 encountered some difficulty in pro-
 curing the ones they desire and the
 matter was postponed until next
 year.
 The post members also voted
 against renting the now unused half
 of the headquarters. At present the
 building on Pierce street is divided and the post occupies only one DOT
 tion of it. An additional rent was asked for the entire building but the
 officials are of the opinion that the
 place used now is large enough to acconm odate the members and the added expense will not be necessary.
