f N. N. Bergheim and Mrs. F. G. Ruth
appeared on behalf Of the Civic league
and asked the council to pay one-half
Of the bill for the care Of Mrs. Chas.

time she was taken to the hospital for
treatment it was not thought she
would be there very long. but her
condition was such that she had to be
be kept there Tor five weeks. The to-
tai amount of the bill was $4650 and
the league agreed to pay one-half if
the council would pay the other half.
They also told the council Of needy
Polish family Of the cl.y which one
of the Hawthorne teachers had called
the attention of Miss Lally, the visit
ing nurse, to. In this home the hus-
band is an invalid and has been ill for
over three years. Three children who
have been attending school, had no
clothing when the league representa-
tives visited the home, being clad
merely with flour sacks, not even hav-
ing shoes or stockings. The league
purchased $17 worth of clothing for,
the family and the visiting nurse did
considerable free work there. The
father stated that he could feed the
children but said that he was unable
to clothe them. The council agreed
to pay one-half of both bills, and ap-
propriated $31.75 for this purpose.

turing company for $854.07 for repair

third from the county. The total cost
