AT an adjourned meeting of the
shareholders of the Edgerton Driving
Park association, held at the directors
room of the Tobacco Exchange bank
Saturday evening, the annual election
of officers and directors were chosen as
follows: Pres, T. B. Earle; Vice Pres,
C. G. Biederman; Sec. and Treas, H.
McInnes. The board of directors are
J. M. Conway, Thos. Wileman, VIM.
Stricken, Sam Wileman and o. j. Jen-
son. Some discussion was had regard
ing the sale of the driving park to the
city if the council thought advisable to
purchase. The association holds title
to 80 acres of land, including fine
grove, that could easily be converted
into fine park. We learn that out
side parties stand ready to offer an at
tractive price for the property, but
such sale would preclude its further
use as race course or for park pur-
poses. A committee was selected to
consider these questions.
