SESSION

The city council in their regular
meeting Monday night We're asked by
committee from the Chamber of
Commerce consisting of Messrs. G. H
Sale, w. H. Dozier and r. B. Johnson
to grant a regular allowance each
month for the support of the elk in
the city park.
There has been some talk of releas-
ing some of the elk. 1t is understood
that the Chamber of Commerce does
not want this done at present, SO they
told the council through the commit
tee that they would take the responsi-
biIity of the care and feeding of the
elk if the city council would grant
them a certain allowance each month.
The chamber feels that the time is not
ripe for the release of any of the elk
although perhaps at later time it
might be a good thing
No definite action on the matter
was taken and the committee was ask
ed to look up more definite informa-
tion in reference to the needs of the
animals and then report back. At
that time definite action will be taken.
