land and c. l.. Glines.
1t was presumed that all those APP
pointed on these committees would
become members of the League other
wise changes would have to be made
Mrs. Andrews, Mrs. Bardwell, and
Mr.. Casteel were appointed to request
the Mayor to issue a proclamation
for clean up week.
The suggestion made by Mr. Cor
don, lst vice president of the League,
that the dates for clean up be5th, 9th,
9TH and Sth was adopted.
DR.. Johnson made some valuable
suggestions, he said, begin at the very
center of the town and work out from
that point, that the county court
house and grounds were the first
views the stranger had upon entering
the city, and while the hitching posts
around the square are not the most
pleasing to the sight, still if flowers
were planted, drinking fountain
erected, and other features added in
the court park, the conditions would
be much improved. DR. Johnson
moved that committee be appointed
to take up the matter of a drinking
fountain. Motion carried and DR..
Johnson and Mrs. c. Z. Scott were
appointed on the committee.
Mrs. Scott made a booster talk, in
which she said, boost for the Civic
League, for the merchants, for the
schools, for the churches, and every
body boost for Harrison and help
make it more desirable place in
which to live.
Brother Cummings address was very
much appreciated. 1t will appear
next week. Altogether the meeting
was a success.
