Tor the purpose cC IuTIHeT ulSCuSS-
ing the extensive program planned
for the Fourth, and to announce
their complete working stats for
the event.
The three most important sub
.jects were the big parade, which
will usher in the big events of the
day. the Mardi Gras carnival and
the fireworks display. The dis
cussion of the Mardi Gras led to
the formulation of plans, subject
to revision, which were made with
the object of offering suitable in
ducements to get a larger number
or marchers into the evening pro-
'cession than have participated on
previous occasions. 1t was decided
to hold two dances, n in Ross
Holly hall, and one in Elks' hall,
of the jitney variety, and both to
start not earlier than 10 O'Clock,
so that there will be ample time
for the carnival spirit to thorough
ly pervade the crowd before at
tending. There will be plenty OF
confetti provided at both halls.
- Inc appropriation " pllLC0 "
turnouts in the morning parade
was increased from $3.50 to $500,
and the prizes will be large enough
to tempt prospective entrants to
the making of an extensive dis
play. 1t was also decided to have
an elaborate Goldfield float in the
procession. The parade commit
