PLAN AND SCOPE COMMITTEE.
The suggested plan was practically
the same as last year and was adopt
ed. Mr. Burden stated he thought
items four and FIVE would conflict,
one being firemen's exhibit and the
other the firemen's parade. 1t was
explained this had been arranged
purposely as the exhibition was to be
In the nature of motor apparatus in
action which would be made while
the firemen were lined up on side
streets and the people were on the
sidewalks.
Mr.. Roddy called attention to the
fact that last year 1t was necessary
to call upon some carpenters at the
last minute to assist IN erecting the
grandstands, which they very will
mgly did. He suggested there be a
committee on erection appointed this
year. This was considered a good
suggestion and it was decided to add
TO the committees already mentioned
committee on grandstands.
The chairman stated he did not
care to act Immediately upon the ap-
pointment of the various committees
except as recommended the commit
tee on parade would be in the hands
OF the fire department and the com
mittee on baby parade will be In the
hands of the Woman's Club. How
ever, he did think the committee on
finance should be named as soon as
possible in order that 1t might be
definitely ascertained II sufficient
funds can be obtained to carry on
the celebration. The committee in
charge of finances last year was
most efficient one and 1t was decided
to name the same committee this
year, which will be as follows
George Gundrum, chairman; Frank
Dey, +. F. Kenah, j. ID. Mullane and
Joseph Subliski.
The secretary was directed to
notify each fire company that IT is
the wish of the committee that they
appoint one man from each company
to take charge of the tiremen's pa
rade. Some suggested that the chief
OF the fire department be named. but
II was thought he would undoubtedly
be named by the companies as the
chairman of the committee.
The secretary was also directed to
notify the Womaai Club to take
