ington's birthday-Watertown ought
to give a monster celebration to the
returned soldiers, showing our appre-
citation of their services.

back in body. When they do we will
notify all citizens and I trust that ev-

To the Common Council City of Wa
tertOwn.
Gentlemen
1 have been appealed to to aid in
the celebrating Of Christmas with a
| Christmas Community Tree. 1 have
assured the people back of this
movement that they would receive nv
aid and l trust that you feel the same
way. A communication will be read
addressed to Mrs. Herman T. Eberle
stating how the Community Christmas
tree is taken care of in Milwaukee.
[ would advise that the council elect
three of their own members to be re-
presented on the committee and that
Mrs. H. T. Eberle be made chairman.
and that the committee Immediately
see Mrs. Eberle and elect three other
members, of which two I would like
to see women members.
1t may be possible that owing 20 the
influenza we may have to postpone the
movement for this year. but in that
case we can organize for next year, al
though let us hope that we may be
able to hold the same this year.
l am recommending that a resolu-
ton be introduced allowing two hun
dred dollars on the part of the city to
help defray expenses
