The financial and general status of
the project will be discussed, and re-
ports presented by the officers show
ing the present condition of the en-
terprise. 1t is believed that the most
difficult part of the work has been &C

The initiative taken by the Ramsey
Hibernians in their enterprise is be-
ing watched with interest in other Sec
lions of the country, and by other fra
ternal bodies, so that there is every
incentive operating to arouse the ener-
gies of the membership in behalf of 1t.

been able during his at the bar to accumulate for

He did this without any legal background-his father
