The Board of Directors of the Busl-

at the Association offices in the ia
cobs building and considered many
important matters. The annual re-
port Of the board was prepared to be
made to the Associations annual
meeting which will be held at the Y.
Al. c. A. this evening beginning at
1880 o'clock, ut which time a new
board of directors will be elected for

members Of the Association present
at last nights meeting Of the I'M
portanee ofshaving as many Of the
different lines Of business represent
cd on the board as possible and also
emphasized the fact that tile mem
bership should be well distributed

The.most interesting discussion be-
fore the boarl last night was the pro
posal OF the may yor that tile associa-
tions take some action with reference
ding d! n civ ordinante nsrugu:
lating signs. Every sign liow swing.
ing over the street is violation Of
the present ordinance.
The association decided that II
would not be proper for it to draft
ar ordinance and there were several
reasons advanced for this conclusion
One was that there is n wide differ.
Gncc of opinion among the members
of tho association, some have signs
some have none, SONG want then
and others do not. Some favor the
electric sigMs and others have Tho
dark signs. One member present last
night who has one of the largest
electric signs on Main street stated
that he would be willing to take hi.
sign down Il the city would estab
lisll an uniform system OF adequate
lighting, such as the pedestal ant
cluster system used in many cities
but unless this was done he thought
the electric signs were very mucl
needed to light the street.
ttTAnother reason advanced was tha
the association did not think It prop
| or 10 take the responsibility for al
, ordinance which will be objected I,
by many. no matter what its provi
sions are. The association also DE
l!eved that 1t would not be showing
good taste for 1t to attempt to draf
an ordinance regulating matters witt
which. 1t is most vitality concerned

The average temperature was slight

state on one or more days, but the
rainfall was not heavy enough to inter-
fere with field work. Flowing and in
some sections, corn planting pro-
crosses rapidly. In few localities
more than half of the corn has been
planted, and If favorable weather con-
tinues the bulk of the crop will be In
