league TO have the recent submission
OF charter amendments declared IL
legal on the ground that women were
denied the right to vote on them.
The state constitution provides that
women shall be allowed to- vote upon
questions involving the direct ex-
penditure OF money. and the league
takes the position that several Of the
recently passed charter amendments
do involve the direct expenditure Of
money. City Clerk Lindsay. prior TO
the election, acting on the advice IL
the corporation counsel, ruled that
the women had no right to vote on
the amendments.
The league Monday afternoon ap-
pointed Mrs. Alexander Macdonald,
Mrs. John Finley and Mrs. T. C..
Greenwood as q committee to consult
with an attorney with view Of TAX
ing court action against the canvass
ing board before Il adjourns. The
league members are unanimously IN
favor OF the amendments. and .or
that reason have been slow to decide
to attempt to invalidate them.
M. r. Macdonald, an attorney, ad-
dressed the meeting and gave II rs
his opinion that the women were IN.
title to vote on several OF the amend
ments.

Civic LEAGUE PLANTING Trees.

AS part of their general plan for
the Identification of Donaldsonville
the Woman's Civic League have had
number of blackberry and live oak
trees planted along various streets
Of the city, and expect to make fur
'ther paintings Of these and other
varieties of shade trees until every
street in the corporate limits has
been thus provided for. The trees
set out this week were obtained
from plantations of the Lemann Co.,
Ltd, and were transported from the
woods to Donaldsonyille in three
mule carts furnished free of charge
by that firm, the only cost to the
League for the trees being the small
sum paid the negro laborers for dig
ging and hauling them. Property
owners in front of whose premises
the trees have been planted are
asked to look after them and see
That they are given a fair chance
to grow, and every good citizen
should deem it a pleasant duty to
extend this measure of cooperation
to the public-spirited ladies of the
Civic League in their efforts to beau.
lily the city and improve living con
ditions.
