A committee was appointed to
investigate local fire insurance

get them lowered.
The proposed increase of freight
rates on rough materials into Co

secretary instructed to protest
against same to the railroad au-
thorities.
The matter of securing for
Lowndes county the model school
system which is to be establish
ed in some Mississippi county by
the General Educational Board
was discussed, but as county
agricultural high school is an es-
sential part of these plans, it was
decided that the matter should be
considered further.
The proposition was made that
Coiumbus should nave a Carnegie
library and committee was ap-
pointed to look into the matter.
Some consideration was given
to recognizing the Chamber of
