sertiOn of the advertisements in the
above papers as previously author
lied, which order Mr. POntOn has al
ready executed. Mr. POntOn states
that as a result of this advertising
inquiries are already coming in and
that he has supplied all data ask
ed for.
1t is highly probable that within
a few days interested parties will be
in Holly to look into the matter
and if satisfactory the construction
of an ice plant will be completed in
time to do some business during
the present season. 1t was also sug-
gested that an ice cream factory
and perhaps cold storage plant
might be operated in connection
with the ice plant to pecuniary ad-
vantage as well as the convenience
to the town of Holly and vicinity.
With a free building site, and
with the field there is adjacent to
Holly, for selling both ice and ice
cream, there ought not to be any
great hazard in the venture by any
man who understands the business,
while it looks to the layman as if
there should be good profit in the
investment involved in modern
ice plant and ice cream factory not
to mention other possibilities.
Chairman Edward HaberstrOh of
the rest room committee reported
that to place the John Duncan
building adjoining Wilkin G. Schlag-
ers office, in shape for occupancy
would require cash outlay of ap-
proximately $125 outside of furni-
ture, and that the latter could prob
ably be supplied by the WOmen's
Civic club. Mr.. Duncan, in consid-
Grafton of the improvement of the
property as proposed, agreed to
give the use of the building for one
year free of rental. On motion the
report was laid over till future
meeting without further action.
In view of the removal of Ray
Brown from Holly, thus rendering
it impossible for him to work with
the club as chairman of the Trail
committee, H. S. EdgmOn, manager
of the Holly Auto Co., was appoint
ed by President Dicks to act in
Mr.. Browns place.
A. j. Cline, one of the prosperous
and progressive farmer members of
the club, being present, was asked
by President Dicks if he had any.
thing to suggest which would pro-
mote the growth and development
of the town and country, and sug-
gested that there was talk of ex-
tending the electric light service to
his section, whereupon it developed
that the city could not build an

of the corporation but that this
fact would not prevent the farmers
from building connecting line to
the corporate limits and securing
current from the city plant. Mr..
Cline said that some three or four
of his neighbors had talked of the
feasibility of securing this light SER
vice The matter will probably be
brought up at future meeting of
the club.
Supt K. A. Shanner of the Holly
schools was then asked for a report
on the matter of a farmers short
course school as proposed at a pre-
vious meeting of the club, at which
time Mr.. Shanner was authorized to
ascertain the sentiment of the farm
ers on the matter Mr.. Shanner
reported that owing to the lateness
of the season and the fact that
farmers were quite generally behind
with their work this year, owing to
the long winter, most of the farmers
were of the opinion that they would
not have time to attend such a
short course or institute this
spring. 1t was therefore decided to
abandon this matter for the pres.
ent.
